Our History

Born in 2006 out of the Northern California Golf Association, Youth on Course began as the NCGA Foundation - a way to increase the accessibility and affordability of golf for Northern California youth. Within five years, the program was thriving and we expanded opportunities for our members to include caddie programs, paid high school internships and college scholarships.

It quickly became apparent that there was a huge demand for what we were doing outside of Northern California. The NCGA Foundation was re-imagined as a nationwide initiative to grow the game, and the name Youth on Course was born to establish a national identity.

To date, we have expanded Youth on Course to 23 regions, subsidized more than 600,000 rounds of golf, hired more than 115 interns and 362 caddies, and award $275,000+ in scholarships annually.
