Bank of America has announced the return of Golf with Us, a program offering children ages 6-18 access to golf rounds for $5 or less through free Youth on Course memberships across 97 markets nationwide. In its inaugural year, the initiative attracted nearly 100,000 participants from all 50 states, Washington D.C., and Puerto Rico, with over 22,000 female participants among them. The 2026 goal is to enroll 150,000 children.
Reigning Masters Champion Rory McIlroy has donated $500,000 to Youth on Course to fund approximately 70,000 additional rounds. New benefits for 2026 include $5 golf simulator rentals and complimentary PGA Pro lessons at Golf Galaxy and DICK’s House of Sport locations. Bank of America will also conduct free clinics across 25 markets featuring golf celebrities and professional athletes.
The program remains free for the first 150,000 new enrollees before June 15, 2026, with returning participants eligible for 20% renewal discounts. The 2026 marketing campaign reimagines iconic Masters moments featuring program participants.
