Tee Golf
Who pays to build First Tee golf courses and why are they so much nicer than municipal courses?
I travel for work and have seen more than 5 First Tee golf courses. Although they are never Full Length courses, the conditions are so much better than the surrounding municipal courses. How are they able to charge so little and build great courses?
First tee golf is a world golf initiative and as a non profit organization dedicated to providing opportunities for minorities and underprivileged juniors they raise a lot of money thru sponsors, fund raisers, charitable events, merchandising and individual contributors. As such they have no pressure to turn a profit and can afford wonderful courses.
Municipal course are responsible to the taxpayers and tend to be run on a minimal budget. However there are some wealthy counties, cities and towns that offer awesome municipal course.
