Women’s 5+4-Hole Golf Association
The Bella Vista Women’s Five+Four-Hole Golf Association is accepting members for the 2022 golf season.

A variety of games are played (scrambles, closest to the pin, longest drive, etc.) and no handicaps are used. Play starts in April, weather permitting, at Brittany Golf Course.
Those interested in participating can sign up at the golf course once play starts in April or email Nona Storck at nstorck@att.net. Annual dues are $15. Make checks payable to Women’s 5+4-Hole Golf Association.
