Top golf courses in California to play with your kids
At Youth on Course, we don't think there is a better way to spend time with family than out on a golf course.
Golf teaches important social, mental, and physical skills and each round is filled with learning potential. Youth on Course (YOC) has over 1,200 golf courses across North America that are all available to YOC members for $5 or less. By joining the growing network of 65,000 Youth on Course members, YOC allows you and your kids to spend quality family time together (sometimes up to 5 hours!), outside, off cellphones, and exercising, all at an affordable price of $5 or less.
The core purpose of Youth on Course is to provide youth with access to opportunities. High school-aged YOC members have access to employment opportunities through the Youth on Course intern and caddie programs. Caddies and interns gain meaningful work experience in the golf industry, learn financial responsibility, and start building a network.
Sign up the youth golfer in your family and play some of Golfweek's notable "Best Courses You Can Play" in Northern California and some of Golf Digest's top courses for just $5!
