Founded in 1931, the Public Links Golf Association of Southern California (PLGA) is composed entirely of golfers who are members of clubs attached to public golf courses and clubs unattached to any specific facilities (Affiliate Clubs).

PLGA is directly licensed by the United States Golf Association (USGA) to provide the basic infrastructure for ORGANIZED PUBLIC GOLF in Southern California, including the provision of the USGA Handicap System and the USGA Course Rating System.

With 185 clubs and 23,000 individual members, PLGA is the largest exclusively public golf association in the national USGA family, and as such, it defends the ancient and honorable traditions of the game in the municipal and daily fee sectors.

Indeed, PLGA's unofficial motto is that "the highest pf standards and the public sector are mutually compatible concepts."
