The First Tee of Southern Nevada

The First Tee of Southern Nevada is one Chapter of a national/international non-profit youth initiative called The First Tee. The First Tee was created in 1997 by the World Golf Foundation to provide young people of all ethnic and economic backgrounds an opportunity to develop, through golf and character education, life-enhancing values such as honesty, integrity and sportsmanship. By engaging young people in a combination of life skills, leadership and golf activities, they also are exposed to positive traits that will help them achieve success in life. In the process, participants become valuable assets to their community. The First Tee Life Skills & Golf Experience is the unique component that sets The First Tee apart from many other successful junior golf programs.

The mission of the First Tee of Southern Nevada is to impact the lives of young people in Las Vegas by creating affordable and accessible golf facilities primarily to serve those who have not previously had exposure to the game and its positive values.
