Bank of America announced the launch of Golf with Us, a new initiative designed to grow the next generation of golfers.
Golf with Us offers youth, ages 6-18, a free one-year membership to Youth on Course, courtesy of Bank of America. Enrollment in the program is open until May 24, 2025, and includes access to thousands of courses in 97 markets for $5 or less per round. Local participating courses include First Tee of Augusta, Bartram Trail Golf Course and Forest Hills Golf Club, according to a news release from Bank of America.
“Through Golf with Us, BofA is showing young people – including many here in Augusta – what is possible in golf, and in life, when they work hard to achieve their goals,” said Ora Parish, Bank of America Augusta-Aiken. “By offering new opportunities for kids to play golf here in our backyard, we are empowering kids and creating a positive impact in our community through the transformational power of sports.”
The program also brings 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.
Program membership also includes a registered handicap index in the United States Golf Association’s Golf Handicap Information Network (GHIN) system, continued development as well as learning opportunities. Interested families can enroll in Youth on Course and learn more about the Golf with Us offer at BofA.com/GolfwithUs, the release continued.
“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.”
Youth on Course and BofA recently announced a multi-year, 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, BofA 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. BofA 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, BofA 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, BofA has partnered since 2002 with the Latin America Amateur Championship and Asia-Pacific Amateur Championships.
Beyond its growing golf partnership portfolio, BofA 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.
