Cancellation and Refund Policy
The one-time annual membership fee is non-refundable, no matter the reason for cancellation. This is because coaches were hired and preparations were made based on the number of members, including your participant(s).
If you cancel more than 7 days prior to the date of your first day of a session, you will receive a full refund of programming fee. No refunds will be given to those parties who cancel within 7 days of their registered session. There are no refunds/credits for missed/sick days. We do not prorate for any missed session days. All refund requests must be submitted in e-mail, NO EXCEPTIONS.
First Tee – Greater Charlotte reserves the right to change the specifics of a class or activity, or to cancel a class, an event, or field trip. First Tee – Greater Charlotte operates at the discretion of the golf courses that generously allow us to use their facilities. Some locations will close in the event of inclement weather and we will have to cancel class. Due to the (sometimes) unpredictable weather in the Carolina’s we may have to cancel more than one class in a given season. First Tee – Greater Charlotte will utilize all resources and make every effort to provide make-up classes to accommodate for cancelled classes. Please note, that due to weather, daylight, and schedules it is NOT A GUARANTEE that make-up classes will be offered.
Transfers
All requests to transfer your registered dates are subject to availability. There is no fee for transferring your dates of registration. All transfers must be made at least 2 days prior to program start date (within the same season). There are NO season to season credit transfers.

You may check the status of all programming on our social media platforms. All updates will be made (1) hour prior to the start of every session IF NECESSARY and will be communicated via e-mail by the Site Director.
