NORTHBROOK, Illinois– KemperSports, a leading golf, sports and hospitality company, announced today the dates of its third annual KemperSports Youth Golf Week.
Scheduled to take place July 21-27 across KemperSports’ family of facilities nationwide, KemperSports Youth Golf Week will feature discounted and exclusive tee times, golf clinics, instructional events, special giveaways, contests and more for young players (through age 16).
Once again, Roger Steele — youth golf advocate and KemperSports Community Advisor for the #MakeGolfCool Initiative — is helping spearhead the program. Properties, participants and their families will be encouraged to share their KemperSports Youth Golf Week experience on social media by tagging @kempersports and using #MakeGolfCool.
Select content will be featured on kempersports.com/growthegame and on KemperSports’ social channels to celebrate the week’s festivities and inspire others to get involved.
“KemperSports Youth Golf Week is one of the most exciting weeks of the year as we celebrate our commitment to growing the game through fun and engaging programming for youth golfers,” said KemperSports CEO Steve Skinner. “Roger Steele is a tremendous advocate for youth golf, and we are grateful to partner with him, once again.”
According to the National Golf Foundation’s (NGF) 2025 Graffis Report, there were more on-course youth golfers (3.7 million) in 2024 than any year since 2006 – a trend that continues to expand.
Notably, this player segment (ages 6-17) has experienced the largest on-course participation gains of any age group since 2019 (+48%) and is proportionally more diverse (females and minorities) than the broader green-grass golf population.
“From my own life experiences, I’m a big believer that golf has an incredible power to positively impact the trajectory of your life. And I feel like every time we introduce a kid to the game, we’re ultimately helping their life, which is why initiatives like KemperSports Youth Golf Week are so important,” said Steele. “As a community, we have a great opportunity to bring the game of golf and all it has to teach and offer to kids everywhere.
“I couldn’t be more excited to be running it back with my KemperSports family and use Youth Golf Week to truly help shape and impact the future of the game.”
While using his social platforms to spread the word about Youth Golf Week opportunities at KemperSports courses nationwide to new and avid junior golfers across his growing network of followers, Steele will help host a youth clinic at Bolingbrook Golf Club on Wednesday, July 23.
In addition to the exciting opportunities, KemperSports is partnering with Uncrustables to make the game more welcoming and fun for young golfers. Uncrustables will be showcasing their products at select participating locations with a beloved on-course snack for youth golfers.
Their presence will help to create an engaging and family-friendly atmosphere while introducing more kids to the game we love. KemperSports is thrilled to have their support as we continue to grow Youth Golf Week.
