The Indian River Golf Foundation (IRGF) exists to do more than teach the game—we inspire purpose, build character, and open doors through golf.

Rooted in the rich traditions of the sport and driven by bold new beginnings, IRGF offers inclusive, affordable programs that empower players of all ages and skill levels. From first swings to elite competition, our Training, Practice, and Competition (TPC) model ensures every participant has a pathway to grow—on and off the course.

Three Pathways. One Mission.

IRGF’s programs meet young golfers where they are and guide them toward success through:

• Players On-Course – Hands-on coaching, clinics, and competitive opportunities.
• Players On-Tour – Advanced training and tournament access for junior golfers.
• Players On-Line – Our Virtual Golf Academy (VGA), offering innovative online training.

Through mentorship from PGA/LPGA professionals, dedicated volunteers, and our own IRGF Player Cadets, young golfers develop not just skills, but values that last a lifetime. 

Across all programs, IRGF builds well-rounded athletes through our Five Pillars:

• Golf Skills – Mastering fundamentals and technique.
• Course Management – Strategic thinking and decision-making.
• Rules & Etiquette – Integrity, sportsmanship, and respect for the game.
• Leadership & Life Skills – Confidence, teamwork, and personal growth.
• Self-Care – Mental resilience, fitness, and wellness.

Why does it matter?

Because golf is more than a game—it’s a gateway to opportunity, mentorship, and lifelong success. IRGF equips the next generation with the tools to thrive—not just as golfers, but as confident leaders, teammates, and individuals prepared for life.

Whether you’re picking up a club for the first time or chasing your next level, IRGF is here to help you grow in the game and thrive in life.
