SCGA History
The SCGA was founded July 27, 1899, joining five clubs in Southern California into an association. (Of those five, two remain today: Los Angeles Country Club and Redlands Country Club. Riverside Polo & Golf eventually became today's member, The Victoria Club). Today, the SCGA is one of the largest regional associations in the country, with more than 150,000 members in more than 1,200 course and affiliate member clubs.
