Here’s how it works.

• You can join any, or all the Leagues.  
• Read below to get an overview of each of the courses. If a particular League interests you, and you first want more information, feel free to reach out to the League coordinator (using the email shown above) to obtain more details.
• Once you register for the League, you will be added to the League participant list. Our Leagues are super popular, so please note that being on the list does not automatically secure you a spot on the tee sheet.
• In advance of the upcoming weekly outing, you will receive an email from the League coordinator asking you to respond by clicking “Playing” or “Not Playing”. It’s important to understand that given our Leagues are playing on public courses, we cannot guarantee that the number of tee-times will be consistent from one week to the next.  So, if you are keen and committed to play, be sure to respond “Playing” quickly.
• A few days before the day of play, your League coordinator will send the tee sheet along with other details such as directions, arrival times, access to practice facilities, washroom access, etc. 

How do I pay?

This is a flexible “pay-as-you-play” model.  For all our Leagues, you pay for your round when you check into the proshop.

What if I have to cancel?

We understand that life happens. If you must cancel due to health-related or urgent issues, please contact your League coordinator as soon as possible so she can fill the spot from the waitlist. However, we greatly appreciate that participants do their best to avoid last-minute cancellations as we want to ensure the golf courses view our Association as a reliable and valued customer.

Important Considerations

It’s exciting to see a growing resurgence in the game of golf and nowhere is that more evident than on public courses within the GTA. To accommodate the demand, golf courses are strengthening their oversight of Pace-of-Play.  Most courses inform players that an 18-hole round should be completed anywhere between 4 hours 20 minutes to 4.5 hours. Whether it’s League play or during our Events, we ask all our players to be mindful of keeping up the pace – pick up and move on if you are falling behind the group ahead.

Golfing is a privilege we all share. Diversity, equity and inclusion are at the heart of who we are and what we do. Let's do our part to ensure a positive and welcoming experience for everyone and keep our golf outings a space where we focus on what brings us together - good company, shared interests, and a love for the game. 

How do I sign up?

Registration will open on March 7^th. Just click on this link  Event Portal to register.

Granite Ridge Golf Club

Located on the beautiful Niagara Escarpment in Milton, ON, Granite Ridge Golf Club offers 2 challenging 18-hole layouts “Ruby” and “Cobalt”. Each course will challenge both the experienced and beginner golfer – try your hand with strategically placed hazards including water holes and out-of-bounds areas. Our Wednesday League tee times are mid-morning, shifting from week to week between the courses.  2026 rates have not been posted yet – please check the course website.

Don Valley Golf Course

Join this League on Thursdays at this hidden gem in the heart of Toronto, where you will enjoy playing a variety of holes though wooded areas and meadows. Don't let the stunning views distract your focus! The 18-hole League has mid-morning tee times and the 9-hole League tee-times start at 5:00 p.m. Please note, if you are keen to play in both the 9 and 18 Hole Leagues, you must register for both Leagues. Check the  course website  for 2026 green fees.

Lakeview Golf Course

Described as one of southern Ontario’s “hidden gems”, Mississauga’s Lakeview is a beautiful parkland-style course layout, featuring large sloping greens with subtle breaks that offer incredible challenges and fun. This Sunday League offers morning and afternoon tee times.

As the City of Mississauga does not allow us a guaranteed tee block, tee times are booked on a weekly basis - in our case on Sunday evening for the following Sunday. Online bookings are available to residents of Mississauga one hour before the general public - Sunday 8:00 pm.  This is a super popular course. Tee times are grabbed quickly and therefore, it’s important we have participant volunteers who live in Mississauga to help secure spots. If you can assist, please indicate that when you register for the League or contact the  League Coordinator directly (note also, Mississauga residents need to register with the Pro shop by showing proof of residency, so they can ensure your login allows you to book at 8:00 pm.  Also, if you are a resident of Mississauga and you book a tee time, the course requires that you must play on the day you book. You don’t necessarily have to play at the time you booked but sometime during the day).  Check the course website for 2026 green fee rates.

Pickering Glen Golf Club

Here’s a chance to enjoy a traditional parkland-style challenge. This 18-hole course offers a diverse collection of holes, outstanding scenery, white sand bunkers, and some of the best manicured greens in the area.  The course is in the vicinity of Hwy 407 and York Durham Line - a mere 15-minute drive from Yonge and 407.  Join this League on Sunday mornings with tee times usually between 9:00 and 10:00 am and enjoy some fun contests and prizes. Check the course website for 2026 rates.

Weekday Travelling League

Do you relate to “variety is the spice of life?” This League is for you! Here, members will explore a variety of courses in and around the GTA on weekdays...a great way to play different courses with a fun group of women. It’s super flexible. You pick and choose which dates, and which courses you’d like to play, or play them all. Tee times are usually scheduled to start mid-morning after 10:00 am. The League coordinators also plan to organize fun contests with prizes, “invite a friend” games, and 19th hole get-togethers on occasion. Come out to expand your weekday golfing options, meet some new and not-so-new friends, and have fun with the Travelling League!

Below are the proposed courses for the 2026 Season. NOTE: if we need to change the golf course due to tournaments or other factors beyond our control, we will endeavour to keep the date the same so you can plan your week! Our Chapter website will always have the most current information. If you have questions, please email   travellingleague@lpgaamateursgta.ca .

What is Match Play?

In stroke play format every shot counts and the player with the lowest score wins the match. But in Match Play, a player (or players) plays directly against an opponent (or opponents) in a head-to-head match. You win a hole by completing it in the fewest number of strokes, and you win a match when you are winning by more holes than remain to be played. Many a match is won or lost by just a single putt.  It’s impossible to predict the outcome of a Match Play Tournament since the playing field is equalized by using handicaps. This format is a fun way to compete since one “blow-up hole” doesn’t mean you’re out of the match! Are you up for some fun competitive play? Think about giving Match Play a try.

How does it Work?

To join this League, you must meet these prerequisites:

• Have an active membership in the LPGA Amateurs - Greater Toronto Area (GTA) Chapter
• Maintain a current Handicap Factor through Golf Canada
• Be registered in at least one of our GTA Weekly Leagues

The Format

Our goal is to make playing in the Match Play League as convenient as possible by establishing playing “pods” in each of the following Weekly Leagues: Don Valley, Granite Ridge, Lakeview, Pickering Glen. The final number of players in each pod will depend on who registers - hopefully there will be at least 4 in each pod. Players in each pod will participate in round robin format where everyone plays each other once. Winners of each pod will move forward to playoff rounds. Players arrange their own Match play dates. If both players agree, first round Matches could be played within the Travelling League schedule. 

In the first playoff round, the 4 pod winners will be grouped into 2 groups - approximately representing the East and West with semi-finalist courses to be determined.

The winner of the East Pod will play winner of the West Pod for the championship!

All players must adhere to the following:

• When you register, please indicate which League is your first choice (a second choice will be asked and only used if there is an extreme imbalance in the pods and only with your consent)
• Prior to the start of Match Play, participate in an on-line information session for review of the Rules
• First Round Matches must be played during one of the 5 GTA Leagues. (*Exception - play may be booked outside of League time on your League course if both players agree. This is encouraged to avoid forfeiture)
• Please check the schedule of play of your chosen League(s) so you know of your date and time commitments (forfeited Matches are not fun for your opponent!)
• Arrange and play your Matches before the specified deadlines - inability of a player to arrange or play a scheduled Match before the deadline may result in forfeiture of the Match.
• Notify your League Coordinator a week in advance when a Match will be played so they can put you in the same foursome
• Submit a photo of the Match score card results, signed by both players, to the Match Play League  Coordinator.
