A welcoming family-friendly golf facility
Course Culture Program

Families are already using the passport. Become the course they choose.

The Kid Friendly Golf Passport is free for every family and works at every course in America. Approved Facilities are the ones that make it special — official stamps, family tees, welcome kits, recognition boards, and a parent-facing profile on our map.

The shift

Families don't wait on us anymore.

Every parent can start a passport today, at any course. That means junior golf demand is already forming in your market — with or without you.

Your advantage

Be where those families play.

Approved Facilities show up on the map families search, get followed by local families, and see their junior programs listed inside every nearby parent's portal.

The experience

Turn a stamp into a moment.

Official stamps at the pro shop, a recognition board on the wall, and passport celebrations for first pars and birdies — the stuff kids remember for life.

Why Facilities Join

More families in your area. More rounds on your tee sheet.

Parents are already using the free Kids Golf Passport. Being listed puts your facility in front of the families near you who are looking for somewhere to bring their kid.

Get found by local parents

Show up on the Approved Locations map and in ZIP-code searches the moment a family nearby starts looking for a kid friendly course.

Fill your junior programs

Every camp, clinic, league, and junior event you run gets pushed into the program feed parents see in their area.

Families follow your facility

Parents follow your profile, so your next junior event or family tee time announcement reaches them directly.

Kids ask to come back

You stamp passports at the pro shop. Every visit becomes a milestone a child wants to repeat — and a repeat visit is a repeat family.

A round is never just one player

A junior golfer brings a parent, often a sibling, usually the snack bar. Winning the kid wins the whole group.

Word of mouth that scales

Golf families in our network connect with each other. One great Saturday morning travels fast through a local parent group.

Parent-Ready Profile

A profile that shows parents your course.

Every enrolled facility gets a parent-facing profile so families can see how you welcome juniors — junior tee-time value and every kids program you offer.

  • Junior tee-time pricing and value information for parents
  • Every junior program you offer — Operation 36, PGA Jr. League, camps, clinics, and more
  • Listed on the Kid Friendly map so parents nearby can find and follow you

Get Recognized

Your facility is listed on the Kid Friendly map and recognized as a Kid Friendly Approved Course.
