The Golf Club Managers' Association, or GCMA (formerly the Association of Golf Club Secretaries) is a UK professional association for secretaries, managers, or owners of golf courses. The organisation was headquartered in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, from 1999 until 2014, when it moved to Bristol and Clifton Golf Club.[1]

The association was formed in 1933.[1] Its core activities include networking and professional development.[2] The association participates in joint educational ventures with other organizations, including an online training course in association with Buckinghamshire New University[3] and a joint Safety Management System in association with the British and International Golf Greenkeepers Association, or BIGGA.[4] The Safety Management System is designed to standardize health and safety programmes throughout the member golf courses of both organizations.[5]
