The YMCA Golf League

97 Years of Consecutive History!

“The most important shot in golf is the next one.” Ben Hogan

YOUR NEXT SHOT, KEEP IT SIMPLE, CHAMPION A 2026 TEAM

Businesses and individual golf enthusiasts are invited to become part of the Y-League’s remarkable 97-year legacy by entering a team. The Y-League offers community-wide visibility and meaningful promotional opportunities for participating businesses, while providing individual players a chance to connect through friendly competition. Our league supports wellness, boosts morale, and fosters teamwork both on and off the course. Well-organized and competitively balanced, the Y-League delivers an experience that players and partners alike consistently value.

DETAILS

How: Currently 22 teams with a goal to reach 24 in 2026, will compete throughout the season. Each week, team Captains field 4 players to match their skills against 4 other team opponents. Points are awarded individual players under both a match and medal format. Points are also awarded for total team performance.

At the end of the season, we host divisional playoffs. Championship Teams receive recognition. One team will immerge as Y-League 2026 Grand Champion. Hopefully it’s the team representing your business or organization. 

Where: Mill Creek Park Golf Course.

SPECIAL EVENTS

Camp Fitch YMCA Polar Bear Plunge

Cost should never be the reason a child cannot attend Camp Fitch YMCA. To turn that mission into reality, Camp Fitch has hosted their annual Polar Bear Plunge for the last 15 years! Staff, alumni, campers, and anyone else who wants to join the cause jump into the icy waters of Lake Erie with the same purpose: to give the life-changing opportunity of camp to kids who would otherwise be unable to afford. All are welcome to join the fun (without any pressure to jump in Lake Erie)! We will have food, games, and raffles for everyone to participate in.
