League deposits are non-refundable.

No refunds for cancellations will be given once the league numbers have been guaranteed to the golf course. Please contact the respective site captain for more information.

Site Captains will normally determine pairings for league play.

League players will not receive a refund for the sessions that they do not attend. If a substitute is found, the substitute should pay the league player directly. The fee is the average cost of the session.

Site Captains are not responsible for collecting green fees from substituting players.

A non-member may play in a league ONLY ONCE in a season as a guest. This includes substitutes, even if they are playing for another member and reimbursing the green fees. Further league participation requires membership in EWGA.
