Jefferson Park has a new name!

Jefferson Park Golf Course has been renamed to the Bill Wright Golf Complex.

On Saturday, October 19, Friends of Bill Wright and community came together with Seattle Parks and Recreation to officially change the name of Jefferson Park Golf Course to Bill Wright Golf Complex.

Bill Wright was the first African American to win a United States Golf Association (USGA) event, winning the 1959 U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship. Bill was a graduate of Franklin High School and went on to play college golf at Western Washington University, winning the 1960 National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Men’s Golf Championship individual title.

Mr. Wright was inducted into the Pacific Northwest Golf Association Hall of Fame in 2013. He was an original junior member and fixture of Fir State Golf Club and Jefferson Golf Course. He broke the color barrier of American Golf and will be appropriately honored at his home course, Bill Wright Golf Complex.

Our Programs

Experiences are our greatest teacher. First Tee believes in developing the ones that are just as fun as they are meaningful, where kids feel excited to grow, safe to fail, and better equipped for whatever comes their way next. Through our golf-based personal growth programs, we see kids build life and leadership skills that empower them in all areas of  life, including school, friendships and eventually careers.
