Golf Associations at Carolina National

When you play Carolina National, you get to enjoy a beautiful 27 holes designed by 1992 Masters Champion Fred Couples. When you become a member, you also get to enjoy the competitive fun and camaraderie of dozens of member events held throughout the year. The club holds an annual Club Championship, Member-Member and Member-Guest etc., but the majority of the regular member events and activities come from the Winding River Men’s & Women’s Golf Associations. These groups are the backbone of member play at Carolina National and participation is an exclusive privilege of CNGC membership. Events range from competitive to casual, from team shambles to interclub matches. Throughout the year at Carolina National, the men’s and women’s associations will host numerous playing and social opportunities for association members. These events often include a morning shotgun start with varied formats and an awards luncheon after the round. See below for more details on each group.

Men's Golf Association

The MGA has been a long-standing fixture at Carolina National, having been established shortly after the Club opened in 1998. The MGA has been instrumental over the years in providing numerous playing and social activities for members and generating camaraderie with fellow members. As a member of the MGA, you will have access to preferred tee times on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. These times include opportunities for both individual sign-ups and foursomes to register. You will also have access to preferred tee times for the regular Fun Day held each Wednesday for team events. Additionally, the MGA sponsors at least one tournament event per month between March and November for the entire membership to participate in. These events include our Opening Day Tournament, Battle of the Neighborhoods, the MGA Ryder Cup, Four Ball Tournament, and the Members Memorial Match Play Tournament. At least three additional events per year are called Super Fun Days where the entire membership field is grouped together into teams with different game formats. We also sponsor interclub play that offers MGA members an opportunity to participate in team event tournaments against surrounding golf clubs. Click here for the WRMGA informational brochure. Carolina National GC membership is required to join the MGA with an established USGA Handicap required for competitive events.
