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.
