Since 1997, Ace Kids Golf has had over 3000 inner-city youths participate from the City of Oakland's Office of Parks and Recreation, the Oakland Unified School District (OUSD), and various social service organizations. Ace Kids Golf provides multi-level instruction, including Ace Girls in Golf, which are female-only classes conducted at the beginner level. Additionally, Ace Kids Golf offers life skills lessons taught by a sports psychologist intern from the John F. Kennedy School of Psychology. Golf lessons are offered throughout the year at Lake Chabot, Montclair, and Metropolitan Golf Courses.

The Ace Kids Golf Training Program offers participants, ages 9 thru 17, four different levels of golf education and instruction. Click here to download the Summer 2008 Ace Kids Golf Schedule.
