                                                      Welcome to Fairway Outreach

Fairway Outreach is a twenty-one year old junior golf program located at Northwoods Golf Club in Columbia, SC. We welcome youngsters from diverse backgrounds who want to play and enjoy the great game of golf.

Fairway Outreach has a longstanding relationship with The Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Hundreds of youngsters have attended The FCA Golf Camp over the last twenty years on scholarships from Fairway Outreach.

Fairway Outreach was initially funded through profits from The Columbia City Golf Tournament. The tournament has continued to help fund the program for the last twenty-one years.

                                                                    - Exciting News -

Fairway Outreach has a new clubhouse and short game practice area at Northwoods Golf Club. After much prayer and the generosity of many, the dream of having our own building has become a reality.

What started out as two acres of unused land at Northwoods and an abandoned portable school classroom, is now a sparkling new clubhouse and an outstanding new short game practice area. These two facilities, combined with the Northwoods driving range and golf course, give Fairway Outreach a comprehensive golf learning center.

Fairway Outreach Chairman Bobby Foster comments on these new facilities- "It took us twenty-two years to have our own facility, but God has truly blessed us with what we have now. Two years ago, when Greg McBride invited Fairway Outreach to make Northwoods our home, we had a vision for what we hoped to build, but we've ended up with something much grander than the original vision.”

The building is approximately 750 square feet and has a beautiful 350 square foot deck attached to it. In addition to a nice area for meetings and lounging around, there will be handicap accessible bathrooms, a refrigerator, a break area, and a golf fitness area. The short game practice area is shaped and grassed and will be ready for use sometime in August. The short game complex includes a 4000 square foot green, large sand and grass bunkers and ample chipping and pitching areas.
