Youth on Course is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that provides youth with access to life-changing opportunities through golf. Private funding makes it possible for members to have access to play for $5 or less through subsidies to thousands of courses throughout the United States, Canada and Australia.
Members have the opportunity to succeed through Youth on Course programs: DRIVE Club, Careers on Course, Leadership Council and College Scholarships. In addition, Youth on Course has an Alumni Network which extends membership to those 19 and older. This elevated membership offers opportunities for young adults to connect at complementary events, access exclusive deals, find jobs, and much more.
Example of Potential Foundation Page, I'm not sure legally how it works being able to set up a donation page on our website and accept donations straight from that link (Fundraising is something we should talk to Hugh about)

Interested in becoming a Youth on Course facility?
How it works
Youth on Course players pay no more than $5 for their round of golf, whether it’s 9 or 18 holes. Your facility than receives a subsidy per round from the NYSGA Foundation to bridge the gap between the club’s posted junior walking rate and the YOC player’s payment. The purpose of Youth on Course is to fill your tee sheet on select days during a specific time slot of your choice. Your club can now fill the traditionally unused times without the loss of revenue and while giving back to the game, providing a safe and fun environment for juniors.
To be accepted, you must complete the course interest form below. Upon filling this form out you will be immedietly notified by YOC national
Participating Course FAQ's
How often does my facility get reimbursed?
Clubs will receive subsidy checks on a monthly basis for rounds logged in the course portal, if the club does not log the round they will not receive a subsidy for said round.
How does my course keep track of kids playing here so we can get the right reimbursement?
There is an online check in system that is very user friendly. The club will create custom login credentials, allowing for quick, easy, and daily registration of YOC players that play at your club. (Insert link about course portal if it exists)
How will I know if kids are Youth on Coure members when they check in?
Youth on Course members should have their Member# available via the YOC app, printed membership card or showing their GHIN mobile app which shows the club affiliation of ‘YOC NYSGA. Membership can be verified by providing their GHIN# which is the same number as their Youth on Course Member#. The preferred method of verifying an active membership is by entering the juniors member # into the YOC portal when they arrive for their round of golf.
Can my local high school or junior group clinic use the YOC discounted rate for their course access payment?
The Youth on Course discount should not be utilized during any “organized play”. This includes high school team practice, any outside/organized group instruction, etc. Each organized group is to set up their own course access, while YOC is eligible to the individuals during the off-season or non-organized play time.
What if I don't want kids at my course during busy Sunday mornings or during tournaments?
No problem! YOU (The Club) set the times that juniors can play the course using this discounted rate. It’s requested that tee times are made by the juniors within the availability set by the club.
