Why Golf?

A Junior Membership is required to register for classes and tournaments. Members receive great benefits such as free rounds of golf, a First Tee – North Florida polo, discounted camp fees, special invitations, and more! Membership fee is $65 per participant and covers one calendar year (Jan.-Dec.).

These opportunities allow teens to elaborate on, apply, and extend developing ideas and skills of both golf and character through activities on and off the course. As teens learn more about who they are and what they are capable of, they can begin to look toward the future and plan their own paths.

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 into everything they do. Classes meet once per week for five weeks with each class lasting 1-1.5 hours.

We offer two types of after-school classes for students ages 7 and up: On-site classes at school properties through school Extended Day Departments; and Off-site classes at area golf locations with one-way transport from designated schools. Our trained coaches lead fun, engaging activities and games, through which students learn basic golf fundamentals along with an introduction to First Tee life skills concepts.  All equipment is provided.

First Tee – North Florida offers various tournaments throughout the year as part of a series. Points are collected from each tournament based on participation and standings. The tournaments are designed for participants to challenge themselves in a competitive environment while showcasing the skills learned in the seasonal classes.

The LPGA-USGA Girls Golf Program provides girls, ages 5-18, with the opportunity to learn golf, create friendships and experience competition in a supportive and fun environment. Girls not only learn how to play the game of golf but they discover life lessons that will help them face their future as confident and empowered individuals.

Children ages 7-15 can attend half-day camps (9am-12pm) at our Innovator’s Clubhouse at WGV on St. Johns County School District Student Holidays. The fee is $40 per day for Jr. Members and $80 for non-members. Camp takes place indoors where state-of-the-art technology is utilized.

First Tee – North Florida offers fun filled camps during the summer months each year. Camps will introduce the fundamentals of the game of golf seamlessly integrated with the Five Key Commitments with the primary goal of having fun! Full and half-day camps are offered at multiple locations in the Northeast Florida area. Registration for 2023 Summer Camps will open in mid-January.
