About Nomads Golf Club

The Nomads Golf Club was founded in 1957 and is the oldest non-affiliated club in Southern California. Our members live in San Diego, Orange and Riverside Counties. We meet every two weeks on Saturdays to enjoy friendly competitive rounds of tournament style golf. We typically play a total of twenty-six rounds of golf per year.
 
Nomad’s membership will usually range from 75 to 100 members during a year, with Saturday turnouts of 30 to 40 members and guests.
 
For our purposes, the name "NOMAD" has two meanings: 1) The Club is nomadic in that it travels from course to course during the year, and 2) The term "NO - MAD" encourages our members to conduct themselves in a manner that builds camaraderie and discourages any displays of anger towards fellow golfers, regardless of the situation. As a Nomads member or guest, the emphasis is on fair-play, integrity, good sportsmanship, and adherence to the accepted rules of golf.
 
Men and women of all playing levels are welcome to join our club. During our tournaments, women will most often play from the Forward tees and the men will play from either the Middle or Back tees.
 
If you wish to join our club please fill out the member application. We encourage prospective members to join us every other week as we play rounds in and around San Diego County. Contact us if you want to join us for one of these rounds.

Benefits to joining the club are:

• Establish a recognized, sanctioned handicap (SCGA) and have it updated monthly
• Enjoy 26 rounds of pre-scheduled golf a year at a variety of challenging courses throughout San Diego and surrounding areas (check out our schedule for more details)
• Receive FORE magazine (from SCGA membership)
• Become eligible for SCGA amateur events (city, county, state & national)
• Meet new friends/golf enthusiasts with similar interests

Our Guest Policy

The Nomads Golf Club enhances its membership by allowing guests to play with the Club so that they may have an opportunity to experience Nomads golf and determine their level of interest in joining the Club.

There are typically two ways in which guests get to play with the Nomads Golf Club: 1) Members in good standing may invite guests to play at a regular Nomads event, and 2) interested golfers learning of the Nomads Golf Club (e.g., via the Club web site) may contact a Club Officer directly, requesting the opportunity to play in a Nomads event. Please see our complete Guest Policy in our Bylaws section.
