Several courses in the Myrtle Beach area are taking part in a program over the next year that will likely help build a customer base in the market for decades to come.
Bank of America partnered with the Youth on Course nonprofit to launch its ‘Golf with Us’ program last week, which offers juniors ages 6-18 access to rounds for only $5, and several Grand Strand courses are participating to attract young players to the links.
Participating area courses include The Hackler Course at Coastal Carolina, Aberdeen Country Club, Founders Club at Pawleys Island, Myrtle Beach National Golf Club’s West and Southcreek courses, Sea Trail Golf Club’s Byrd, Jones and Maples courses, and The Links at Brick Landing.
Catering to youth is nothing new to the market.
For decades, area courses have offered a ‘Kids Play Free’ program that allows children, generally under the age of 17, to play free with a paying adult. Accessibility is offered at different times of year and times of day depending on the course.
