Why Golf?

Experiences are our greatest teacher. First Tee believes in developing experiences that are just as fun as they are meaningful. Through the program kids and teens build self-confidence, inspiring more active participation in leadership opportunities and events, community involvement, and college scholarships. First Tee offers scholarships to families in need of financial assistance.

Our Programs

At First Tee – Orange County, we’re Building Game Changers by empowering kids and teens to be the best version of themselves.

Participants (ages 4-18) progress through the program over time, deepening their understanding of life skills and golf development. By seamlessly integrating the game of golf with character-building, we create learning experiences that help kids uncover their inner strength, self-confidence, and resilience that they can carry to everything they do.

Our trained coaches not only provide an introduction to junior golf and an opportunity to enhance golf skills, but they also create a safe, supportive, and empowering environment to help your child prepare for life ahead, including friendships, school, college and even their careers.

Through our program, kids will learn skills that stay with them for life:

  • Understanding and managing emotions
  • Resolving conflicts
  • Setting up step-by-step goals
  • Planning for the future
  • Appreciating diversity
  • Golf fundamentals and advanced techniques
