As part of Grinnell College Golf Course’s effort to keep our youth active and grow the game of golf we will be greatly expanding youth golf opportunities this summer.  We believe the game of golf offers a unique combination of social interaction, competition, cooperation, and outdoor wellness.

We will offer 3 different golf opportunities for our youth to participate in.

Grinnell College Junior Golf Program

  • Week 2:  June 8th & 9th
  • Week 3:  June 16th & 18th

The First Tee of Central Iowa

  • Cost of the event is TBD.

Week 1: June 22-25; Week 2: June 29 – July 2

This will be Grinnell College Golf Course’s 4th season being a host site for The First Tee, and we look forward to building the program even further!

We will be making some changes to how the program is scheduled. We will still have 9 sessions, but they will be held over 2 weeks instead of 9 weeks. Our hope is that this will provide for easier player transportation, less conflict with summer vacations, and increase volunteer support.
