There is a lot happening at the course! Our On The Green initiative leverages golf and golf course space to advance our equity-focused pillars: community, access, and opportunity. We’re reimagining space use with inclusive programming for golfers and non-golfers alike. Check out our calendar of upcoming events.

Generous Community Donors
We could not make our free youth programming happen without the support of all of the restaurants and vendors who provide food for our campers. During our first two years of On the Green Summer Camps they shared cuisines from around the world and collectively provided more than 3,000 meals.
We also extend our appreciation to Maurice Ramirez Photography and Noah Graham of Infinity Photography for beautifully capturing camp memories, Alameda Golf Works for making it possible for us to provide every camper access to equipment to learn the game and expert PGA instructor Brad Marek for designing an engaging golf curriculum that’s getting our beginner golfers excited about improving their skills.
Thank you all for your generosity and community spirit!!
