Member Clubs have their schedules of Tournaments which are annually submitted to the GGA Executive Committee to enable it to coordinate all Tournaments so that major Tournaments do not clash.
The Executive Committee are themselves mandated to organize the topmost Tournament on the Golfing calendar, the Ghana Amateur Open Golf Championship. The hosting of the Championship rotates amongst the affiliated member clubs and is an international Tournament open to all Clubs in the country and other Clubs outside the country, especially our sub-regional neighbours, and members affiliated to the World Body, R&A of St. Andrews.
Ghana Open Golf Championship
The Ghana Amateur Open Golf Championship is the flagship Tournament of the year with a long chorused history dating back to the 1920s. The first competition was organised in 1927, hosted by the Beach Course, which is now extinct. Records show that the Championship has been held annually since then, with a null during the war years 1942-1945.
There has been some improvement in Golf Facilities with the construction of 18 Hole Golf courses at Achimota, Tema, Kumasi and Damang. The Tournament, which is now held traditionally during the Easter Holiday, is rotated among the leading 18 Hole Golf Clubs in the country.
