CDGA and Youth On Course 100 Hole Hike

Join the Chicago District Golf Association (CDGA) this fall for the 2026 Hundred Hole Hike and take on the challenge of walking and playing 100 holes of golf in a single day to support Youth on Course throughout the Chicago District.

Through the CDGA, Youth on Course provides affordable access to the game by allowing young people ages 6–18 to play golf for just $5 at participating courses across the region. Last year alone, more than 11,000 junior golfers enjoyed nearly 35,000 rounds at 60+ participating courses—creating opportunities for young people to develop confidence, character, and a lifelong love of the game.

You can help make even more rounds possible.

Join us on Sunday, October 18, at the renowned The Evans at Canal Shores in Evanston for an unforgettable day of endurance, camaraderie, and purpose. Last year, 16 dedicated hikers accepted the challenge. This year, we're looking to grow our team and expand our impact.

Participants are encouraged to raise $1,000 or more, with every dollar helping provide affordable golf opportunities for local youth.

Ready to take the first step? Contact Rob Dauphinais at the CDGA to learn more, register, or ask any questions. Together, we can ensure that every young golfer has the opportunity to play, learn, and thrive.
