How to Join, Renew, or Reactivate Your GHIN Membership & Handicap Index®

How do I join, renew, or reactivate an AZ GOLF membership?

To join, renew, or reactivate an AZ GOLF membership, choose the membership option that fits your situation and use your existing GHIN Number if you have one. New members will receive a GHIN Number during signup. All options are outlined in the steps below.

Whether you are new, renewing, or reactivating, you will always use the same GHIN Number—this number stays with you for life and keeps your scoring history and Handicap Index in one place, regardless of where you play or which club you join.

If you do not know your GHIN Number, use the USGA Handicap ID Lookup tool.

If you need help along the way, Chip, our online chatbot, is available to provide quick answers and guide you through common questions and troubleshooting.
 

Step 1: Determine what you need

  • If you already have a GHIN Number, you should renew or reactivate your membership using that same GHIN Number.

  • If you have never had a GHIN Number before, you will need to join a membership. A unique GHIN Number will be created for you at the time of registration.

 

Step 2: Select the membership option that fits your needs

All AZ GOLF memberships include full AZ GOLF member benefits. Select the option that matches your situation:

 

  • AZ eClub

    • This option is well-suited for golfers who do not consistently play at one course or with an organized league or club, and who want to maintain a Handicap Index.

  • AZ UNDER30

  • USGA/Arizona Golf Club

    • This membership includes full AZ GOLF member benefits, and members must join or renew directly through the USGA website.
      • For help with this membership, contact the USGA at gcsupport@usga.org.
  • AZ GOLF Member Clubs
    •  AZ GOLF partners with member clubs across Arizona. Some offer direct online join or renewal links through our Club Directory, while others require you to contact the club directly or visit the clubhouse to join.

      • When you are using the Club Directory

        The Club Directory works best when you search using only one simple term. Do not use multiple filters at the same time, as that may prevent results from appearing.

        • For example, search: "palm valley".
        • Avoid combining: City, Gender, Play days, Age range, etc.

        Note: If your club does not appear in the results, try searching using only part of the club name.

Common issues

  • I do not know my GHIN Number

  • My email is not associated with my membership
    • Make sure you are using the email address tied to your GHIN profile. You can update your email address by logging in to the GHIN App or GHIN.com. If you no longer have access to your original email address, contact AZ GOLF for assistance.
  • My payment information does not match my bank/credit card 
    • Double-check that your billing address and payment information exactly match what your bank or credit card company has on file.
