Youth on Course has helped me find many affordable golf courses around my area that I didn’t know I had. If it weren’t for Youth on Course I would not have gotten into the wonderful game of golf.
Youth on Course has been such an important part of both my boys’ teen years. They’ve been members for three years now and have probably golfed over 200 times at various courses in the area. Both boys have improved their scores by over 20 strokes and have developed a passion for the game that will surely never go away.
Getting kids out here playing 12 to 18 holes is part of our purpose and mission as a First Tee course and Youth on Course partner. We log rounds from 5-10 junior golfers on any given day, sometimes as many as 20 players in one day.

The Youth on Course membership is annual, with options for auto-renewal. If you join in the last quarter of the year (October-December), you will receive those months plus the entire following year for the same annual price. If you joined through the VSGA Junior Golf Circuit, you will need to renew your JGC membership first.
Juniors ages 6-18 are eligible to join Youth on Course, with benefits lasting up until their 19th birthday.
After checking course availability, call ahead if needed to book a tee time. Check in at the pro shop upon arrival and provide them with your first and last name and either your GHIN number or YOC number. Youth on Course members can download the Youth on Course app to receive their digital membership card. You will then pay the pro shop staff the round fee, if applicable, and then you’re all set!
No, any Youth on Course member with a valid driver’s license will need to pay a separate cart rental fee. Additionally, if any non-Youth on Course members would like to accompany the member as they play, they may be required by the course to pay the normal course fee.
Download the Youth on Course app, where you can view your digital membership card, access member benefits, search for participating courses, and manage your membership. If you don’t have a smartphone, access the web version here.
