Welcome to Le Portage Golf Club’s Couple's League 2026!
Next Couple's League Night will be on Friday, July 03, 2026.
Following recent feedback, league play is being restructured to better reflect the preferences of the majority.
As handicap calculation has been the primary concern within the Couples League, we have decided to amend the original team handicap formula.
For the 2026 season, a team’s handicap index will be calculated as 40% of the lower handicap player’s index plus 10% of the higher handicap player’s index.
We will maintain this format for the duration of the season and will review its effectiveness at year-end, with any potential adjustments made prior to the start of next season.
In addition, a weekly Quota Game will also be introduced to couple's league play.
Teams will earn points based on performance on designated holes, with the highest point total earning a prize.
The selected holes and point values will change weekly, providing a fresh and inclusive opportunity for all participants to win.
We will no longer require players to maintain a balance on account for league participation, though this option will remain available for those who prefer it.
Groups may still reserve a consistent weekly tee time for the full season. However, it is expected that any changes or cancellations are communicated to the Professional Shop in advance. Failure to provide notice may result in the loss of the reserved time under a “three strikes” policy.
League tee times will continue to be blocked every Friday from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM. and we will continue to alternate between the front and back nine.
Groups may also choose to play between 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM, provided there are at least three league participants. Please note that these earlier times will not be reserved exclusively for league play and may be booked by public players.
Groups wishing to secure a recurring time in this window may do so, with the understanding that certain course events may occasionally take precedence.
$10 entry fee will cover the following prize pools:
Gross Skins Game
