About Par-Tee Golf Club Fort Wayne
A golf community supporting fellowship and scholarships since 1968.
Par‑Tee Golf Club of Fort Wayne is a nonprofit golf community built on fellowship, perseverance, and opportunity for local students.
Since 1968, our members have gathered around the game we love, forming lasting friendships while investing in the next generation through our scholarship fund.
As a 501(c)(3) organization, Par‑Tee channels the generosity of golfers, sponsors, and supporters into meaningful scholarships for area students pursuing college and career training.
Every round we play and every event we host helps open doors for deserving scholars in our community.
A Legacy Built Through Golf
In 1970, Par-Tee hosted its first annual tournament, an important milestone in the club’s early history.
That event helped establish Par‑Tee as a place where golf, camaraderie, and community support could come together in a meaningful way.
Over time, that spirit turned Par‑Tee into a respected part of the Fort Wayne community.
Early members laid the foundation for our traditions on and off the course, from monthly play to our signature scholarship benefit, which draws golfers and supporters nationwide.
Today, that legacy continues through member events, our flagship scholarship tournament, and direct funding for deserving students.
Par‑Tee has awarded more than $332,500 in scholarships since inception, helping local students pursue degrees and training that prepare them to give back as professionals and community leaders.
