To contact the captains for the leagues CLICK HERE, 2025 coming soon
We have something for everyone: leagues for competition, leagues for those want to play golf for fun without the competitive element, and travel leagues for those who want to play 18 holes. All players are encouraged to carry a handicap. This will allow you to play in certain LPGA Amateur and non-LPGA Amateur events and help you watch how your game improves. Read articles in newsletters to learn more about signing up and maintaining a handicap. Handicaps are not required for social play.
Before you can register for leagues, you must be a paid up member of LPGA Amateurs.

Play Level
EVERYBODY'S DIFFERENT. People who play golf have widely differing expectations and abilities. We have tailored leagues to fit your priorities, personal abilities and preferences so you never feel constrained by the needs of the group, and your idea of a perfect day isn't imposed on anyone else. Pick the Play Level that is right for you. |
| PLAY LEVEL | HOW DO YOU DESCRIBE YOUR PLAY |
|---|---|
| Play Level 1 | You are getting started at the game of golf. You have played a few times with others, maybe in a scramble at work or for a fund raiser. You have clubs but aren’t sure which club to use when. You may be taking lessons but need some time on the course and with other golfers to get comfortable with the game. |
| Play Level 2 | You aren’t a beginner but are not yet comfortable playing on a full course with others. But you still want the experience and camaraderie of playing with others and want to continue to improve your game on a full course. Scramble play suits you so you can rely on another person when your shot might not be working just then. |
| Play Level 3 | You have been playing golf and understand the etiquette, but your shots may not be consistent, and you shoot double bogey or more regularly. |
| Play Level 4 | You play golf regularly and your shots are fairly consistent. You play at a good pace, understand the etiquette, and prefer the social aspects of the game versus the competitive aspects. You shoot par, bogey, some double bogeys and an occasional birdie. |
| Play Level 5 | You like to play competitive golf. You carry a handicap and report scores for each round played. You shoot pars, bogeys, double bogeys and occasionally a birdie. You like to play fast golf. |
League Rules - Welcome to the LPGA Amateur Golf Association Columbus, OH Chapter leagues. We hope this will be the start of a fun and exciting season of golf for our members. Please review this key information for league participants.
All Columbus LPGA Amateurs Golf Association Leagues and Golf Events are expected to follow all federal, state, local, golf course, and chapter specific directives to ensure our players can participate in a safe environment. Players participate at their own risk.
All league players must be members of LPGA Amateurs Columbus OH chapter and your membership must be paid in full for the entire season in order to register and participate in league play.
League play begins the last week of April unless noted otherwise. Rainouts are determined by the courses (generally) and will be communicated by the league captains.
The leagues’ captains may be putting together pairings for each week so that league members will have a chance to play with everyone. Please arrive at least 20 minutes before the first tee time and be ready to go out when your assigned group has gathered.
Important Note: Listed times may be slightly adjusted based on participation numbers but shouldn’t vary more than 15 minutes.
Remember to contact your league captain as far in advance as possible if you are not able to play in league. This will help the captain arrange pairings and give others who want to flex-in an opportunity to play. Also, please reach out to your captain if you will be late for your tee time so groups can be realigned if needed. CLICK HERE for the 2025 Captains and contact information (coming soon).
League fees are non-refundable once payment has been made to the courses, which is usually two weeks prior to start dates.

Flexible (Flex) Play… And What It Means to You
We are pleased to offer two Flexible Play Programs: League Flex Play for 9-hole league members and Paid Flex Play for non-league members.
League Flex Play
We are pleased to continue the “League Flex Play” as a benefit that provides the opportunity for those playing in 9-hole leagues to make-up a night that you were unable to play on your regularly scheduled league, OR play an extra round on another league night.
If you cannot play on your regular day/time, you can play on one of the other days in another 9-hole league – if there is an open spot – at no additional cost to you. If desiring to flex into a competitive league, you must meet the handicap criteria for that league.
If you are unable to play in your regularly scheduled league you must communicate that opening to your league captain so others can flex into your spot. If everyone registered for a particular night shows up when you are attempting to play a flex round, you will be unable to play. But if there is course availability, you can choose to stay and pay the green fees directly to the course.
League Flexing is a unique benefit to all of you who are paid members of a 9-hole league. Our goal is to have LPGA Amateur Golf Association tee times filled each week and provide a positive experience for league players.
Please contact the appropriate League Captain to find out whether there are any openings available for flexing. The sooner you contact the captain, the better. If nothing is available when you first inquire, you may ask to be put on a waitlist in case a spot opens up later. If you find that you will not be able to fill an opening, contact the captain as soon as possible to have your name removed from the list.
League Flexing is not intended to replace your scheduled league.
Paid Flex Play
We also offer a program for Columbus Chapter members who are not already part of a 9-hole league – The Multi-League Flex Card. We invite you to try out our fun 9-hole leagues.
The Multi-league Flex Card program offers you an opportunity to play in the eligible 9-hole leagues, after confirming that space is available for play that week. That includes the Airport, Safari, Tuesday Mentel, Wednesday After Work Mentel, Blacklick Competitive, and Blacklick Social. Note, if desiring to flex into a competitive league you must meet the handicap criteria for that league.
When you purchase your Multi-League Flex Card, you select the number of times you think you will flex throughout the season. The fee includes greens fees only, carts are not included except at Safari where carts are mandatory.
You will NOT be able to add additional plays later. Keep in mind, unused play does not carry over to the next season. The Multi-League Flex "Card" expires at the end of the Summer League season. After confirming availability with the League Captain, present your receipt as proof of payment. The captain will sign your receipt so the number of flex sessions can be tracked.
Flex play cards will go on sale May 6: coming soon
