Golf is a lifelong discipline. Learning the game is an individual journey which can take a different length of lessons for each student. Discussion with the PGA Instructor to build an Individual Lesson Program will be integral to the students success.

Learning Adult Golf(LAG) Clinics for 2026
Summary: The purpose of our Adult Golf program is to grow the game of golf for all interested, to create lifelong learners of the game, and create an environment conducive to meeting each learner where they are in their process. We will prioritize practice elements crucial to each players development in a fun and engaging way. We will work on each swing type and prioritize, through ongoing assessment and communication, participants’ feedback, and adjust each session accordingly. Each class is different, and some classes will work on certain areas of their game longer than others. Lastly, we strive to provide various offerings to accommodate a wide range of golfers from beginning to intermediate to advanced. In an effort to accommodate the feedback of previous LAG clinic golfers, we will move a a 4 to 1 ration(student to instructor) so that quality instruction is at a premium for all involved. Below are some of our offerings, and you can find additional details(pricing, time spent on course vs instruction/practice, etc.) about each program by clicking on the registration portal.
