Interested in playing golf for $5 or less?
You've come to the right place.

Becoming a Youth on Course member is easy and affordable, and memberships are good for a calendar year.

In order to join, you must have participating courses in your area and be at least 6 years old, but not yet in college.

After signing up, you’ll complete a brief curriculum which gets you a membership card. From there, you can hit the links!

By becoming a member, you’re also securing membership into your local state and regional golf association, which gives you the ability to play tournaments and establish a handicap. Score!

Are you a member of the first tee?

Guess what? You likely already have a Youth on Course membership! If you are in a First Tee chapter in one of our participating regions, please contact your chapter about your Youth on Course membership and they should be able to get you squared away.
