North Jersey Youth Can Golf for $5 or less with BofA Program

For a second year, Bank of America's "Golf with Us" initiative provides access to local golf courses for $5 or less per round

Bank of America and Youth on Course are offering North Jersey kids access to $5 rounds of golf through the “Golf with Us” program. Kids ages 6-18 can enroll in a free, one-year membership to Youth on Course until June 15.

Now in its second year, Golf with Us aims to make golf accessible and affordable, encouraging young players to learn a new sport while gaining important life skills. Last year, over 2,000 NJ kids and nearly 100,000 young players nationwide enrolled in the program, many of whom were first-time golfers.

“Golf is a great way for New Jersey kids to get outside, make new friends, and build confidence,” said Alberto Garofalo, president, Bank of America New Jersey. “We saw thousands of young players sign up for Golf with Us in New Jersey last summer, and we’re pleased to offer the chance for more New Jersey youth to make memories and learn life skills on and off the course.”
