Member Code of Conduct
The safety and well-being of our members are Youth on Course’s top priority. Our standards and expectations exist to ensure that every member of Youth on Course feels safe and welcome whenever they visit a golf course to play. Please remember, when you are playing at a Youth on Course partner facility, you are representing yourself, your family, and the entire Youth on Course community.
Expectations of members include:
- Be respectful to yourself.
- Be respectful to others, including golf course staff members, and your playing partners.
- Be respectful to the course - repair ball marks, replace divots, rake bunkers, etc.
- We encourage walking when playing, but if you rent a cart be cautious to ensure your safety and the conditions of the course.
- Follow the rules of each course you visit. Availability for member play varies and can be viewed in the Youth on Course app or on the website. Course policies like tee-time booking and dress code may be found on each individual course’s website.
- Resolve disagreements in a positive way.
- Avoid inappropriate language.
- Usage of drugs or alcohol is prohibited.
- Youth on Course memberships are for individuals only. Sharing a membership with someone else is not allowed.
- If you reserve a tee time and need to cancel, call the course as soon as possible and let them know.
