What is the 100 Hole Hike?
The 100 Hole Hike is the ultimate fundrasing challenge for Youth on Course,
a 501(c)3
nonprofit organization that provides youth with access to life-changing opportunities through golf. In this challenge, hikers a.k.a. golfers sign up to take on the playing of 100 Holes in ONE DAY. Before and during the Hike, hikers will ask their community of family, friends, and co-workers to donate to the cause. Every dollar raised provides motivation for the golfers to push forward to complete the challenge.
The 100 Hole Hike allows golfers to get involved, play the game, and raise funds for a great cause that directly gives back to golf.

Do I have to Hike alone?
No! You can sign up to Hike and raise funds as an individual or you can be part of a Hike Team . Teams can have all members complete the entire Hike OR they can tag-team the 100 Holes by splitting it up with each member taking a certain number of holes before tagging in the next Hiker. Teams have each member raise funds that will then count towards the Team Total Fundraising Goal. To keep things interesting, Youth On Course 100 Hole Hike keeps a running scoreboard of Teams to see who can raise the most money across the nation.
Why do we Hike?
The Hike's purpose is to raise funds for Youth On Course, while giving players the chance to complete a challenge. Youth On Course makes it possible for junior golfers to access golf at the affordable rate of $5 or less for a round. Thousands of courses across the United States, Canada, and Australia have agreed to be Youth On Course courses, where these kids can play at this price. Youth On Course continues to build its impact with programs such as the DRIVE club, Careers on Course, Leadership Council, College Scholarships, and now an Alumni Network. From the early days of their golf experience through to their graduation into adulthood, Youth On Course is providing life changing opportunity to kids, some who may not otherwise be able to play this game we love.
