Ladies wishing to play in matches can sign up online, on the team sheets in the ladies locker room or by contacting the appropriate team organisers.

COUNTY LEAGUE

Harborne Ladies play each year in the Warwickshire County League. The League is divided into four divisions which are drawn every two years at the County Dinner at Copt Heath. The first year draw specifically states which is to be the home side for that year. We play the same clubs in the second year and the venues are reversed.We usually play five matches in our respective divisions and the winners of each division are then through to the semi-finals and subsequently the final.Although the leagues are only drawn every two years there is a winner each year.The team consists of seven players.

The County League matches are always midweek.Ladies with handicaps 24 and below are encouraged to sign up, either on the list on the noticeboard in the Ladies' Locker Room.

INTER TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP

This event takes place each year at a different club within the county on the first Monday in September. Each team consists of five players who play 18 holes Medal format. There are two trophies - one for best gross score and one for best team nett score. The team is selected from those ladies who have played in the Country League during the season.

COUNTY NINE HOLE LEAGUE

The Inter Club Nine Hole League is open to teams of lady golfers from clubs affiliated to WLCGA, and was introduced by WLCGA as a way to encourage Lady Golfers to play in inter Club matches, during evenings and weekends

Each team is made up of six players, and the format is a Fourball Betterball match play, with 2 points for a win, and 1 point for a half. As the matches take place over 9 holes only, players are swiftly out the starting blocks!

Clubs compete in two Groups. The current Handicap Limit for players is 36.
Harborne Golf Club have entered a team in the Nine Hole League since 2014, and have enjoyed great support from all Lady Members and the Club.

Harborne Golf Club won their group in 2018, bringing the total to a remarkable 4 wins out of 5, since we started playing in the Nine Hole League in 2014. Congratulations to all Ladies who played in the Nine Hole League! We look forward to welcoming new Lady Members to the League.
