Golf with Us is back on Long Island, offering kids and teens ages 6 to 18 a free one-year membership to Youth on Course. The program gives kids access to discounted tee times at more than nine golf courses on Long Island, including Bethpage State Park Golf Course, West Sayville Golf Course and Timber Point Golf Course in Great River.
Youth on Course is a nonprofit organization aiming to break the financial barriers in golf and increase diversity within the sport. Participating Long Island kids get $5 tee-time access at participating courses and, for the first time this summer, $5 indoor golf simulator rentals and a free lesson from a PGA Pro at Golf Galaxy in Bay Shore. Youth rounds can range from $25 to $28 or more at Bethpage and other courses without the pass.

Golf with Us is open to all levels of experience. Run by Bank of America, it started in 2025. Since then, more than 1,600 children on the Island have become members of the nationwide program.
The Youth on Course free membership deal is being offered through June 15 with the Bank of America partnership. Annual membership fees are typically $60 per child.
A full list of participating Long Island locations is found here here. Visit youthoncourse.org for membership information.
"Golf with Us," is also expected to host clinics across the country during the summer, giving kids opportunities to learn from those who have mastered their craft.
