Family-focused instructional programs, events and tournaments will take place at Troon-affiliated facilities to encourage participation across all ages
SCOTTSDALE, Arizona – July is “Troon Family Golf Month” and Sunday, July 27 is Troon Family Golf Day at Troon facilities. Throughout the month, Troon-managed and affiliated facilities around the world will host family-focused instructional programs, events, and tournaments designed to encourage participation across all ages.
In addition to promoting family participation in golf, Troon Family Golf Month also serves as a platform to raise both awareness and support for First Tee and its mission to empower young people through the game of golf.
While the month of July serves as the kickoff for family golf activities, Troon Family Golf is available every day of the week, all year long, at participating Troon-managed facilities worldwide.
Families can play golf together and enjoy the following:
• Juniors play golf for free after 3 p.m. when playing with a paying adult
• Juniors enjoy complimentary Callaway rental clubs all day (at participating locations)
• Juniors receive complimentary instruction when taking a lesson with a paying adult
As part of Troon Family Golf Month, Troon facilities, Troon Golf Academies and their respective teaching professionals will present a series of engaging initiatives. From introductory clinics to special events, Troon is dedicated to making this month a memorable experience for families and golf enthusiasts of all levels.
Throughout July, Troon facilities will spotlight the impact of First Tee through storytelling, in-club signage, and digital campaigns. Guests and members of Troon-affiliated facilities will be encouraged to make a donation to First Tee and/or purchase items, rounds and experiences through an online charity auction.

As an additional layer of fundraising for First Tee, Troon has partnered with Next Round, a leading golf equipment trade-in services provider, to raise funds and bring added value to members of Troon-affiliated private clubs.
During Troon Family Golf Month, Troon members will receive a 10 percent bonus on all trade-ins while an extra 10 percent will be donated to First Tee. Since 2021, Next Round has offered trade-in services to 45 different Troon clubs, including Belfair and St. James, and has generated over $450,000 in trade-ins.
“Troon and Troon associates are dedicated to growing the game of golf every day. We’re proud to amplify our efforts throughout the month of July, bringing new golfers to the game and supporting the growth and development of junior golf,” said Troon Executive Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing Kris Strauss.
“We are also pleased to raise funds for First Tee programming throughout the country, including the 70+ First Tee locations at Troon-affiliated facilities, to aid them in teaching valuable life skills to our youth.”
“We are grateful for Troon’s support of First Tee during Troon Family Golf Month,” said First Tee CEO Greg McLaughlin.
“Golf can be a fun and healthy way for families to spend time together, but it also teaches kids valuable lessons that they can carry with them off the golf course and into adulthood.”
