City Parks Foundation will continue offering age-based First Tee programming in 2023. The First Tee is a nationwide youth development organization impacting the lives of young people by providing educational programs that build character, instill life-enhancing values and promote healthy choices through the game of golf. Students will be grouped by age levels (7-9, 10-11, 12-13, and 14+), and progress to the next course when they advance to the next age level. Once the class begins, students will be grouped based on their experience and ability.
