General Info
Willows Men's Club plays at Willows Run Golf Course in Redmond, Washington.
We play monthly 18-hole weekend majors, a 9-hole Thursday Evening league, and two season-long match play tournaments. Competition is fun and friendly, with a small prize fund. We welcome all handicap ranges.
Come join us for our Thursday night series, our Match Play events or one of our Majors. All Willows Run Card holders eligible to be members. Check out the News and Announcements section for details!
Prizes: We typically pay out to 33% of players in an event (Match Play is 25% due to the way an elimination bracket works). Prize fund is redeemable as credit in the Willows Run Pro Shop. Credit is good through April of the following year after it is earned.

Purchasing a Willows Card does not automatically make you a member of the WMC Club - you have to send a request and we will add you to the list. See the How to Sign Up link below.
You will need a GHIN membership number to play in WMC events. If you have a GHIN through another course or service, just let us know. If you have not yet established a handicap index, that's fine - you can play until you get your three rounds (54 hole) minimum.
Guests are welcome to play in up to three rounds; after that we ask that you purchase a Willows Card. If you have any winnings in Pro Shop credit, you may need a Willows Card membership to collect.

Getting a GHIN (USGA Golf Handicap Index Network) Handicap
You will need a GHIN number to participate in WMC events.
For GHIN: You can contact the Willows Run Pro Shop to get a GHIN membership. GHIN is the USGA Golf Handicap Index Network.
Once you get your GHIN membership you need a minimum of three 18 hole rounds to establish a handicap. If you have the scores from rounds you’ve played within the past 12-18 months, you can post them to GHIN and it will give you a handicap 24 hours later. If you do have a scoring history, we encourage you to post as many scores as possible from the past 12 months as the more scores posted, the better the handicap estimate. Please don’t go beyond 18 months as the scores aren’t current.
If you don’t have any scores you can post, then you’ll play your first few rounds with a 0 handicap until we can establish your level of play.

Payout Schedule - When do I get my winnings in the Pro Shop?
Tournament Winnings are via credit in the Willows Run Pro Shop good for merchandise.
Notice: All credit in the Willows Run Pro Shop won thorough Willows Men's Club Events will expire on April 30 of the subsequent year.
Payouts are typically available for your use around the 20th of the month AFTER the month you won. For example, if you have winnings in June, they will be available around July 20th.
The reason it takes a few weeks is because we collect all the June winnings and submit all at once to the Pro Shop at the end of the month. It usually takes a few days for WMC to process and review the monthly results, and then another few days for the Pro Shop to post teh results to the Pro Shop credit system. Thank you for your understanding.
