One community. Three ways to play.
Pards San Diego promotes golf across our city — pairing kids with mentors, running premier tournaments, and bringing people together at community events. Everyone deserves a pard on the course.
Youth golf mentoring, tournaments & community in San Diego
A San Diego nonprofit promoting golf to diverse youth and mentoring players of all ages — with competitive tournaments and community events that fund and grow the mission.
Youth Mentoring
Pairing kids with adult golfer-mentors for range time and real rounds — a welcoming way into the game for families who never had one.
Premier Tournaments
Competitive events that showcase San Diego's players — two majors and six standard tournaments a year.
Business Mingle & Community
Networking golf and community get-togethers — a tournament, a scramble, a poker night, or a watch party.
Old golf (and cowboy) slang for your partner: the one you share the round with. At Pards San Diego, every player gets one — a mentor in their corner, on and off the course.
A welcoming way into junior golf in San Diego
Plenty of San Diego families are deep into sports — but golf can feel like a closed door if no one at home plays. Our youth golf mentoring opens it, connecting kids with golfers who love the game and want to pass it on — no private lessons or country-club membership required.
For the kids
Range time and real rounds with a steady pard — learning the game, the etiquette, and the joy of it, without the cost of private lessons.
For sports families
You already do coaching, practice, and showing up. If golf is the one sport you can't teach your kid, we're the on-ramp.
For mentors
Experienced golfers donate their time to make kids feel important — and to grow the game they love in their own community.
The season
Two majors and six standard tournaments a year — competitive golf that showcases the best players in San Diego and helps fund the youth mission.
Nancy's Tournament
One of our two marquee events of the year.
San Diego Championship
The season showcase — crowning the best players in the city.
Plus six standard tournaments through the year, with scrambles and partner-league events as we grow. Full schedule & registration coming soon — players can log in here.
More than golf
The social side of Pards San Diego — events that bring members, mentors, families, and local businesses together. Some are on the course; some aren't.
Scrambles & mixers
Low-pressure golf to meet people and have fun — no handicap required.
Poker & social nights
Off-course get-togethers to keep the community connected year-round.
Watch parties
Majors, big matches, and local events — gather and cheer together.
Event calendar & RSVP coming soon.
