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.
The score posting season within the Chicago District has officially come to a close for the 2025 calendar year. Thank you to our 119,000+ CDGA members and 420 member clubs for yet another successful season that featured more than 2.8 million rounds posted.
