Since 2012, the AWGA has managed the GEM (Golf Endorsed by Members) program, to recognize courses that best serve the needs of women golfers. In order to be considered for a GEM award, a golf course must be an active course with the AWGA and have at least one set of tees with a current USGA course rating for play by women that has been issued by the AWGA. Courses were evaluated by AWGA members on a variety of criteria such as customer service, playability, clubhouse facilities and restroom availability.

A total of 20 Arizona golf courses were recognized by the AWGA as 2016 GEM award winners.
