First Tee — Upstate South Carolina

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.

First Tee – Upstate South Carolina is a nonprofit organization dedicated to impacting the lives of young people in Anderson, Cherokee, Greenville, Greenwood, Oconee and Spartanburg counties by providing educational programs that build character, instill life-enhancing values and promote healthy choices through the game of golf.

Offering programs specifically designed for young people ages 5 to 18, the organization impacts the lives of over 60,000 Upstate area youth each year.
