Our Foundation
Helping Kids and Families Discover the Lifelong Game of Golf
The U.S. Kids Golf Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity with a mission to help kids have fun learning the lifelong game of golf and to encourage family interaction that builds lasting memories.
For more than 25 years, we have introduced children to the game through environments designed specifically for young players, combining trained coaches, family-centered tournaments, and developmentally appropriate learning tools.
At the heart of our work is a simple belief: golf is most powerful when it is shared between a child and their family. We bring this mission to life by investing in the people and experiences that define youth golf, educating and certifying coaches, creating family-centered playing opportunities, and building systems that support how kids learn and grow in the game.
Through more than 2,500 tournaments annually worldwide and a global network of certified coaches, we are helping shape one of the most effective pathways in youth sports.
