Where college students go for golf

Start the School Year with Affordable Golf

By Travis Richardson

For students, heading back to school means buying books, paying tuition, finding school supplies, and moving into a new apartment/dorm. Money is a premium, leaving very little change for extracurricular activities.

Enter Nextgengolf and the NCCGA. This year all NCCGA club golf team members will receive a Nextgengolf Collegiate membership as part of their club's team dues (last semester only 12 memberships were allotted per team). The affordable golf membership helps students save an average of $20 per round at more than 700 golf courses across the country.

All students in the Nextgengolf online portal that have completed their online profiles will receive an affordable golf membership. Complete your profile by logging-in to Nextgengolf, selecting "Edit Profile", and complete all the information. If you haven't been invited, send me (Travis@nccga.org) or your club president an email and we will add you to the team's roster.

If you have never used the Nextgengolf Collegiate membership before, follow these simple steps to unlock an average savings of $20 per round at more than 700 golf courses across the country.
