What is Youth on Course?

Youth on Course

Youth on Course  is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that provides youth with access to life-changing opportunities through golf. Private funding makes it possible for members to have access to play for $5 or less through subsidies to thousands of courses throughout the United States, Canada and Australia.

 

Members have the opportunity to succeed through Youth on Course programs: DRIVE Club, Careers on Course, Leadership Council and College Scholarships. In addition, Youth on Course has an Alumni Network which extends membership to those 19 and older. This elevated membership offers opportunities for young adults to connect at complementary events, access exclusive deals, find jobs, and much more.

 

How It Works

  1. Join or Renew for $25  (you may need to login again with your new Player Profile). Choose Youth on Course under Membership Programs.
  2. Complete the Youth on Course Course Readiness Quiz  to activate your membership and show you are ready to hit the course (approx. 15-20 min. to complete).
  3. Download the Youth On Course mobile app - where you can manage your account and quickly prove your membership when you arrive at the course. 
  4. Make a tee time at a participating course (link to list found below). Let them know you are a Youth On Course Member.
  5. Pay $5 or less to play your round.
  6. Enjoy your day out on the course!
If you do not have the ability to download the mobile app, you can request a printed membership card. Use the mobile app link above and scroll towards the bottom of the page to make this request. 

As a Youth On Course Member, you will also receive a GHIN number and Metropolitan Membership! You can use this to track your scores and progress, while establishing a Handicap Index. All area golfers with an active GHIN acount with our association have access to Metropolitan events, including the Metropolitan Junior Amateur Championship (boys and girls).
