Experience
First Tee Austin is the largest accessible junior golf program in the metro — the Harvey Penick campus and satellite sites create multiple entry points, and the age-5 start is earlier than most competitors. The 12-week session format gives kids consistent weekly practice rather than a one-off camp experience.
