MONTEREY, CALIF. - Bank of America is once again making golf accessible for young players in the Monterey, Santa Cruz, and San Benito County region with the return of its ‘Golf with Us!’ program.  Building on a successful first year, the BofA program with local nonprofit Youth on Course offers free, one-year memberships to local golf courses and $5 rounds of golf to kids ages 6-18. 

Last year, hundreds of kids from the tri-county region joined the Golf With Us program and played more than 1,00 rounds. Last month, kids from Boys & Girls Clubs and First Tee joined retired 49er and avid golf player, Jeff Garcia to learn golf and life lessons.  

Key Points:

·       Kids ages 6-18 are encouraged to enroll in a free, one-year membership to Youth on Course, courtesy of Bank of America.

·       Enrollment for new members is open until June 15, 2026 at BofA.com/GolfwithUs.

·       Golf with Us includes access to select golf courses for $5 or less per round. The full list is available at YouthOnCourse.org.

·       Bank of America launched Golf with Us in partnership with Youth on Course to expand affordable access to golf nationwide. 

·       Last year, Golf with Us helped nearly 100,000 young people nationwide – including many first-time golfers – experience the transformative power of the sport.
