What started out as a casual get together with friends, morphed into a casual get together with more friends! The Royal and Ancient Hackers started in 2021 as a simple way to have well run, organized golf games that were accommodating to all levels. Our goal is to introduce players to the unsolvable mystery of the USGA GHIN handicap system, have a few laughs and play semi-competitive golf.

We’d humbly describe ourselves as a bunch of golf nerds ranging in age from 19 to 60. Skill levels rangel from scratch golfers, all the way to mid-20 handicaps. At the end of the day, the best golfers are the players with the biggest smiles on their face, although a heavier wallet is nice to come home to. 

We travel around southern California playing some of the best golf courses in the state from Ram’s Hill to Arroyo Trabuco and beyond. Although most courses are played in Orange County, we still venture into Riverside and San Diego Counties. Once a month we host an official event that includes flighted individual net games, better ball net games, closest to the pins, skins, and a season long FedEx cup style point system. So once a month, you have multiple chances to win and meet some new people. 

If you’re looking for a friendly group of golfers, like meeting new people, and sharing some on-course laughs, we encourage you to join the club.
