The mission of U.S. Kids Golf is to help kids have fun
learning the lifelong game of golf and to encourage family
interaction that builds lasting memories.
U.S. Kids Golf was started in January, 1997, as a solution
to the problem its founder, Dan Van Horn, had when getting
his kids into golf. His children, ages 3 and 6, were enthusiastic
at first, but their interest quickly dropped.
"They weren't having fun," Van Horn recalls.
"It seemed that they lost interest after only 15 minutes.
At the time, I didn't know cutoffs and junior clubs were so
heavy. They were not only hurting my kids' swings, but also
their desire to play."
That's when Dan Van Horn began developing Ultralight Kidsklubs,
designed to be 25% lighter than adult and most junior clubs,
and formed the company U.S. Kids Golf.
Since then, parents and pros across the country and around
the world have seen the incredible difference Ultralight and
Performance Light Kidsklubs have made in their child's
swing and enthusiasm for the game.
Ultralight and Performance Light Kidsklubs are changing the
way kids learn and enjoy the game of golf. Once in your child's
hands, you'll understand why.
Dan Van Horn launched the U.S. Kids Golf World Championship.
It stemmed from his idea to “have kids play together
at one course.” The event, now in its eighth year, is
the world’s largest golf tournament for children 12 and
under.
About 1,175 players — 836 boys and 339 girls —
from the U.S. and 32 other countries will vie for titles in
12 divisions. There are seven age groups for the boys, starting
with the 6-and-under division,
and five age groups for the girls, starting with the 8-and-under
division. Tees are moved closer to the hole to make scoring
comparable to pro players.
Florida Golf Course has added a list of kid and family friendly
Florida golf courses. If we have left one out, or another
U.S. Kid friendly Florida golf course has been added, please

help.
