MAKING A DIFFERENCE

First Tee Gulf Coast is reliant upon charitable contributions to carry out our mission and is grateful to receive widespread support from those in the golf industry and beyond. A fundamental strength of First Tee Gulf Coast is the direct support it receives from some of the game’s most respected and influential organizations. Their leadership has inspired others to embrace the mission of The First Tee.

A Special Thanks to our Corporate Sponsors

As a nonprofit organization, First Tee Gulf Coast must fund-raise 100% of its budget on annual basis. The chapter relies upon the generosity and support of area businesses, the Northwest Florida and South Alabama golf industries and fellow nonprofits to fulfill our chapter’s mission of providing educational programs that build character, instill life-enhancing values and promote healthy choices through the game of golf to young people throughout these communities.

Sponsor Spotlight

First Tee Gulf Coast would like to thank all of our generous sponsors, donors, and volunteers that made our home at the former "Goofy Golf" facility possible.
