Youth on Course Junior Golf Programs

NCGA has developed a Youth on Course golf membership program for kids between the age of 6 and 17.    The Youth on Course program emphasizes life skills and values.   The program features nine core values:  integrity, honesty, respect, courtesy, responsibility, sportsmanship, confidence, judgment, and perseverance.    The idea is to allow youth to participate in golf affordably through clinics, course play, internships and scholarship.   Once certified, participants can play golf for as little as $5 in over 115 Northern California golf courses.

Kids can become Youth on Course members by becoming Life Skills Certified, and obtaining a Youth on Course membership card.    There are two ways to become Life Skills Certified.  Kids aged 6 to 17 can attend a certified program.   Certified programs are offered after school and on weekend during the school year integrating specific golf skills and life skills.  Summer certification programs are also offered. In the San Francisco Bay Area, Certified Programs can be found at these Golf Courses Bay Area:
