The Mexican American Golf Association (MAGA) incorporated in 1963 in Fresno, California, uniting a breed of recreational golfers to the heights of organized amateur
competitive golf.

MAGA organized its golfing members into Chapters, covering California from border to border. The Chapters are divided into three groups called Councils: Northern, Central and Southern. A State board sets uniform rules and guidelines for all MAGA members of California under the advice and consent of the Chapters and Councils.

Through the year, the State, the Councils and the Chapters host tournaments in a competive manner to promote competition and camaraderie. The chapters not only promote competition but also raise funds for Junior programs, scholarship programs and community projects.


The Northern Council is comprised of all counties north to the Oregon border and extending south to the boundaries of the Central Council. It consists of the Chapters within its geographical boundaries. It is comprised of the following 8 chapters: Contra Costa, Napa Valley, Sacramento, San Benito, San Jose, Santa Clara, Stockton, and Yuba/Sutter.
