This tax-exempt association delivers a wide range of golf, social and networking activities for both new and experienced golfers.
A 2008 survey of EWGA members conducted by the PGA of America found that the average EWGA member plays 32 rounds per year.

With over 125 chapters throughout the United States, as well as international chapters in Canada, the EWGA represents nearly $75 million to the golf industry.
A survey of former EWGA members found that 84% of these women continued to play golf. While the former EWGA member survey did not include golf-related travel, this group’s golf spending accounted for an additional $98 million, totaling over $173 million and 1.7 million rounds of golf per year.
