Welcome to The NAPGC

The National Association of Public and Proprietary Golf Clubs

Dedicated to providing competitions for all abilities & ages

In 1927, five times Open Champion John Henry Taylor and the renowned course architect FG Hawtree formed the NAPGC. Both were men of vision who believed the new association would bring about cohesion between “public” and “private” golf. 

Around 100 years on the philosophy remains unchanged and the Association has adapted to the many changes that have evolved in the organisation and management of “public course golf”. The focus of the Association is very much on providing competitive golf opportunities for Men, Women and Juniors of all ages and handicaps. 

In the recent past the Association was renamed to the ‘National Association of Public and Proprietary Golf Clubs and Course’ recognising the large number of golf courses owned by individuals or companies but nevertheless open to the General Public. The NAPGC welcomes new clubs in the hope that the Association will continue to grow as a truly national organisation representing public course golf and its golfers.
