Kids Golf has both an LLC component and a Foundation side.
Kids Golf was founded in 1997 by Dan Van Horn.
In 2002, Local Tours for kids were started, with the first being staged in Atlanta, Georgia.
Also that year, the World Championship was moved to Williamsburg, Virginia.
Kids Golf Teen World Championship was held in Naples, Florida, and the World Championship was moved to Pinehurst, North Carolina.
The name was changed to Longleaf Golf & Family Club with the intent of being a “Living Lab” for "best practices" in how to serve members.
