Welcome!

First Tee is a youth development organization that seamlessly integrates the game of golf with a life skills curriculum, creating active learning experiences that build inner strength, self-confidence, and resilience that kids can carry to everything they do. Building Game Changers through golf.

Advancing through the First – Tee Louisville Program

Ages 6-9

Learn to play golf and have fun with peers in a safe, welcoming, and encouraging environment. At First Tee – Louisville, your child will not only develop inner strength and self-confidence, but also practice our Five Key Commitments (honoring the game, pursuing goals, growing through challenges, building positive relationships, and serving their community). Through these lessons, they’ll build skills that last a lifetime, both on and off the course.

Ages 10-13

Your child will develop golf skills and enthusiasm for the game while we encourage positive, game-changing behaviors. They’ll explore character concepts in active, collaborative ways that build values both on and off the course, while providing opportunities that support the growth and development of early adolescents, helping them gain confidence, strengthen relationships, and embrace challenges.

Ages 14+

Preparing for the future. Teens build personal leadership skills, set meaningful goals, and take ownership of their own paths. They learn to evaluate, reflect, and apply life and golf skills to new challenges; growing both as players and as individuals. With expanded on-course experience and opportunities to broaden their golf knowledge, participants deepen their understanding of the game while preparing for success in school, careers, and life beyond the course.
