Starting this spring we will transition from our current skill-based First Tee programming to an age-based format for all programs. 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.
Important Registration Information:
Ages 7-9

Ages 10-11
