We are thrilled to have Coach Laura back to lead the nearly all female staff of coaches.
• Little Linksters – We also had amazing response last year for our 5 and 6 year old program that focuses on fun and getting the kids a taste of golf. After filling all 4 sessions last year, we’ve decided to offer a 5th session this year. Limit is 16 kids so get signed up quick.
• Cheboygan – Thanks to the generosity of the Cheboygan Area Junior Golf Association, we are able to offer this 6-week program for Free. The sessions take place on Friday mornings at Cheboygan Golf and Country Club. The basics are taught along with our life skills curriculum focusing on the Key Commitments. Following the 6 week season in Cheboygan, we are looking to pilot an advance program for a couple of weeks. Stay tuned for more information.
• Indian River – Also part of the Cheboygan Area Junior Golf Association, Indian River is also free and will meet for 6-weeks on Monday Mornings. Indian River students will also be able to participate in the piloted advanced program. Again, stay tuned for more information.

Registration Tips

When starting to register, click the “Login” button on top left side of Registration Page. If you’re a returning parent/participant, please use your regular email to login. New users will need to create an account for the “Household” and then create profiles for each participant.

Scholarships – our programming is available to ALL regardless of your circumstance.

Thanks to a generous bequest from former Harbor Springs resident Jeffrey Mathews, First Tee Northern Michigan is able to offer Financial Aid to families who would like help with the participant fees that are charged for the programs.  Mr. Mathews wanted to make sure that every child who wants to play golf is able to do so, regardless of financial circumstances.

To request Financial Aid, login to the Parent Portal here and follow the prompts to begin the registration process.  During the registration process you will be asked if you would like to apply for Financial Aid.  Click “Yes”.  You will then be asked a few standard questions.  After you answer these questions, continue and complete the registration process. You will not have to pay anything at this time, and a spot will be reserved for your child in the class(es) you selected.  Within 48 hours, you will be notified of your financial award.  At that time, you will need to return to the Parent Portal to confirm your child’s participation.

For questions, please contact Executive Director – Kevin McKinley, PGA
