Kids 6–18 can play at over 2,000 courses for $5 or less — and it’s changing the game nationwide.
We love a good golf deal at AmateurGolf.com — especially when it makes the game more accessible to the next generation.
That’s why we’re buzzing about Youth on Course, a nonprofit program giving kids aged 6 to 18 the chance to play at over 2,000 courses for just $5 or less per round. No strings, no gimmicks — just a game-changing initiative that’s making golf available to more families than ever before.
And the best part? This isn’t some niche thing. It’s everywhere — from desert fairways to coastal links.
Here’s a quick look at just how widespread the program is:
Whether you’re teeing it up in Temecula or chasing birdies in Buffalo, there’s probably a Youth on Course partner nearby.
Pro tip: Some courses may charge extra for carts or limit discounted times to afternoons, so check ahead before booking.
We’re not partnered with Youth on Course. We’re just big fans of getting more kids on the course without draining the family wallet. Programs like this are essential for keeping golf inclusive and fun — and ensuring the future of the game feels wide open.
If the $5 golf deal sounds too good to last — well, it just got supercharged. Youth on Course recently launched a major initiative called “Golf with Us,” giving thousands of kids a free one-year membership to YOC, thanks to a new partnership with Bank of America.
The promotion runs through May 24, 2025, or until 75,000 memberships are claimed. But this isn’t just a handout. It comes with access to courses in 97 markets, a GHIN handicap index, and even free clinics hosted by pro golfers and athletes in select cities.
We’re not here to push bank promotions — we just think it’s wild (in a good way) that a kid can get all this access and pay less than the price of a hot dog at most clubhouses. It’s a rare example of a big corporate partnership making a measurable impact at the local level.

Now’s the time. One membership unlocks a summer (or year) of affordable golf — and with hundreds of courses nationwide, you can make it part of your travels, too.
Because at the end of the day, golf is better when everyone can play. And $5 rounds? That’s something we’ll never stop talking about.
