Connecting Arizona Through Golf
About AZ GOLF
About Us
The Arizona Golf Association (now AZ GOLF), was founded in 1923 and works as not-for-profit 501(c)(4) association that serves as the official governing body of amateur golf in Arizona, supporting over 106,000 members and acting as a regional extension of the USGA.
We’ve been hard at work to expand golf's reach in support of our mission statement of Engaging the Arizona Community Through the Game of Golf, serving as a connector to make the sport more welcoming to all styles of play, experience and interest levels.
With an eye on the future of golf in Arizona, the Association continues Celebrating, Inspiring and Redefining the AZ GOLF Lifestyle and providing access to the largest golf community in the state.
Responsibilities
The AZ GOLF is the official governing body of amateur golf in Arizona and is passionate about protecting the game – its appeal, traditions and history. However, we also understand the changing face of the golf population and are continually looking for ways to grow the game, to reach out to our membership and to create opportunities for new golfers to join the AZ GOLF family.
Governance
AZ GOLF is a membership-based organization. There are two tiers to the volunteer governance of the Arizona Golf Association:
A 11-member Executive Committee governs the Arizona Golf Association. It oversees the long-term direction of the Association. Each member of the Executive Committee is either a chairman or vice-chairman of the association’s standing committees. AZ GOLF’s Executive Director is an ex-officio member of this committee.
