About Us

 
About Us
The First Tee is an initiative of the World Golf Foundation. Since its inception in 1997, The First Tee has opened over 148 golf learning facilities and has introduced the game of golf to over 300,000 participants since 2000. The focus is to give young people of all backgrounds an opportunity to develop, through golf and character education, life-enhancing values such as honesty, integrity and sportsmanship.
Our History
The course's green complexes were modeled after original drawings done by legendary golf course architect Donald Ross for a course he designed for the same area in the early 1920's, but was never built. The drawings were later found in a Metro Parks trash can in 1988 and were rescued by Danny Gibson, the city's director of golf at the time. The drawings are now displayed at Golf House Tennessee. It's in this spirit that the course is labeled a Donald Ross inspired facility.
