Long Island kids gain affordable golf access through Bank of America

Posted

Bank of America is expanding access to golf for Long Island children this summer through its Golf with Us program, which provides free memberships and low-cost playing opportunities for young golfers.

The initiative offers children ages 6 to 18 a free one-year membership to Youth on Course, giving them access to participating golf courses for $5 or less per round. Enrollment is open through June 15.

Since the program launched in 2025, more than 1,600 Long Island children have enrolled, while more than 150,000 young people nationwide have signed up through the partnership between Bank of America and Youth on Course.

New this year, participants can also receive a free lesson from a PGA professional and rent indoor golf simulators for $5 at Golf Galaxy in Bay Shore.

“Golf with Us creates new opportunities for young people on Long Island to explore the game of golf while building essential life skills,” Marc Perez, president of Bank of America Long Island, said. “By engaging our community and increasing access to the transformative power of sports, this partnership makes it possible for more youth to succeed on and off the course.”

Bank of America launched Golf with Us in partnership with Youth on Course to make the sport more affordable and accessible to young players, including many who are experiencing golf for the first time.

Children interested in participating can enroll through June 15 at BofA.com/GolfwithUs.
