The KidsNGolf Experience
KidsNGolf Arkansas is about more than learning to play golf. It combines learning the game of golf with learning how to be great at life.
We want each of our young people to love the game of golf. But more importantly, using golf as a platform, we teach and model the values and life skills necessary to lead an exceptional life. Golf is truly a microcosm of living. Having the chance to experience the challenges and rewards of the game on the course, players learn to apply and appreciate the significance of those disciplines and lessons in their daily lives.

Our Vision
To introduce life-changing principles, disciplines and personal confidence in
the lives of young people through the
teaching and playing of the game of golf.
It's About the Kids.
Our Mission
Create a team of community and corporate partners committed to providing opportunities for learning and playing golf which will bring about change in young people, families, schools, and communities utilizing the values inherent in the game of golf.
KidsNGolf offers young people the chance to benefit from a model that has been successful in every part of the country. By emphasizing and teaching the fundamental values of golf, KidsNGolf has shown consistent success in reaching goals that go far beyond the teaching of golf. Coaches not only give golf instruction - they also provide important mentoring and modeling in life skills, values, and disciplines which help young people grow into healthier, more successful and confident people as they mature. * Reduced drug and alcohol abuse * Healthy outdoor recreation and less youth obesity * Lower teen pregnancy rates * Reduced high school drop-out numbers * Increase in the numbers of young people that go on to college and other forms of post-high school training and/or job skill certification. When young people play golf, their lives are enriched as they improve. Kids play the game and learn the value of integrity, health, respect, hard work, self-control, and confidence as well as learn to love a game they will play for the rest of their lives.
