The SCGA Foundation Youth On Course program is increasing the affordability and accessibility of golf for youth by establishing $1-$5 green fees and $1 range fees at golf facilities’ during off-peak hours. The participants are all certified by junior golf organizations for golf rules, etiquette, and ability, but also must be part of a life skills or educational program (such as The First Tee Life Skills Curriculum).
Through a partnership with the NCGA Foundation, Youth On Course is a statewide initiative. Both Foundations believe that golf teaches integrity, character, and responsibility in a way that few activities can match. With affordable access to golf, the game will continue to grow, but more importantly, youth will have the opportunity to experience the life skills that it teaches on a more frequent basis.

There are two ways to become certified for Youth on Course: Certified by Program and Certified Online. Both ways require the participant to be an SCGA Junior Member through one of the organizations listed. Please read below for information on how you can become a participant. The SCGA Foundation does not directly certify any juniors. A primary requirement of the program is that the youth participate in a form of character development training such as our online curriculum or The First Tee program.
Youth on Course participants can be classified for Supervised or Unsupervised access. This determination is made by the junior golf organization based on golf ability, behavior, and ability to act responsibly.
