Annual Meeting

The member-only ASGCA Annual Meeting has been held since 1947 and is cited by many ASGCA members as one of the most important benefits of membership. The meeting site is selected with one important criterion first: the proximity of great golf. From Shinnecock Hills to Pebble Beach, ASGCA members play the best new and classic courses that North America and — every fifth year, Scotland and Ireland — have to offer.

Between golf, ASGCA members attend business meetings and educational sessions. They also gather for the annual presentation of the Donald Ross Award, ASGCA’s highest honor, given annually to an individual who has made significant and lasting contributions to the profession of golf course architecture. First awarded in 1976 to golf architecture pioneer Robert Trent Jones, the honor continues to this day as one of the most prestigious in golf.

The camaraderie and fellowship among members is special; few professions have a gathering of direct competitors where those in attendance set aside business differences so completely and enjoy each other’s company so thoroughly.
