About Girls in Golf Society CIC
About GIGS: Where Golf meets friendship
Founded in 2006, GIGS has grown from a passionate group of golfers into a vibrant and inclusive community of women who share a love for the sport. Affectionately known as GIGS, our society creates a space for LGBTQ+ women and lesbian golfers to come together, connect, and play golf in a relaxed, safe, and supportive environment.
In April 2022, GIGS became a Small Community Interest Company (CIC), continuing its mission to offer a space where friendships are made, confidence is built, and players—no matter their skill level—feel empowered to enjoy the game. The best part? We’re all about fun, socialising, and creating lasting connections on and off the green.

At GIGS, we believe that golf should be accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Whether you're picking up a club for the first time or you've been playing for years, you'll find a welcoming space here.
For Beginners: Don’t worry if you’re new to golf—we’re all about supporting each other! Join us for informal driving range visits where you can learn at your own pace. You’ll find plenty of people ready to share tips, tricks, and encouragement.
For Regular Players: If you’re already comfortable with the game, GIGS offers social 9- and 18-hole games. Come along for some lighthearted competition, or simply enjoy a round with new friends who share your passion for golf.
For Casual Golfers: If you just like to play occasionally and want to have some fun, we host Twilight Golf sessions during the summer, so you can unwind and enjoy a round at the end of the day.
We offer something for everyone, regardless of how serious or casual you are about the game. GIGS is all about enjoying golf in a social, low-pressure environment.

Participate in monthly events at carefully selected courses and driving ranges. Our full 18-hole events typically include your green fee, lunch/supper, and prizes. We use the Stableford scoring system to keep things fair and fun for all skill levels. It’s the perfect way to enjoy a competitive yet relaxed day out on the course!

Improve your health and social wellbeing by joining us for a variety of social meet-ups. From Summer 9-hole and Twilight Golf sessions to relaxed Driving Range meet-ups, these events are designed to be fun and low-pressure, giving you the chance to improve your game while enjoying the company of others.

One of the perks of playing as part of a group is that we’re able to secure special group rates at golf courses. When a minimum of 8-12 golfers sign up for an event, we can access discounted rates for green fees. Please note, non-refundable deposits are required to secure these tee-times.
-
Join our private GIGS Facebook group where members can chat, share tips, and organize meet-ups. It’s the perfect space to stay connected with fellow golfers and share your experiences both on and off the course. Plus you’ll be invited into our GIGS WhatsApp Group to keep up-to-date with all our events.
Get Involved—We’re always looking for volunteers!
GIGS is run entirely by volunteers, and we’re always looking for more passionate people to help us grow and make our community even better. If you're interested in lending a hand—whether in organizing events or helping with social media—let us know. Your involvement will help us continue to create an inclusive and supportive environment for LGBTQ+ women and their allies.
