How Many Golf Lessons Should I Take?
For an avid golfer who is looking for a cure to a recent golf swing flaw, perhaps only one or two private lessons will be sufficient. For a new golfer or a more frequent golfer who is hoping to develop a golf swing with more consistent results, we recommend a five-lesson series. Regardless of how many golf lessons you take, it is important to find time to practice in between golf lessons. To successfully build or change a golf swing, various fundamental steps must be established. As with most activities, a student must climb the steps to achieve the goals they have established during the first golf lesson.
How Much Are Golf Lessons?
Treetops Golf Academy offers daily clinics for only $10 for a one-hour group session which covers a different topic every day. Private golf lessons vary in price, up to $99 for a one-hour lesson customized to your golf swing needs. Our PGA-sanctioned Get Golf Ready program hosts five one-hour weekly group lessons for a package price of only $99.

We just wanted to send an email letting you know how much we enjoyed the three days of lessons with you last week. Your explanations and the little games you had us playing were fantastic. The games are something we can play and compete with each other often. As you saw, we do get a little competitive with each other. Our rounds of golf saw improvements each time we were out on the course. You definitely have a gift to teach.
Thanks for the golf lesson. I made four birdies in a row on Threetops immediately after our golf lesson!
Just wanted to let you know Georgie was beaming yesterday when he got home from the lesson. He was talking a mile a minute and showing me his new grip. Thanks for working with him...it is great to see him so excited about it.
I met you this past July when I had our ladies golf school session July 12-14. I had so much fun, I am bringing my husband and friends back for Fall golf.
Thanks very much for arranging all the lessons. We had a great time and improved our golf. We hope to be back next year.
It was such a great week and really has helped my game. I am trying to teach my daughter what I learned - think we will just plan to go with her next year too. Thanks again - it really was a great program and really appreciated all of the advice and lessons!
