The Golf Heritage Society

The Western Pennsylvania Golf Association is the steward of amateur golf in western Pennsylvania; an association of Member Clubs and their individual members working together for the good of the game. The Association was founded by five Pittsburgh clubs in 1899 and is one of the oldest amateur golf associations in the country. The Association's primary missions are Championship, Handicapping, and Membership Services. It also administers the WPGA Scholarship Fund to provide tuition assistance to employees of Member Clubs. Educational programs are offered every year to our growing membership in a variety of areas and formats. The affairs and property of the Association are directed by an Executive Committee composed of members from WPGA Member Clubs. It is supported by many volunteers. To conduct daily business, the Association employees a small full-time staff with offices in the Fox Chapel area just north of Pittsburgh.
