Frequently Asked Questions
What age can kids start golf lessons?
Children can start golf lessons as early as age 4-5 with the right instructor. At this age, lessons focus on fun, coordination, and basic motor skills. More structured instruction typically begins around age 7-8.
How long should junior golf lessons be?
For kids under 8, 30-minute lessons work best. Ages 8-12 do well with 45-minute sessions. Teenagers can handle full 60-minute lessons. The key is keeping it fun and stopping before frustration sets in.
Does my child need junior-sized clubs?
Yes, properly sized clubs make a huge difference for juniors. Many instructors have demo sets available. Your instructor can recommend the right club lengths and weights for your child's height and strength.

Beginners Lessons
Starting golf can feel overwhelming — there are dozens of clubs, confusing rules, and an entirely new set of physical mechanics to learn. A great beginner instructor strips all of that away and focuses on the fundamentals that actually matter: grip, posture, alignment, and a repeatable swing. You don't need to be athletic or coordinated. You just need someone who knows how to teach.
Full Swing Lessons
Your full swing is the engine of your game. Whether you're fighting a slice, struggling with consistency, or chasing more distance, a full swing coach uses video analysis and launch monitor data to pinpoint exactly what needs to change — and more importantly, what doesn't. Modern instruction is efficient, data-driven, and built around your body and your goals.
