MEN’S GOLF ASSOCIATION
- The Sunrise Country Club Men’s Golf Association (MGA) was formed in the mid 1980’s to:
- Stimulate an interest in golf at Sunrise Country Club by bringing together a group of men desirous of participating in a golfing organization.
- Promote and foster among its members a closer bond and fraternity for their joint and mutual interest and enjoyment.
- Enforce uniformity to the rules of golf by creating a representative authority.
- Maintain a uniform system of handicapping as set forth in the regulations of the Southern California Golf Association.
- Afford a convenient and authoritative body to govern MGA activities held at the Sunrise Country Club.
The MGA currently has over 145 members who participate in weekly MGA play each Wednesday throughout the year and Saturday breakfast play on a monthly basis, Member/Member, Member/Guest Tournaments, Interclub matches and annual events such as the President’s Cup and Men’s Club Championship, all of which are held from November to April.
The Association has a Board of Directors who meet on a monthly basis from November to April and general membership meetings are also held on a monthly basis. The Association also has a representative on the Country Club’s Golf Committee.
A voluntary Hole in One program has also been established. The program is self-funded and provides recognition to those members who make a hole in one and entitles other participating members to a refreshment of their choosing.
The format of play on Wednesday of each week is a mixer providing a great opportunity to meet other members and make new friends.
LADIES’ GOLF ASSOCIATION
Our Sunrise Country Club Ladies Golf Association (SCCLGA) is your headquarters for fun. It is the perfect way to enjoy golf and meet new friends. Our Tuesday play days are held weekly from November through June. Each month includes a variety of group games, invitational tournaments, and individual challenges for golfers of all skill levels. Membership in the SCCLGA is open to all Sunrise golf members for a nominal annual membership fee that goes toward supporting the activities of the SCCLGA.
If you enjoy competition, our annual match play President’s Cup and stroke play Club Championship provide an opportunity to challenge yourself on a one-on-one basis. Opportunities are also available for participation in WSCGA tournament play and Desert Executive Course Team Play.
Member/Guest Days in December, February, and March delight golfers with themed tournaments and games that delight and amuse members and their guests. Saturday breakfast and golf scrambles offer even more possibilities for mixing and mingling.
A solid leadership team directs SCCLGA activities and encourages members to participate in a variety of ways through committee opportunities and by assuming leadership positions on the board. Beyond steering the golf related activities, the leadership board guides our ladies club in the promotion and generous support of local charities. Additionally, through a monthly newsletter, we inform members and keep them updated on current and future activities, display pictorial essays, feature membership articles, and offer golf tips from our professional golf staff.
Our active golf season runs from November through April, with a mini-season from May through June available for those who reside in the desert yearlong. There is no better place than Sunrise Country Club to enjoy all aspects of golf within the confines of a friendly, caring community. Please join us on Tuesday mornings for fun, fellowship, and friendship.
