On behalf of the Green's Ladies Golf Club, Inc., the oldest African American women's golf club in the Delaware Valley, welcome! It only took eight courageous women to lay the foundation for The Green's Ladies Golf Club. Fortunately, in May 1954, they didn't wait for their turn; they took it. In 1955, the Green's Ladies hosted our first tournament and have never looked back. The Green's Ladies have always provided a platform for African-American women to have a place in the world of golf. Explore our online world, learn our history, and support us as we build a brighter future!
A Legacy Built In Sisterhood
Founded in 1954, The Green’s Ladies Golf Club has remained committed to excellence both on and off the golf course. What began as a vision shared by eight remarkable women has grown into a thriving organization dedicated to fellowship, leadership. community engagement, and preserving the legacy of African American women in golf.
Today, our members continue that tradition through competition, mentorship, service, and meaningful connections that extend far beyond the fairways.
