Fall Registration is currently open!

We offer a variety of programs throughout the year for youth: summer camps, weekly after school classes and Saturday classes, private and group lessons, and camps for youth with special needs.  Our classes and camps are for youth from four to seventeen years of age.  Our program is unique from many other golf programs because we are a youth development organization and we teach children life skills through the game of golf. The levels of our programs vary to allow youth to play the game recreationally or at a highly competitive level. Children that are part of our The First Tee program are given the opportunity to apply for national opportunities through The First Tee National Organization such as: college scholarships, leadership academies, The Future Leaders forum and many more.  We provide scholarships for camps and classes for children in need.

The First Tee Life Skills Experience

img

The First Tee Life Skills Experience is one of the unique features that differentiates The First Tee from many other successful junior golf programs.  Through the Life Skills Experience, participants learn valuable lessons about the importance of maintaining a positive attitude; how to make decisions by thinking about the possible consequences and how to define and set goals from the golf course to everyday life.
The First Tee Certification Process

The First Tee wants everyone who completes The First Tee Experience to have acquired basic golf skills and to be able to demonstrate certain fundamental life skill concepts – such as interpersonal communication and the importance of rules and etiquette.
