Except for the Ladies' Day scrambles on both the executive and championship courses, I don't think there are any formal leagues to join - people form their own, both from neighborhoods and beyond. That said, if you have or establish a handicap on the championship courses, you can play in their Ladies' Day scrambles on the long courses and meet other good golfers who might be interested.

One exception I think are golf leagues available thru other interest groups - such as Singles groups, maybe state groups (like The Ohio Club)? Not sure yet about those, but other people may know. Not exactly sure what's available thru that avenue.

If you can't find any, see if you can start one out of some other interest group perhaps. I think it just takes someone willing to attempt to set up the group tee times each week, and a following willing to commit to play regularly.

I personally am just a very average golfer on the executive courses, but I love to golf. I've met at least 3 women (1 on exec. course Ladies' Day and 2 just from random pairings) who gave me their calling cards and asked me to call when I get back down to play golf sometime. They also seemed to play in the same range of mediocrity and we seemed to hit it off. It is nice to play with golfers near the same ability, although I get tips from better golfers and remember that we all started as beginners.

My plan, as I'd like to get into a casual regular league with similar ability players, is to do the same, getting a foursome together, or more, and then seeing about forming a once a week, or once a month, or whatever works, informal league. It might also involve lunch or dinner for whoever can make it that week.

I know there are different groups out there, many are within a neighborhood, but many probably are not. I've been the "filler person" in both men's and women's groups like this. I'd say don't be afraid to just go out on your own.
