ACGT First Fairways

First Fairways brings San Antonio high school students onto the course as part of the Alamo City Golf Trail’s commitment to growing the game across the city. From your first swing to your first putt, you’ll be on the course and part of the action, learning the basics and building confidence in a supportive environment designed for new golfers.

Education

Through a partnership with the GCSAA First Green program, First Fairway golfers get a behind-the-scenes look at how golf courses are cared for and maintained across ACGT.

On-Course Experience

ACGT First Fairways is getting new golfers out on the course, giving them the opportunity to practice, play, and apply what they’ve learned on the Teddy Bear Par 3 course.

Community

First Fairways creates a supportive community where new golfers build a lifelong love of golf from the very first swing.

What First Fairway Golfers Will Learn

Throughout the 8-week program, participants will:

  • Learn golf fundamentals in a fun, supportive environment
  • Understand golf rules, etiquette, and sportsmanship
  • Participate in hands-on learning through the GCSAA First Green program
  • Connect with ACGT leadership and staff as mentors
  • Build life skills such as responsibility, teamwork, and confidence
  • Join a nationwide network of golfers through ACGT's partnership with Youth on Course
