Signature fundraising event returns to iconic venues across California and Florida, bringing together creator ambassadors and supporters to fuel affordable golf opportunities for youth
Monterey, Calif. – Youth on Course – the nonprofit organization providing youth with access to life-changing opportunities through golf – announced the 2026 schedule for the 100 Hole Hike fundraising initiative. Celebrating 20 years of impact, the 2026 season will span from California to Florida, as hikers rally nationwide to expand youth access to golf.
As Youth on Course celebrates this milestone year, the 100 Hole Hike™ returns for its 11th season. The annual fundraising challenge will bring together golfers, ambassadors, industry partners and supporters at 28 locations nationwide to complete 100 holes of golf in one day while raising funds to make golf more accessible for young people.
This year's national schedule features iconic and community-focused golf venues, including:
Participants can take on the 100-hole challenge at a national hike location, through their local Allied Golf Association, or by organizing their own hike at any golf course in the country. Fundraising minimums for registered participants begin at $1,000.
This year's hike season will feature Youth on Course ambassadors Tisha Alyn, Roger Steele, Bradford Wilson, Mariah Swigart , Nick Dimengo, and Hally Leadbetter, who will help amplify the challenge and spotlight the impact of the 100 Hole Hike across the country.
"I'm honored to hike for the second year in a row supporting the incredible work Youth on Course is doing to grow the game," said Wilson. "Every step, every hole and every dollar raised helps more young people experience the opportunities golf can provide, and I'm proud to be part of it."
This year, BUNCHIES, the golf snack brand co-founded by Leadbetter, will also join the 100 Hole Hike as an official event sponsor, providing hikers with energy balls throughout the hike season.
Since Youth on Course adopted the 100 Hole Hike in 2015, the event has grown into one of golf's premier charitable fundraising initiatives.
In 2025, the 100 Hole Hike raised more than $2 million, helping provide nearly 300,000 subsidized rounds for Youth on Course members. Funds raised also support college scholarships, internships and career-building programs that empower the next generation both on and off the course.
Today, Youth on Course serves more than 400,000 members across over 2,300 places to play in the U.S., Canada and Australia. As we celebrate 20 years of impact, the 100 Hole Hike continues to bring our community together to create even more opportunities for young people through golf.
