What is Newbie Golf?
Lessons built for first-timers
Newbie lessons are small group sessions taught by a real instructor at a course near you. You'll learn how to swing, chip, and putt with other beginners who are there for the same reason you are: to have fun.
Clubs are available if you don't have your own, and every lesson ends with time to hang out. Most people come with a friend; plenty make new ones.
