About the provider

First Tee is a youth development organization that integrates golf with a life skills curriculum. It works with youth centers like the YMCA and Boys and Girls Club and uses games that are flexible to the ages and abilities of the kids involved.

Classes are designed to accommodate new and returning golfers of the same age. Participants will register and be grouped by age and will progress through the program as they age up, with lessons adjusted to challenge players at their skill level. Spring, Summer, and Fall sessions each cost $95 for all 6 weeks of camp. Scholarship support is available. The criteria to qualify is similar to other assistance programs such as public school free and reduced lunch programs and other widely accepted youth programs. Pay what you can, when you can. Give back what you can, when you can.
