ORLANDO, Fla. …Marriott Golf, one of the world’s premier golf operators, is once again reaching out to families all over the world and promoting “togetherness in golf.”
Marriott Golf announced its second annual International Family Golf Festival program, a year long series of one day family golf events taking place at 31 leading Marriott Golf managed destinations throughout the world.
Commencing on May 16, the Marriott International Family Golf Festival, which encourages parents and children to learn and play the game together, invites families to Marriott Golf properties for an afternoon of FREE golf instruction, clinics, fun activities, interactive golf games, family golf programs, a chance to win a variety of prizes, and more. Last year, it was estimated that more than 5,000 family participants took part in this exciting program.
In addition, after 3 p.m., families and children can play golf for free as part of Marriott Golf’s “Kids Golf-4-Free” program where an estimated 10,000 parents and children participate in this program each year.

“We are thrilled to bring the highly successful Family Golf Festival back to our premier properties throughout the world,” said Claye Atcheson, Vice President of Marriott Golf. “We have always placed strong emphasis on family fun here at Marriott, and now is the perfect time to invite families to spend a day together enjoying free activities and learning more about the great game of golf.”
The Marriott International Family Golf Festival is another effort by Marriott to promote family golf. In 2005, Marriott Golf launched “Kids Golf-4-Free,” a first-of-its-kind program that enables kids up to 15 years old to golf for free when accompanied by a full paying adult after 3 p.m. In addition, Marriott Golf also offers free lessons anytime to kids up to 15 years old when accompanied by an adult who is taking a fully paid lesson from a Marriott Golf instructor. This program, which is available at some of Marriott Golf’s most prestigious resort destinations worldwide, was complemented in 2007 by the “Kids Rent-4-Free” program, which provides kids 15 years old and under with a free rental set of Accu-Length clubs when they participate in the “Kids Golf-4-Free” program.
