Happy Golf Club - Bay Area

Playing relaxed rounds of golf with familiar and new faces who are all chill.  😎 No more anxiously wondering if the random people in your tee time will be cool!

How do we do this?

By creating a community of people who play happy golf.  To play happy, we…

Laugh. Because laughter is the best medicine for those inevitable not-so-great shots. We're not Tour pros!

Encourage. Because golf's mental game becomes easier with each word of support. Rumor has it that the golf gods reward kindness...

Celebrate. Because each shot is a chance for a small win, and every win deserves to be celebrated. It's just more fun!

Connect.  With each other during the round (vs. walking silently from shot to shot) and being open to the occasional snack and drink after the round.  As we get to know each other, it becomes so much easier to laugh together, encourage each other, and celebrate.

Join us if this sounds like your kind of golf.  We play a round on the fourth weekend of each month, rotating among courses in San Francisco.  From time to time, we also practice together at the Presidio.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. What skills levels are this group for?  Do I need a certain handicap to play?
A. This group is about happiness, not handicaps.  No matter your handicap, you are welcome.  If you want to ease into things with us, start with one of our Meetups at Fleming or Golden Gate, which are more forgiving courses.

Q. What if I am new to golf?
A. While we all love golf, none of us are golf teachers.  We’d hate to tell you the wrong things!  Consider the beginning golf class at the City College of SF to get started the right way.

Q. The next event is full. Should I sign up for the waitlist?
A. Absolutely! In almost every Meetup, a couple people have had to cancel, and spots opened up.

Q. How does the waitlist work?
A. Four days before the round, I ask everyone who RSVPed to confirm they are still interested in coming.  If someone doesn't confirm by 9am two days before the round, then I open up their spot.  That’s also when I change the booking to release any unneeded spots.

Q. When should I show up?
A. Thirty minutes before the first tee time of the meetup.  We have found that it takes us about 15 minutes to check in, and another 15 to get organized into groups and make it to the first tee without feeling rushed.

Q. I want to organize an event. How do I get started?
A. If you're an annual member, you can use this Meetup account to organize an event and invite other Happy Golfers! You'll receive technical and organizing support from us! Details on annual membership HERE.
