Who can join?
Membership in the Men’s Niners is available to all male residents, renters, or lot owners of SaddleBrooke One and SaddleBrooke TWO for the 2024 golf season. Men’s Niners will enjoy membership in the Arizona Golf Association (AGA), having a current and up-to-date golf index and required handicap to golf competitively in Men’s Niners events and other golf events outside the league. Men’s Niners utilize the Golf Genius app for tournament sign-ups, tee sheets, scoring, and payout calculations.
The Men’s Niners play golf on Wednesday mornings and play nine holes with different members each week. League play occurs on one of SaddleBrooke’s three nine-hole courses. A $5 individual tournament prize purse fee is charged to each player’s SaddleBrooke One house account. Weekly flight winners to several places are paid out in Pro Shop credit. Full annual and preferred members receive “no tee time Chelsea points when playing in League Events.” During the season, the Men’s Niners host and participate in events with other nine-hole golf associations in the area. The 2024 league tournament season starts on Wednesday, Nov. 1, 2023, and the members are eager to meet new faces.
How much are the membership dues?
Annual league membership dues are $85 and include the dues for AGA. The membership period runs from Nov. 1, 2023, to Dec. 15, 2024. The New Member Information Letter explains how to make the dues payment. Renewal memberships should be completed with your credit card online at AZGolf.org before Dec. 15, 2023. (the AGA online renewal process can begin Oct. 2 at noon using your credit card.) The membership fee is reduced for new members joining after June 1, 2024, to $65.
