Supporting all Golfers* in Minnesota
*Everyone is a golfer, some just don’t know it yet.
Committed to Golf’s Future in Minnesota
For over a century, the Minnesota Golf Association has been dedicated to serving golfers, supporting courses, and growing the game across the state. As the governing body for amateur golf in Minnesota, we provide championship opportunities, administer the World Handicap System™, and ensure fair play for all. Our commitment extends beyond competition—we advocate for the future of golf, ensuring it remains a sport that is accessible, welcoming, and impactful for generations to come.


Supporting Minnesota Courses
A core part of our mission is supporting Minnesota’s golf courses and facilities. We provide essential services like course rating, handicap administration, and tournament management tools, helping facilities operate smoothly and enhance the golfer experience. Through education, networking, and advocacy, we work to strengthen Minnesota’s golf community and ensure courses have the resources they need to thrive.
MGA Foundation
Through the MGA Foundation, we are committed to making golf a lifelong, community-driven sport. Programs like Youth on Course, caddie development, adaptive golf, and academic scholarships break down barriers, create opportunities, and expand access to the game.
