The Manitoba Golf Association (MGA) was formed in 1915 with five clubs: St. Charles, Pine Ridge, Norwood, Winnipeg Hunt Club and Elmhurst. In 1922, the Manitoba Ladies was formed and, the following year, it became the Manitoba Branch of the Canadian Ladies Golf Union. The clubs affiliated were Assiniboine, Norwood, Alcrest, Elmhurst, St. Charles, and Canoe Club. The name was later changed to the Manitoba Ladies Golf Association (MLGA).
On 31 March 2004, the MGA and the MLGA amalgamated to form Golf Manitoba.
