For some activities, sign-up is limited to once a month:

  • When players can, we gather after rounds for a club refreshment and on the days when we play a game, toast the winners.
  • We welcome women of all golfing abilities – don’t have a handicap index? No problem, join us and we’ll help you establish one.
  • We have many women that walk, more that ride and those that play from various tee boxes.
  • We play a round in 4 hours, the standard Landings Club time.
  • Landings Club Golf membership required.
  • For questions and to sign up for play, please email nnladies18golf@gmail.com
