The Northern Illinois Men's Amateur Golf Association (NIMAGA) is a nonprofit organization founded during the winter of 1959/1960. NIMAGA hosts 20 tournaments annually at courses across the Chicagoland area. We offer a mix of weekend and weekday tournaments, as well as multiple divisions to accommodate all members of varying skill levels.
NIMAGA adheres to the USGA rules of golf and awards both a gross and net winner in every division, at each stroke play tournament. Additional payouts are awarded to net scores in the field. CDGA manages our handicap service, which is included in annual membership fees.
