GATEWAY TO GOLF

SAVE THE DATE: MONDAY SEPTEMBER 9, 2024 @ TRANSIT VALLEY COUNTRY CLUB

They say deals are made on the golf course, and Women United wanted to make sure that the women in our community were a part of them! Those who were already experienced with the game spent their day out on the green honing their skills, while those new to the game spent the day learning how to chip, drive, putt and more from the resident golf pros at Transit Valley. Afterward, everyone gathered for lunch to network and share their experiences from the day. Check out all the photos from past events here.

Be among the first to know when Gateway to Golf Registration opens.
