1 Day. 100 Holes. Golf's Ultimate Charitable Challenge.
Youth on Course Minnesota (YOCMN) supporters across the state take on the formidable challenge of playing 100 holes of golf all in an effort to help ensure young people have affordable access to golf and the life-changing opportunities that come with playing the sport.
85% of member families say YOC makes it possible to afford the cost of golf for their children while 82% of members say YOC has helped their family spend more time together.
In Minnesota in 2024 we will have nearly 20,000 members play over 100,000 rounds at over 100 facilities throughout the state. Help us invest in the future of golf and hike by yourself or with a team, so we can create opportunities for our youth.
There are two ways to participate and hike:
Solo: Hike 100 Holes on your own - do it in a loop, play the same hole or three holes, any way you cut it you are a die hard that want to do it all yourself.
Team: Hike 100 Holes with a team - do it together, do it separately, as long as you make it to 100 Holes collectively. This option allows more flexibility with your time and energy.
Hiking in a way that is unique to you not only adds excitement to the challenge but also contributes to the greater cause of providing youth with access to golf!

Quotes from YOCMN Members:
“I love Youth on Course because it allows me access to practice more than I normally would be able to, and it also allows me to golf more with my brother and sister who are also Youth on Course members. Youth on Course awarded my sister a college scholarship, which has taken a big load off my family. Youth on Course has also had a positive impact on my mental game while competing in championships, by applying the things I learned on the course while playing YOC rounds.” (Waverly Yang, 14)
“I love the Youth on Course program because it gives me access to lots of courses that I normally wouldn’t choose to play because of the cost, and it helps improve my game because I get to practice a lot more than I would if I had to pay full price. It also has benefitted me in meeting a lot of new people my age who are also YOC members!” (Selena Wu, 15)
