Almaden was a member of the WGANC (Women’s Golf Association of Northern California) which recently rolled under the umbrella and administration of the NCGA. The Open Days and Tournaments put on by the WGANC continue and are now know as NCGA WGANC-Legacy events. Almaden 18 Hole Woman golfer can participate in these events, and once every two years, Almaden reciprocally hosts either an Open Day or a Tournament for other WGANC-Legacy clubs.

The big benefit of enrolling in these events is that you get to play at premier courses in Norther California and not pay a green fee, only the cost of food and a cart. To take advantage of these great woman only golf events, see these NCGA pages.
