The CDGA isn't just about the game of golf. It's about the people who play it, the dreams it fuels and the friendships it forges. For more than 110 years, the CDGA has united golfers across the Chicago District, proving that together we're Better Through Golf.
In total, the CDGA conducted 10 championships and a wide array of Social Competitions in 2025. Also, for the second year, the CDGA administered the Chicago Adaptive Open, the world's best golfers with physical and intellectual disabilities competed.
