WGC 2022 Season

"I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination." - Jimmy Dean

As you know, Bella Vista is undergoing a change in its handicap system starting January 1st, 2022. The cost of the GolfNet system used in Bella Vista is increasing to $29.99 per person next year. Golf Ops has decided to move to the GHIN golf handicap system. This system comes with a slightly lower cost ($25) along with significant advantages for Bella Vista.

We are currently evaluating the benefits of GHIN, along with its access to a tournament management system. We want to make the best decision for the future of WGC. Your patience is greatly appreciated as we explore our options.

Membership Application

Our 2022 Membership Applications are available on our WGC website by clicking on the link below. We will also have the forms at our brunch on Thursday for your convenience. Sign up now to be eligible for next season's hole-in-one! You never know when it might happen.

The WGC will no longer collect a handicap fee from our members. Bella Vista is moving to a new handicap system, (GHIN) starting January 1st 2022. WGC members are required to sign up for GHIN at the Golf Office any time after December 1, 2021. The GHIN discounted rate is $25.00 per member and is to be paid directly at the Golf Office. Current GolfNet handicaps will be rolled into the new GHIN system at that time. A GHIN handicap will be necessary to play in the BVWGC and must be available before signing up for first play date.

New Members without a GHIN handicap, bring three (3) scorecards to the Golf Office when you sign up for GHIN. Once your handicap is established, enter all of your scores into the GHIN system except BVWGC scores. These will be posted by the WGC Handicap Committee. You must have a GHIN handicap to be eligible to participate in BVWGC weekly prizes.

Evaluation Time

The BVWGC Board is gathering information for next season. Your input is very important to us. This is your opportunity to share your thoughts and ideas to make the WGC better in the future. Please take a minute and complete the questionnaire. Thank you.

Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers are needed to make our WGC organization work each season. Please consider volunteering for one or more committees in 2022.
