We were fascinated by the 300+ responses we had (and a big thanks to all who filled out our survey). At Nextgengolf, our members are defining the game for 18-29 year-olds. Whether it’s an affordable college golf membership, an NCCGA Regional Tournament, or a Nextgen Summer City Golf Tournament, we are excited to help you get in the game! Our new website–www.nextgengolf.org–will officially launch on January 20th. This will be the hub for everything you need to know as an 18-29 year-old golfer.
