Welcome

Thank you for your interest in First Tee – Indiana in Columbus. In 2016, we established a successful partnership with the Columbus Parks Department, which gave us a home base at the Rocky Ford Par 3 Golf Course. This year we are excited to partner with two more Columbus area golf courses, Harrison Lake Country Club and Otter Creek Golf Course. These new partnerships allow us to offer more classes throughout the year, creating more opportunities for young golfers in the Columbus community.
