First Tee is a youth development organization that enables kids to build the strength of character that empowers them through a lifetime of new challenges.

We’re Building Game Changers through our junior golf programs.

FootGolf at Meadowbrook Park

FootGolf is a combination of the popular sports of soccer and golf. Instead of golf clubs and golf balls, the game is played with a soccer ball and a 21-inch diameter cup. The rules mostly correlate with the rules of golf. While FootGolf is played throughout the world, it is estimated there are only 180 courses across the United States. The Meadowbrook Park course is the second course to open in DFW.

Go Ape!

Treetop Adventure is a totally unique outdoor experience. Our courses take you on a 2-3-hour self-guided tour through the forest canopy. You will navigate suspended obstacles and ziplines leaving you feeling both accomplished and exhilarated. We start by equipping all guests with their safety gear and equipment, including harnesses, pulleys and carabiners. You will receive a comprehensive 30-minute safety briefing where you are trained on how to use the equipment and course etiquette. Once you have completed the safety brief you are free to enjoy an independent and self-paced adventure in the trees. Instructors are always on hand, regularly patrolling the forest if you have any questions or just need some tips on how to conquer an obstacle. All Go Ape Treetop Adventure courses are environmentally designed to integrate carefully with the local topography. This ensures that each Go Ape course offers guests a fresh experience with ziplines and crossings customized to the local environment.
