Organization participated in the annual Youth on Course online auction to raise funds for youth golf access

December 12, 2024 - Tee Times USA, a premier golf trip package booking service/company, today announced its continued support of Youth on Course via a golf trip package giveaway at the 2024 Youth on Course Online Auction. The annual event raises funds to further the organization’s mission of providing youth with access to life-changing opportunities through golf.

Tee Times USA donated an Orlando Golf Getaway valued at $3,500. The trip included a three-night stay at Global Vacation Homes in a gorgeous and accommodating five-bedroom home; and golf for four players at Orlando’s top courses including the stunning Shingle Creek and an experience like no other at Walt Disney World Golf.

“This organization supports the very spirit of what Tee Times USA represents—introducing golf to an entirely new audience,” said Marc Bender, Managing Partner of Tee Times USA on behalf of himself and fellow Managing Partner Adam Wachter. “We believe in building a love for golf in youth and allowing them to use that love to catapult a bright future full of opportunities. Youth on Course perfectly aligns with our values and our hope for the future of golf as well as our youth.”

Youth on Course makes this possible by ensuring members have access to play rounds of golf for $5 or less, while also offering opportunities to succeed through college scholarships, mentorships, internships, and leadership development, all while forging lifelong connections.

The impact that Youth on Course has is evident in its numbers. As of 2024, the organization serves more than 240,000 members with access to rounds of golf for $5 or less; partners with more than 2,100 courses (including some of the most well-known such as Spyglass Hill at Pebble Beach and The Cradle at Pinehurst).

“We are grateful for strong supporters like Tee Times USA who help make it possible to provide more youth with access to this great sport,” said Youth on Course Chief Marketing Officer Steve Martin. “We look forward to working with them in the years ahead to continue to provide life-changing opportunities both on and off the course.”

The 2025 Youth on Course Online Auction will take place from November 9-12, 2025. Visit https://youthoncourse.org/online-auction to learn more.

Bender continued, “Our support of young golfers is always a priority, and we could not be more proud to provide a getaway to Orlando to stay and play at a few of the most popular and beloved options in our portfolio of golf and lodging partners.”
