Friends of Foster Golf – Volunteer Opportunity

Quality customer service along with a value-added experience is a daily goal at Foster Golf Links. As Friends of Foster Golf Links, you will have one of the most recognizable “faces” to our customers. What we say, what we do, and how we interact with the public and enforce policies are vital to the overall success of the course.

In recognition of your time & efforts, Foster Golf Links provides the Friends of Foster Golf Links with reduced fees for golf and cart privileges and provides a merchandise discount during the time you are actively volunteering. Please keep in mind our public play and tournaments have priority use in all areas, as we must generate enough revenue to cover our operating expenditures.
