  • The 2026 Season runs from March through September.

    Regular Season Events are held March through August on the second Saturday of each month, subject to course availability.

  • To maintain competitive balance across a wide range of skill levels:

    • Playing handicaps will be calculated at 80% of a player’s established handicap

    • Maximum playing handicap for league competition is 30

    Preferred: Active USGA / GHIN handicap

    If You Played in the Pilot Season: Your best two pilot season rounds will be used to establish your starting handicap.

    If You Are New and Do Not Have a GHIN: Please submit scores from your last three rounds.
    A working handicap will be established and may be refined during the season.

    The league reserves the right to adjust handicaps if scoring patterns indicate modification is necessary to maintain fairness.

  • Players are responsible for:

    • Maintaining pace of play

    • Keeping accurate score

    • Following course rules

    • Demonstrating sportsmanship

    Second Saturday Golf Club operates on the honor system and values integrity and respect.

  • Each event requires individual registration.

    • A registration deadline will be announced prior to each event

    • Registration is complete only once payment is received in full

    • Spots are subject to course availability

    • If you do not register before the deadline, a spot cannot be guaranteed

  • Because group bookings require advance commitment to the host course:

    • Once the registration deadline passes, refunds are not guaranteed

    • If you need to cancel after the deadline, you are responsible for finding a replacement player

    • If a replacement is secured, payment may be transferred

    Once commitments are made to the course, the league is financially responsible for the reserved spots.

    Thank you for understanding.
