Girls Golf - First Tee - Greater Seattle

First Tee – Greater Seattle partners with the LPGA*USGA Girls Golf program to offer a girls club format for our golf and life skills classes. Girls Golf seeks to promote a positive environment for girls ages 7 to 18 years old to build a healthy self-esteem while learning the game of golf. With the help of strong female coaches, mentors and role models, participants are safe to learn in a girl-friendly environment that promotes confidence in self-expression. On average, girls are twice as likely to have dropped out of sports entirely by the age of 14. At Girls Golf, First Tee creates an environment where girls can excel in the sport of golf and are encouraged to explore the many opportunities the sport provides.

Girls’ Golf Classes at First Tee

We currently offer LPGA*USGA Girls Golf at 4 facilities: Auburn Golf Course, Bill Wright Golf Complex, Jackson Park Golf Course, and Crossroads Par-3.

Spring, Summer, and Fall classes are available along with a host of other girl-friendly activities.

For more information, please contact us at [email protected].

Girls Golf classes are open to all ages, 7 and up. All classes incorporate the Key Commitments and Life Skills, but also focus on the Five E’s: Empower, Enrich, Engage, Exercise and Energize!

Claudia Robbs’ Scholarship

More information & Application

On behalf of Claudia Robbs, First Tee – Greater Seattle will offer three (3) scholarships per year providing each winner with $300 in credit for instruction, equipment, and tournaments, and a complimentary year of enrollment in First Tee – Greater Seattle programming. This scholarship is intended to give three (3) female golfers per year a boost in their efforts to further improve their game and engage in additional competition, which can be an expensive endeavor for any family.

Spotlight on Ace participant and Staff Coach, Eden Bentley

Q. How long have you been a participant and now coach for?
I’ve been a participant for eight years now and a coach for roughly five years.

Q. What is your favorite Life Skill that you’ve learned while you’ve been in First Tee?
It’s hard to pick just one, but I think perseverance and the ability to grow through challenges are such important skills for life, and playing golf is a great way to learn them!

Q. What are your favorite memories while in the program? Either as a coach or participant.
It was really special getting to travel to Oregon and compete with the PGA Jr. League All-Stars a few years back. Volunteering at the Boeing Classic representing the First Tee is also memorable – it’s so great to have a chance to introduce people to the program! It’s also been so wonderful getting to know girls in the program and support them through life, while helping them improve at golf.

Q. Do you have a coach that inspired you to become a coach?
So many of my First Tee coaches have inspired me. Coach Evan is always incredibly encouraging and enthusiastic and he is such a great leader. He puts so much into the program and strives to make every participant feel welcome. Also, former Coach Bronte helped me grow to become more confident and responsible as a coach and I am so thankful that she could be my mentor!
