Our Programs

At First Tee, we believe the best lessons are learned through experience. Our golf-based programs help kids and teens build confidence, resilience, and leadership—skills that carry far beyond the course.

Our coaches are the heart of it all, creating safe, fun, and encouraging spaces for every participant to grow. Join us for experiences that inspire kids ages 5–17 to become the best versions of themselves.

What Makes First Tee Different?

At First Tee, we’re not just teaching golf — we’re teaching life.
Our programs use the game as a powerful tool to help young people grow in confidence, build resilience, and develop character that lasts far beyond the course.

By blending hands-on golf experiences with a proven life skills curriculum, kids learn how to set goals, handle challenges, and lead with integrity — all while having fun and building lasting friendships.

We’re more than a junior golf program. We’re a movement to Build Game Changers — shaping the next generation of strong, compassionate, and confident leaders.
