Welcome!
​The Haliburton Highlands Women's Golf League is a non-profit group with the goal of bringing women together on golf courses around the area. We have many different courses in Haliburton County and they offer us the opportunity to golf in the beauty of the highlands. ​
​
We currently have four different golfing groups: one 9-hole group that plays on Tuesday mornings with tee times starting at 8 am, two 9-hole groups that play on Tuesday afternoons with tee times starting at 3 pm and one 18-hole handicapped group that plays on Wednesday afternoons with tee times starting at 2 pm. You are welcome to join any or all of the groups. If you prefer later 9-hole tee times, join the Chippers with tee times that start at 3 pm and then again at 5 pm.
​
For more information about our events and other golf events and courses in the area, see our Events and Golf pages.
PRESIDENT’S LETTER 2026
On behalf of myself and the HHWGL Executive, welcome to the 31st season of the Haliburton Highlands Women’s Golf League.
​
The Icebreaker Tee will be held on Friday May 8th, 2026 at 7 pm and will be back at the Haliburton Legion. This is a great opportunity to meet and socialize with your fellow golfers and to learn about all the fun things planned for 2026! We hope to see you all at the Haliburton Legion.
We are hoping to offer golf clinics, lessons and discounts with our local providers again this year. We will have details at the Tee, or we will send out details in May.
2026 Online Registration is now live. If you are unavailable to join the Icebreaker Tee, make sure to sign up now on our “Membership” page.
Our Earlie Birdies 9-hole morning league on Tuesdays is entering it’s second year. Our inaugural season was wonderfully Captained by Connie Wood and Sue Desroches. They organized fun weekly games and challenges. It was great to meet new ladies and get some golf in to start the day. Thankfully they have agreed to run it again for this year. Our first-year numbers were small, but we had a lot of interest and requests for a later start. This year we will be teeing off later starting at 8:50am in the Spring and Fall and 8:00am July and August. We are adding Lakeside GC to the rotation along with Gull River, Haliburton Highlands and Pinestone.

Our Best Ball Bash Tournament and AGM in September is a great time every year. The 2025 Tournament at Blairhampton was no exception. A big THANK YOU to Jen Ackert and her team Shirlee Weeks, Loraine Forgrave, Robin Begin, Sandi Glecoff, Emily Glecoff, Bonnie Foster and Sandra Cassidy for making it a success. Our Tournament Team has volunteered to run the 2026 BBB and I’m sure it will be a blast. We will announce date and location for the BBB soon.
This is my fourth year as President for the HHWGL; It is an honour to be part of a wonderful executive team.
