We Salute our Founders

Les Birdies Golf Club, Inc. was founded in 1976 by a group of African American professional women who shared a passion for golf and a vision for change. At a time when access to the game—and the opportunities it creates—was limited for women of color, these founders came together to open doors, build community, and create pathways for future generations.

At its core, Les Birdies Golf Club exists to introduce African American women and girls to the game of golf while using the sport as a tool for personal growth, education, and community impact. We believe golf teaches more than technique—it builds confidence, discipline, resilience, and lifelong connections.
