Summer Sessions Overview
Onsite classes: Our core onsite programs meet once a week, for six weeks, and teach or develop each child’s golf skills. In addition, each week our trained coaches focus on a different aspect of character or leadership development, and how it applies on and off the course. Through thought-provoking questions, interactive games, and engaging golf exercises, we design each lesson to help kids build a better understanding of themselves and empower them to strengthen the parts of them that they take to everything they do.
Game Changers Camp: Our summer Game Changers Camp takes all the fun of our six-week classes and delivers it in a four-day camp. In addition to learning fundamentals of golf, your child will be introduced to our character education and life skills programs that help kids and teens prepare for success at school, at home and in their community. Lessons are offered, in a fun, activity-based, group setting with trained coaches.
Game Changers Clinic: These 90 minute clinics introduce kids to what First Tee is all about. Just like in our weekly classes, your child will work on learning or refining golf fundamentals and explore developing their character, resilience, self-confidence, and inner strength.
LPGA*USGA Girls Golf sessions: These two hour sessions will introduce girls to golf in a fun atmosphere surrounded by new friends! Our goal is to empower the girls to be confident, have positive self-esteem and live active and healthy lives, while learning or perfecting the game of golf. Along with our core First Tee lessons, participants will gain a deeper understanding of The Five E’s of Girls Golf: Enrich, Energize, Empower, Engage and Exercise.
New to First Tee? Click here for a few things to keep in mind.
- All classes are age-based. Participants are grouped by age, regardless of golf background or previous experience.
- If your child has a birthday during the session, register for the class of the age they will turn. For example: Jake is 9 now, but turns 10 in July. You may sign him up for the Ages 10-12 class.
- No equipment needed! We supply everything your child will need. If they have their own clubs, please bring them, but make sure to label each club with their name in case it is left behind.
- No child is ever turned away due to an inability to pay. Financial aid is always available! Select this option during registration.

Classes are subject to change and additional classes may open. Please note: All classes are age-based. Instruction is for the beginner to the advanced golfer.
