The First Tee of Phoenix is a non-profit organization created for the purpose of providing affordable access to golf and golf learning facilities for young people -particularly those who otherwise might not have an opportunity to play.
Besides the mission of teaching young people how to play golf, The First Tee of Phoenix also has a strong character development component - the Life Skills Experience. Life Skills is one of the unique features differentiating our organization from other successful junior golf programs.
Membership and classes are for youth ages 7-17 years old. The First Tee of Phoenix offers a $60 annual membership - making this one of the most affordable sport programs you can enroll your child in. The coaches - most are volunteer - are top notch. And the program organizes additional outing to places like the Science Center, picnics in the park, Water Park summer activities, golf clinics with PGA professionals, and more.
Our son has participated for the last three years (from the age of 9). He has grown, not only in his love of the sport, but also in his peer leadership skills. I highly recommend this program!
We attend the South Phoenix branch (with it's own 9-hole course), but the program has partnerships with the City of Phoenix and its municipal courses throughout the Valley making it easy to find a location near you.
