Golf Canada Excited To Offer Youth On Course Across British Columbia

Youth on Course enables juniors to golf for $5 or less at participating locations across Canada, further breaking down the accessibility barrier in golf. Golf Canada is excited to offer Youth on Course across British Columbia, and we want you to be involved!

This isn’t just any day on the course. We’re challenging you (or your team) to play 100 holes in one day—on foot! Why? Because we’re raising money and awareness for Youth on Course, a program that makes golf accessible to youth across British Columbia by subsidizing rounds in your community. But we can’t do it without your help!

BURNABY, B.C. (September 25) - A super summer for Julia Alexander-Carew looks like it’s going to be followed by a fabulous fall.

Her players were just returning to campus after the summer break and Schaus had to get both teams organized and ready to compete.

She also had a big event to organize — SFU’s own True North Classic, which will welcome 19 teams and 113 players to Riverway Golf Course in Burnaby on Sept. 23 and 24.
