We provide a safe, welcoming space where kids and teens can come as they are, have fun, learn the game, and build valuable life skills. Our location at Highland National Golf Course offers a variety of programs for youth ages 4–17, with opportunities for all ages and skill levels. No golf experience is necessary, and equipment is always provided! Financial aid is also available for every session.
From April through September, we offer outdoor lessons, leagues, camps, and LPGA courses for ages 4–17. Winter indoor classes will be available after the holidays.
Registration for Spring 2027 programs will open in February 2027. Winter lesson registration will open later this fall.
Most classes are held at the First Tee Learning Center, located near the driving range at Highland National Golf Course:
1403 Montreal Avenue, St. Paul, MN
A few leagues will meet at the nine-hole Highland 9 Golf Course:
1797 Edgcumbe Road, St. Paul, MN
