Golf Programs
MacGregor Downs has golf experiences for men and women, juniors, and seniors.
MGA—Men's Golf Association
The Men’s Golf Association is open to all male golf members and provides an additional level of competition throughout the golf season. Competitions with varying formats are regularly scheduled and Pro Shop credits are awarded to the winners. The MGA awards a Player of the Year at the conclusion of golf season.
SMGA—Senior Men's Golf Association
The Senior Men’s Golf Association is available for all male golf members who are at least 50 years old. The Senior Men’s Golf Association participates in the Capital Area Senior Men’s Golf Association (CASMGA) and in interclub events with other clubs in the Five-County Senior Men’s Golf Association. In addition, there are season-long handicap improvement competitions, as well as a Senior Club Championship and Senior Tartan Tournament.
LGA—Ladies Golf Association
The Ladies Golf Association is a great opportunity for all female golf members to get together for events, both competitive and social. Ladies can play in 9- or 18-hole groups, depending on their skill and interest levels. Various events throughout the season include shotgun tournaments, clinics, member-guest events, as well as interclubs. Prizes awarded at the end of the season include Player of the Year, Most Improved, and more.
Junior Golf Programs
Family-friendly MacGregor Downs offers year-round junior golf programs and lessons for children of all ages and skill levels. Whether it's group clinics, private lessons, or camps, our golf professionals are available to help younger golfers learn the necessary skills to become great players. We also offer PGA Junior League and Club championships for younger members who are ready to compete, as well as Parent-Child events to encourage the family to play together.
Operation 36 Junior Golf Academy

Operation 36 Beginner Ladies Academy
In the Spring of 2021, after years of success with the Operation 36 Junior Academy, a Beginner Ladies Academy was started. The problem with most instructional programs is they don't cater to beginners and take them from newbie to playing their first round of 9 holes. The Ladies Academy does a great job of delivering instruction in weekly classes and then experiencing the golf course in 9-hole events run right here at the club. Learn alongside other members who want to learn the game, make friends and progress in their skill level.
