We wanted to share this really cool program for young people to play golf at a deep discount. Youth on Course members can play golf at over 1,300 participating courses for $5 or less — including lots in the East Bay and nationwide.
The Youth on Course programs allow kids to play golf with their friends at local courses at a reduced price. It’s an amazing program that gets them out on the course and off screens. I am so glad we signed up for the program.
The program is good for walking fees at both Par 3 Courses and 18-hole courses.
Note: Greens fees do not include club rental or golf cart.
Youth on Course is for young golfers ages 6 to 18 to play at many participating courses. In addition to deeply discounted golf rounds for children, Youth on Course offers a caddie program, paid high school internships, and college scholarships.

Membership cost varies based on region. The price in Northern California is $60 per year and includes discounted rounds at participating courses, an official NCGA handicap, and extras like GolfPass Video through age 18. Memberships last for 12-months rolling (365-day) from the day you join or expire on your 19th birthday.
In order to join, youth must be at least 6 years old. After signing up, complete a brief set of questions, and then you’re ready to play. With membership, kids book tee times before getting to the course via phone or website using the membership card number.

3 thoughts on “Golf With Us: Kids Play Golf for $5 or Less”
I took my Grandson to our local course they charged me $5 Plus $18 For A Cart plus 18 for me thought it was 5 or less
I think the cart is not included in the deal.
Do you need to bring your own golf clubs or do they have them for rent?
