The organization is the oldest women’s golf club in America. Founded in 1937 by thirteen innovative and committed Black women who were instrumental in the desegregation of golf courses in Washington, D.C. and the opening of the renowned Langston Golf Course. Members today are proud to have nurtured and grown their vision into a reality — making a difference by leading, advocating, advancing, strengthening and promoting the game of golf for women.
