About Us

We enable kids to build the strength of character that empowers them through a lifetime of new challenges. By seamlessly integrating the game of golf with life skills curriculum, we create learning experiences that build inner strength, self-confidence, and resilience that kids carry to everything they do.

Building Game Changers

First Tee — Greater Philadelphia’s mission is to provide experiences that build character. We exist to enable kids to build the strength of character that empowers them through a lifetime of new challenges by seamlessly integrating the game of golf with life skills curriculum. We create learning experiences that bring out inner strength, self-confidence, and resilience that kids carry to everything they do.

We believe that all kids deserve the chance to grow in a supportive environment. We provide mentors that guide them and we are dedicated to building programs that are accessible, welcoming, and as impactful as they are fun. 

Here, we encompass this in all that we do by offering the Greater Philadelphia community the same game changing experiences at both John F. Byrne Golf Club and Walnut Lane Golf Club.
