First Tee builds experiences that build character!

First Tee Four Corners is a youth development organization that enables kids to build the strength of character that empowers them through a lifetime of new challenges. 

By seamlessly integrating the game of golf with a life skills curriculum, we create active learning experiences that build values like inner strength, self-confidence and resilience that kids can carry to everything they do. 

What We Do:

  • Junior Golf Programs: Coaching, mentoring, and shaping the next generation of golfers and leaders.
  • Girls Golf Programs: A supportive space for girls to learn, grow, and build friendships on the course.
  • Programs for Golfers with Special Needs: Making golf accessible, adaptive, and inclusive for everyone.
  • Veterans’ Support Programs: Using golf as a way to connect, support, and celebrate our veterans.
  • School Programs: Bringing golf and life skills directly to schools through our award-winning curriculum.
  • Community Partnerships: Collaborating with Boys & Girls Clubs and Big Brothers Big Sisters to reach and impact more youth.

Our work at First Tee is not about improving your golf score....it's about strengthening what you bring to everything you do, including golf.
