We are always searching for new ways to expand access to the game that we love, especially for junior golfers who may otherwise lack access to golf courses to play and improve their game.
With that continuing goal in mind, we are proud to announce that we have renewed our collaboration with Youth on Course for the fourth year. Youth on Course is a non-profit organization that began in 2006 in Northern California, addressing a critical need for course access to junior golfers by providing access to play local courses for $5 per round. Now in its 20th year, Youth on Course’s continued focus is to eliminate the barriers facing junior golfers due to the costs of playing golf at local courses. Youth on Course provides access for almost 400,000 junior members, ages 18 and under, at over 2,300 golf courses across the United States, Canada and Australia.
In addition to the on-course access, Youth on Course provides opportunities for career preparation, paid summer internships, leadership skill development, and even college scholarships.
These benefits to junior golfers are made possible by the passion and generosity of committed collaborators, including corporate donors, golf courses, allied golf associations and junior golf organizations, who want to see young people succeed, both on and off the golf course.
Youth on Course will return to Walt Disney World® Golf with a discounted rate program available at Disney's Oak Trail Golf Course, our family-friendly, 9-hole walking course, from May 1st to December 31st, after 11:00 am daily. A round of golf will be available for $5 per junior member of the Youth on Course program.
