Grandfathers For Golf, based in San Jacinto, CA, is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to teaching underprivileged children (and all others) how to play the game of golf, which promotes fellowship, health, discipline, and sportsmanship. We work with school districts to arrange busing to participating golf courses, primarily Golden Era Golf Course in San Jacinto, and Echo Hills Golf Course in Hemet. We also work with the Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) and its Youth on Course program.

Grandfathers For Golf Fundraiser Golf Outings Weekly!
Starting Wednesday, September 17, at 7 a.m., Grandfathers For Golf, the nonprofit charity that teaches kids to golf for free, is going to be holding weekly fundraiser golf outings at Golden Era Golf Course in San Jacinto. The cost to play is $25, which includes 18 holes of golf and a golf cart. The clubhouse will be open, and the coffee will be hot!
This is a great way to enjoy the game of golf while supporting the free program for the kids. The Grandfathers program, which has been active in the Hemet/San Jacinto area for decades, holds teaching sessions all year long. Kids get a free set of golf clubs along with hats and shirts and personalized instruction.
(Golden Era will be closed during the month of October for reseeding, but the Wednesday golf outings will resume in November and run indefinitely.)
