West Virginia State Parks has announced a new partnership with Youth on Course, a non-profit organization aimed at making golf more affordable for youth across the state, say state officials.
Cacapon State Park is one of three courses to be part of the pilot partnership, along with Pipestem Resort State Park and Twin Falls Resort State Park. 
“We partnered with Youth on Course to provide youth affordable access to our golf courses and to stimulate their interest in the game,” said Dillard Price, Acting Chief of West Virginia State Parks. “The partnership provides young adults with an affordable opportunity to play our courses at a discounted rate. It’s about accessibility, affordability and creating lifelong players.”
Youth on Course is a nonprofit provides young people with opportunities to golf by offering rounds for $5 or less at more than 2,200 courses across the United States, Canada, and Australia.
In West Virginia, Youth on Course membership has grown significantly in recent years, highlighting the growing demand for affordable access to the game, say state officials.
“We are proud to partner with West Virginia State Parks to expand access to the sport across the state,” said Michael Lowe, Head of Impact at Youth on Course. “The addition of these courses to our membership network removes the barrier of cost – empowering young athletes to enjoy the sport, develop their skills and create life-changing opportunities.”
Organizers say since 2006, Youth on Course has provided more than 4.5 million subsidized rounds of golf for youth throughout the United States, Canada, and Australia.
Rounds can be scheduled at each of the parks individually.
