Evergreen Golf Club Scholarship

On behalf of the Evergreen Golf Club (EGC), 12 juniors will be awarded an annual scholarship (valid through September, with a value of $500 per month) to train and practice at the facility. Junior members will meet Mondays and Wednesdays from 4:00-7:00pm, and have “open gym” on Saturdays from 8:00-10:00am. 6 juniors will be selected in the 13u group (age 9-13), and 6 in the 17u group (age 14-17). Juniors do need transportation to the Redmond facility for their visits.

About the Evergreen Golf Club

Evergreen Golf Club started with a passion for golf. Here in the Pacific Northwest, our golf season is limited due to weather, so we did something about it. We had a vision to modernize the culture of the game and create a year-round community of golfers in the greater Seattle area. Evergreen Golf Club (EGC) is a state-of-the-art indoor golf facility that provides you with the same tools and technology available to practice like your favorite Tour Pro. Train, practice, and play all year at Evergreen Golf Club.
