We teach golf skills and "life skills" to kids, ages 7 – 18. Classes are held once a week, every week, for 8 weeks during the spring, 8 weeks each summer, 6 weeks during the fall, and 8 weeks each winter. They typically last 2-3 hours, with the exception of our TARGET introductory classes for participants 5-6 years old.

No students under 5 years old will be accepted into the program. Birth Certificates may be requested at class.

Your Participation Has Been Subsidized

The First Tee of Greater Seattle seeks to make the game of golf and its inherent life skills affordable and accessible to anyone who wants to participate. For this reason your annual registration fees have been subsidized by our program through fundraisers, grants, corporations and individual donations. Your registration fee provides the following services:

• 2 hrs of weekly instruction for 8 weeks in the spring
• 2 hrs of weekly instruction for 8 weeks in the summer
• 2 hrs of weekly instruction for 4 weeks in the fall
• Golf course access during and outside of programming hours at three golf courses
• Access to practice facilities including the driving range
• Access to golf equipment on a weekly basis
• Trips to a local PGA Champions Tour Event
• Opportunities for national trips and college scholarships

The full cost to The First Tee Program for your child to participate is $500/participant. We request that if you are able to pay more than the subsidized annual registration fee, please make a tax deductible gift. More than 33% of our participants are on full scholarship to cover the cost of the registration fee. Your donation will allow us to serve more youth who may not otherwise be able to participate.

Cancellation Policy

The First Tee of Greater Seattle doesn't provide refunds. The classes are heavily subsidized and cost $500 to provide to each participating young person. We charge a nominal enrollment/membership fee to pay for the administrative costs associated with membership. If your child has not yet attended any classes and will not be attending any classes for the duration of the calendar year, we will provide a tax deductible acknowledgement letter for your fee as a charity donation to the program.
