History

The Golden Gayt Golf Club was founded in 1998, by Danny Beaver, Gregory Fearon, and others, as one of the first golf clubs in the country for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community, and our straight allies. Since then, members have been gathering throughout the San Francisco Bay Area on a regular basis.

History

After the Dallas-area Different Strokes Golf Association was founded in 1997, we believe that we are the second-longest consecutively running LGBT+ and allied golf club in the United States.

Today, GGG boasts 60+ members, more than 150 contacts, and we hold more 20+ events each year.
