June is Women’s Golf Month

June is all about celebrating women in golf. This national celebration seeks to promote playing golf with fun and affordable events. Each event designed to create a more women-friendly environment for all women golfers.

Women’s Golf Month makes it easy for new, casual and avid golfers to get in the game, meet new faces and help grow the participation of women in the sport. When compared to countries like Canada, Sweden, Netherlands, Switzerland, Korea and Germany, the U.S. has the least female participation.

Since its premier in 2005, the campaign has introduced or re-introduced more than 135,000 people across the U.S. to the game. Women’s Golf Month, along with Women’s Golf Day, is dedicated to engaging, empowering and supporting new and experienced golfers. Just 15 years ago, less than 20% of youth golfers were female -- today that number is 36%. It's campaigns like this that will continue to shape and grow the sport.

As the proud host of the Pure Silk Championship presented by Visit Williamsburg, Kingsmill's River Course has a multiple tee options and short par 3s perfect for female golfers of all levels. Just ask the pros, for those who have never teed it up at the River Course, it’s a ‘must play’. And for those who have, it’s a ‘must play again.’
