Membership FAQs

How do I renew my Handicap Index?

If you previously had your Handicap Index hosted by a club and wish to keep your membership, please contact the pro shop directly.

If you are renewing your online membership, you can do so here.

I left my previous club. How do I keep my GHIN account so I can post scores?

If you’re considering joining a new golf club or primarily play at a single course, we recommend contacting the club’s pro shop directly to renew your GHIN membership. Let the staff know that you already have a profile so they can reactivate your existing account with all your score history, rather than creating a new one.

Prefer to play wherever and whenever you can? You can renew your membership as an individual, without a club affiliation, right here just just a few clicks.

I just joined a GAP Member Club. How do I change or add my club affiliation?

Joined a new club? That’s great! Contact the pro shop and let them know you’d like to be added to their GHIN roster. Whenever a golfer changes affiliations, the pro shop must handle the update.

I made a mistake while posting to my Handicap Index. How can I delete my score?

A posted score can only be deleted by the golfer on the same day it was entered. If you notice an error after that, no worries! Just send us an email using the “Contact Us” feature on the GHIN Mobile App or ghin.com.
