YOC 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 YOC facility, you are representing yourself, your family, and the entire Youth on Course community.

- Be respectful to the course and any of the course’s buildings, grounds, & equipment
- Follow the rules of each course you visit. YOC availability varies and can be viewed in the YOC app or on the website. Course policies like tee-time booking and dress code may be found on each course’s website.
- Play fairly and be honest
- Resolve disagreements in a positive way
- Avoid inappropriate language
- YOC memberships are for individuals only. Sharing a YOC membership with someone else is not allowed
- Usage of drugs or alcohol is prohibited
