Youth on Course: Changing Lives with $5 Golf Rounds in DuPont

What Can $5 Buy a Young Person Today?

In DuPont, it could unlock a lifetime passion—and teach valuable life skills.

For many families, golf has long been seen as a luxury sport, often out of reach due to high costs. But thanks to Youth on Course, an innovative national program, young people in DuPont can now play a full round of golf for just $5.

This initiative has made a huge impact—last year alone, more than 70,000 rounds were played by kids between ages 6 and 18.

How Youth on Course is Breaking Barriers

The Home Course in DuPont has become a major hub for the Youth on Course program, offering kids affordable access to a sport that teaches:

⛳ Discipline & Focus – Mastering the game takes patience and perseverance.
🏌️ Confidence & Independence – Golf challenges players to problem-solve and push through setbacks.
🌿 Healthy Outdoor Activity – Getting kids off screens and into nature.

As Justin Gravett, General Manager of the Home Course, puts it:

By making golf accessible to kids from all backgrounds, the program is building a stronger, more connected community—one round at a time.

More Than a Game: Why It Matters

🏌️‍♂️ Golf Teaches Lifelong Skills – Kids develop patience, decision-making, and sportsmanship.
🌍 Expanding Access – Affordable golf ensures that financial barriers don’t prevent kids from participating.
💡 Building Community Connections – Programs like these help strengthen relationships between local businesses, families, and youth organizations.

By lowering the cost of entry, Youth on Course is reshaping the perception of golf—turning it from an elite sport into an inclusive tool for personal growth and character-building.

Looking Ahead: A Bright Future for Youth Golf

With more young players hitting the green, the success of Youth on Course proves that when communities invest in youth programs, everyone benefits.

So, what’s next?
The program is expected to expand its reach, bringing even more kids into the game and continuing to foster a love for the sport that can last a lifetime.
