GHIN Challenges
A new and exciting competition format has launched in Western Pennsylvania this summer!
GHIN Challenges offer WPGA Members the chance to compete in a rotating series of net competitions at participating WPGA Member Clubs.
Play when it fits your schedule, track your progress on the leaderboard, and compete for your share of pro shop credit. Prizes will be awarded to the Top 3 finishers in each Challenge.
From June 1st to September 1st, golfers with an active WPGA membership can post scores at a participating club and join that venue's challenge through the GHIN app. Your best three 18-hole scores will count towards the challenge leaderboard. Prizes will be awarded to the Top 3 finishers in each challenge.
Open to both male and female WPGA Members. Not a WPGA Member yet? Join today and get in the game!

How can I join a GHIN Challenge?
Golfers can join a Challenge by:
- A pop-up notification after posting a score at a golf course that is or will be hosting a Challenge
- Through the Join Challenge button next to a host site on our GHIN Challenges webpage.
How do I post scores to a Challenge?
After you join a Challenge, every score you post at the participating facility during the duration of the Challenge is counted towards the Challenge.
**Note: It takes 3 scores posted at the facility during the Challenge period to be ranked on the leaderboard.
Can I join multiple GHIN Challenges at the same time?
Yes, golfers are able to join multiple challenges at the same time.
How does the leaderboard rank Challenge participants?
Rankings use your Total Net Score (Adjusted Gross Score minus Course Handicap) and are based on your lowest 3 rounds during the challenge period.
Will Challenge scores be subject to review?
Once a challenge ends, WPGA staff will review score postings for those who placed and won prizes. While GHIN Challenges are meant to be recreational competition, the integrity of the game remains a top priority.
