Athletics can provide physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual growth and it is our desire that Lighthouse athletics will facilitate growth in each of these areas through our knowledgeable coaches, commissioners, and volunteers.

Golf
2025 Season
We are partnering with First Tee of the Triangle to offer classes for homeschoolers. Those classes will happen in February/March. We will have matches in April.
First Tee of the Triangle is a great organization that teaches golf. From beginners to advanced, your child will learn and grow in the game. First Tee has classes from spring to fall. You can sign up here for any of their classes.
Fees: Classes with First Tee run from $80-$90 a session. A session is 6-8 weeks, one day a week. Green Fees (for matches) are $10 – $25 per match.
It is preferred to have your own set of golf clubs, but not needed. Coaches have extra ones that you can use.
