The Ely Golf Club Couples League plays on Friday nights at 4:00 pm. The League has been around for a number of years. The main goal is to enjoy a fun round of golf with your partner and enjoy the company of other couples. Traditionally we gather after golf for an optional light meal in the clubhouse or occasional gather for dinner at a local restaurant. Couples golf is a fun league, composed of all skill level players and friendly competition.
The Ely Golf Club Couples League is comprised of couples who play each week against other couples. There is no commitment to play every week.
The format is a Scotchball. Play begins with a shotgun start. Each couple plays an alternative shot game to complete the score for a hole. Both players hit their drives and the preferred shot is selected. The person who did not hit the preferred drive hits the second shot with alternating shots until the putt is sunk.
Tee Time is 4:00 pm each Friday from Memorial Day through Labor Day. (No play July 4th and July 25, 2025) Informal play usually begins in mid-May until early October. Couples must register in the club house PRIOR to 3:45 p.m. for pairings. Pairings are determined based upon who shows up for the date-typically two couples per tee box. Handicaps are established after two or three weeks. Low net scores are used to determine the best scores of the week-but the social aspect of the league is most important. Other recognition goes to longest putt on green number three, closest the pin on green four-male & female, and and birdies on any hole.
A schedule of meal planning or service will be planned well in advanced. Meal fees are $10 per person if provided by the couplese league. After the meal, we often host a raffle for various items brought in by league members-details provided each week. During the social period, we also recognize birthdays, anniversaries, family events, and other fun information. Proceeds beyond costs have provided significant funding to the Golf Club.
Dues are $30 per couple.
We invite new couples to come and try playing with us. The clubhouse can put potential new members in touch with the league’s organizers other wise email Kurt. knsoderberg@yahoo.com.
