West Virginia State Parks Announces New Youth Golf Program

CHARLESTON, WV (LOOTPRESS) –  West Virginia State Parks today announced a new partnership with Youth on Course to make golf more affordable for youth across the state.

The agreement includes three state park golf courses: Cacapon Resort State Park, Pipestem Resort State Park, and Twin Falls Resort State Park. Golf rounds can be booked by walk-in or by calling the course.

“We partnered with Youth on Course to provide youth affordable access to our golf courses and to stimulate their interest in the game,” said Dillard Price, Acting Chief of West Virginia State Parks. “The partnership provides young adults with an affordable opportunity to play our courses at a discounted rate. It’s about accessibility, affordability and creating lifelong players.”

Youth on Course is a nonprofit dedicated to providing young people with life-changing opportunities through golf by offering rounds for $5 or less at more than 2,200 courses across the United States, Canada, and Australia. In West Virginia, Youth on Course membership has grown significantly in recent years, highlighting the growing demand for affordable access to the game.

“We are proud to partner with West Virginia State Parks to expand access to the sport across the state,” said Michael Lowe, Head of Impact at Youth on Course. “The addition of these courses to our membership network removes the barrier of cost – empowering young athletes to enjoy the sport, develop their skills and create life-changing opportunities. This partnership is the latest step in our efforts to make golf accessible to more youth than ever before.” 

Since its inception in 2006, Youth on Course has provided more than 4.5 million subsidized rounds of golf for youth throughout the United States, Canada, and Australia through this innovative program.
