Competition is the point, not the excuse
Every getaway is a scored tournament with a winner. The golf is not a backdrop for the trip; the trip is what surrounds the golf.
About
Three words, and the order matters. Golf comes first, because the tournament is the reason for the trip. Indulgence is the resort, the spa, the cocktails and the long dinners. Retreats is the week away with women who play the way you do.
There is no shortage of golf trips for women. There are retreats, clinics, wine weekends with a scramble attached, and beautiful itineraries that treat the round as one item on a list.
What was harder to find was the thing a lot of us actually wanted: a real tournament. A field. A format. Flights. A draw posted the night before. A leaderboard you check twice on the back nine. Prizes handed out in front of everyone.
The GIR Club was built to host exactly that — and then to put it somewhere worth flying to, with the spa, the cocktails and the long dinners that turn a field of strangers into a group chat.
We are not a travel agency. We don't sell itineraries and we don't resell someone else's package. We host the tournament, we choose the resort, and we run the week.
A letter from the founder — placeholder copy
This section is waiting for your words. Tell them how you came to the game, the tournament you wished existed, and the first getaway you ever ran. It's the most-read paragraph on any site like this.
Keep it in your own voice. Two or three short paragraphs, a photo of you on a course you love, and your name at the bottom.

Founder, The GIR Club
There is no single GIR woman, which is the best thing about a well-flighted field.
She plays in everything at home and wants a field that isn't the same twenty faces. She's here for the leaderboard.
She picked the game up recently, took it seriously, and has never actually played in a tournament. This is her first.
They enter as two teams, get drawn alongside other pairs, and go home with twice as many people to play with.
She books alone on purpose. By the welcome cocktails she knows four names, and by the closing dinner she's planning the next one.
