Welcome to the WPGA Play Days Program

WPGA Play Days offer Association members the opportunity to explore WPGA Member Clubs with friends in a relaxed, enjoyable, and non-competitive environment. Members may bring a group of up to three guests to one of the events scheduled and meet other WPGA members. Our goal is to provide members of all skill levels the opportunity to enjoy a round of golf at another club for an enjoyable day.

At just $45 per player except where noted, WPGA Play Days are affordable. These events offer a no-pressure and fun golf atmosphere in which players can choose the time they would like to play and the teeing grounds they would like to play from. This is a great opportunity to entertain clients or get your regular group together to play a quality golf course at a great price.

Please note that the registration procedure has changed for 2018. Players must register online. We have switched to USGA Tournament Management for our tournament administration and registration this year. All participants will be required to create a new account. Please see this notice for more information and instructions. Participants will only be allowed to register after a new account has been created.  During registration, the names of guests and/or additional members will be entered. A GHIN number is not required for any guest.

Once registered in a WPGA Play Day, players will select a tee time by contacting the host club golf shop no sooner than two weeks in advance. Payment per player will be made the day of the scheduled round at the host club. Payment options include cash, check, or credit card. Please inquire with the host site upon arranging your tee time.

Grab a few of your golf buddies and get registered to enjoy some of the great clubs in our area. Entry fee includes 18 holes of golf, cart, and a sleeve of golf balls.

Please contact the WPGA office at (412) 826-2180 with any questions.
