The Mile Hi Golf Club (MHGC) formerly known as Mile Hi Sandbaggers Golf Club (MHSB) was founded in 1985 and joined Western States Golf Association (WSGA) the same year. The Mile Hi Golf Club is the largest of the three WSGA member clubs in Colorado which represents approximately 150 minority golfers. The Mile Hi Golf Club is a member club of Western States Golf Association which represents approximately 32 clubs in seven (7) states. Our primary goal is to increase minority presence in the field of golf, in the state of Colorado.
