Shennecossett Women's Golf Association (SWGA)

SWGA 2025 Season!

Shennecossett Women’s Golf Association (SWGA) is an active league of approximately 60 members who play to both enjoy and compete in the game of golf. SWGA is one of the most welcoming and active women’s leagues in eastern Connecticut and western Rhode Island.

Tuesday is Ladies Day!

Each week ladies compete in a different fun game. On Tuesdays there is a shotgun tee time for 18-hole players at 8:00 a.m. Those who wish to play only 9 holes begin at 10:00 a.m.

Any member may sign up each week to play either 18 or 9 holes.  Members who work or have a conflict on Tuesdays may choose to compete in the weekly game for either 18 or 9 holes on the weekend before, as long as they play with another league member. These players schedule a weekend tee them on their own. The season officially begins this year on Tuesday, May 6. 2025 .Opening Day is Saturday, May 17, 2025 with a 1 p.m. fun scramble followed by dinner.

There are three membership options available for the 2025 season. Find here the 2025 SWGA Membership application.
