Connecticut’s Flexible Golf League! Think you have no time for a golf league? Think again!  

Looking for a golf league that fits your busy schedule? The North Central Connecticut Golf League (NCCGL) at Copper Hill emphasizes flexibility, allowing you and your partner to choose the days that work best for you – Wednesdays, Sundays, or a combination of both!

This two-person, 15-week match-play league runs from late April to early September, culminating in exciting playoffs. Simply submit your preferred playing days to Copper Hill, and we’ll match you with other teams with similar availability.

How the League Works:

The NCCGL is a 2-man match-play league where you’ll play 16 matches throughout the season. Before the season begins, you and your partner decide if you are primarily “Wednesday Players,” “Sunday Players,” or available “Both” days. The league administrator then creates the schedule, matching teams with compatible availability. You’ll have a chance to review the schedule and make minor adjustments before the season kicks off!

What Makes the NCCGL So Flexible?

• You Control Your Schedule: Choose the days of the week (Wednesday or Sunday) and the general time of day that suits you best.

•Mid-Season Flexibility: The match schedule is split into two halves (April-June and July-September), allowing for potential adjustments to your availability as the season progresses.

• Mid-Season Break & Fun: Enjoy a break during the 4th of July week, and look forward to a mid-season scramble or other fun event to mix things up.

•Robust Substitute List: Finding a sub is easy! You can arrange substitutes yourself or with assistance from the pro shop as needed.

Ready to Join? Here’s What You Need to Know:

Find a Partner: You’ll need a partner with a compatible schedule (Wednesday or Sunday availability). Singles are welcome to sign up, and we’ll do our best to pair you.

Communicate Availability: Let us know if there are any specific days you absolutely cannot play.
League Fees:

$65 per player covers administration costs, league website software, and your 2025 GHIN handicap. This is due by the first week of play.
$75 per player goes towards the prize payout at the end of the season. This is due by the second week of play.

Stay Connected: We’ll need your email address and cell phone number for communication. Joining our closed Facebook group is also highly recommended for updates and camaraderie.

Match Format:

Regular season matches are 9-hole, two-person Fourball (best ball of partners).

Round Payouts:

A $5 optional tournament entry fee will be collected each official round. Payouts for these rounds will be accumulated and awarded as cash at the end of each of the two season halves. All players must provide an email address for communication of results.

Scoring System:

Each 2 vs 2 match awards 3 points:

1 point for the individual match between Player A from each team.
1 point for the individual match between Player B from each team.
1 point for the team match (best ball of A & B vs. best ball of other A & B).
All matches are played with 85% of your handicap.
How to Win the League:

Approximately the top 2/3 of teams will qualify for the playoffs after the 16-week regular season, seeded based on their record. The playoffs will be structured like a bracket (e.g., #1 vs. #16, #2 vs. #15) with match-play rounds to determine the league champion.

Potential Winnings:

The total prize money depends on the number of participating teams and completed matches. For each match, the four participating players contribute $5 each to the end-of-year payout.

Handicaps:

Full members must have a WHS Handicap or submit 3 scores to the pro shop before the first day of play.
Players will receive 85% of their handicap in league matches.
Full members or subs without a handicap will play with 0 shots in the first round.
In the second and third rounds, full members or subs without a full handicap will receive 80% of their average score over par based on their submitted scores.
After submitting three 18-hole scores, the World Handicap System (WHS) will assign a handicap.
Course handicaps (not index handicaps) are used for league play.
Playoffs Structure:

Following the 16 regular season rounds, the top approximately 2/3 of teams will advance to the playoffs. The seeding will be based on regular-season standings, and the playoffs will follow a bracket format (similar to the NCAA tournament) with match play to determine the league champion.

Tees Played (“Rule of 85”):

Following the lead of the CT Section PGA, players may use the forward (gold) tees if their age plus their handicap is 85 or greater. All other players will play from the white tees. There is no handicap adjustment for choosing the blue tees.

The first tee at Copper Hill will be available between 5:30 and 6 pm for anybody who wants to try it out – play 2 holes, 5 holes, or as many as you can.
