The 2026 National Tournament will be held December 20-22 at Timberlane Golf & Recreation, the new home of First Tee – Greater New Orleans. Practice rounds will take place on Sunday, December 20, followed by tournament play on Monday, December 21, and Tuesday, December 22.
Registration fees include player lunches, the practice round, tournament play, and tee gifts. One staff member from each participating chapter will also receive complimentary admission to the awards dinner.
On the second evening, players, families, coaches, and chapters come together for an awards dinner celebrating tournament accomplishments and recognizing First Tee – Greater New Orleans’ annual chapter award recipients.
For First Tee participants, it’s more than a tournament. It’s a chance to compete, travel, build friendships with teens from other chapters, and create lasting memories through the game of golf.
