Go the distance with us!

We’ve all heard it before—golf is a dying sport. A lifelong game that teaches patience, honesty, etiquette, and camaraderie is slowly declining. Video games and apps are beating out a sport that provides fresh air and exercise to young girls and boys in a relaxing environment. Most importantly, the rising cost of green fees makes it difficult to offer this game to younger generations.

But, what if green fees didn’t exist for junior golfers? What if every junior golfer in Wichita could access any public course for free? A group of friends who know the positive impact golf can have on younger generations intend to make this happen. Wichita Golf Marathon’s mission is to support junior golfers in our local community by offering free green fees at public golf courses in Wichita and the surrounding areas. Regardless of the circumstances of the junior golfer, we will pay the green fee!

Prior to our inaugural Golf Marathon in 2018, there were minimal rounds of golf played by juniors at Wichita City Public Courses. Since then, we have paid for more than 6,500 rounds for junior golfers!

The Golf Marathon doesn’t just make golf free for juniors, it is making golf more accessible and growing the game.
