2025 Wine and Nine Women Only Golf Series

Thursdays May 22, May 29, June 5, June 12, June 19, June 26

5:15 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.

Sunset Ridge Golf Links, Westbrook

Join us for 6 weeks of "League and Learn"! Under a new format, we'll separate into three groups: beginner, intermediate and advanced. For weeks 1-3, the beginner and intermediate groups will have a short lesson and then hit the course. The advanced group can choose to jump in for the lesson or hit the course right away! The last three weeks will be all about playing on the course with plenty of time to learn and apply those skills in real time on the greens. Cart and one beer/wine beverage included.

For the "final exam", we'll join everyone at the 18 or 9 Hole Golf Scramble on Tuesday, July 15 (included in Wine and Nine registration).

Thank you to our sponsors:
