If your child is 5-6 years old they will be in the TARGET level. We currently only offer Target classes at our El Rio location.
If your child is 7 or older, and this is their first session with us, they will be in the PLAYer Level. The PLAYer level is offered at all of our locations. In this level, participants will learn about The First Tee 9 core values, be able to understand the basics of golf, and be able to play 9 holes.
Once a child has completed a minimum of 27 hours in the PLAYer level, and is at least 9 years old they will be eligible for "certification", to test into the PAR level.
