Who is eligible to compete in GHIN Challenges?

Golfers must be registered and active in the GHIN app to participate in Challenges.

This feature is limited to golfers with a Handicap Index®, excluding Trial golfers, golfers with NH, and Inactive golfers.

If your GHIN account is currently inactive and you would like to participate in a GHIN Challenge, your options for renewal can be found below:

(1) You can join a traditional green-grass club in your area. To view clubs in your area, you can use this map. If you decide to join a traditional club, you will need to reach out to the club directly to be added to their Handicap Roster.

(2) You can join one of our Carolinas virtual eClubs. Our eClub membership is $45/year and lasts 365 days. You can join an eClub from our association website. You will need to select the eClub based on the county you live in. You will be prompted to answer if you have an existing GHIN number. The system will email you a 6-digit verification code and from there, you will follow the rest of the steps. You will be automatically activated once you successfully complete the process.
