Kids and teens across the country can now play golf for just $5 or less per round, thanks to a new partnership between Bank of America and Youth on Course. Through the Golf with Us initiative, youth ages 6-18 are eligible for a free one-year Youth on Course membership.
What is the Golf with Us program?
The Golf with Us program, launched in partnership aims to break down financial barriers to golf by providing free annual memberships for young players. The membership offers access to thousands of courses in 97 markets nationwide and a host of learning opportunities. The deadline to enroll is May 24, and program membership includes a registered handicap index in the United States Golf Association’s Golf Handicap Information Network (GHIN) system, along with continued development and learning opportunities.
“Through Golf with Us, BofA is showing young people what is possible in golf, and in life, when they work hard to achieve their goals,” said Raul Anaya, president of Bank of America Los Angeles. “By offering opportunities for Los Angeles kids to play golf here in our backyard, we are empowering youth and young adults through the transformational power of sports.”
David Tyrie, president of Marketing, Digital & Specialized Consumer Client Solutions at Bank of America, said: “By working with Youth on Course to help make golf more accessible, we’re helping grow the sport while also making a positive impact in our communities.”
Golf clinics and learning opportunities
Through Golf with Us, Bank of America will also bring unique instructional opportunities to youth in select markets throughout the spring, summer and fall by hosting a series of free clinics featuring professional golfers, athletes and celebrities with a passion for golf.
“Golf has the power to shape young lives in incredible ways — not just through the sport itself, but through the friendships, confidence and opportunities it creates,” said Youth on Course CEO Adam Heieck. “Through this partnership with Bank of America, we’re making it possible for more kids across the country to step onto the course and discover what’s possible. This partnership is about more than just golf; it’s about opening doors and changing futures.”
Strength in partnership
Youth on Course and BofA recently announced a multiyear, strategic partnership to expand golf access across the country for young players who are challenged to find an affordable place to play. As part of the agreement, Bank of America is helping fund widespread expansion of municipal course locations participating in the program. To date, more than 2,000 courses are Youth on Course partners nationwide.
The bank will promote Golf with Us through a series of commercials beginning during the Masters Tournament. Bank of America serves as Champion Partner of the Masters Tournament and has partnered with the Augusta National Women’s Amateur since 2019, hosting annual golf clinics for youth in the Augusta, Ga. area. In 2025, Bank of America became the presenting partner of the More Than Golf Invitational for female amateur golfers in partnership with the ANNIKA Foundation founded by golfing legend Annika Sorenstam. In addition, the bank has partnered since 2002 with the Latin America Amateur Championship and Asia-Pacific Amateur Championships.
Beyond its growing golf partnership portfolio, Bank of America also partners with iconic brands in sports that share a vision for excellence and achievement to deepen client relationships, inspire and showcase teammates, create lasting economic impact in communities and drive growth, globally and locally, through the power of sport.
