6. Private and semi-private Youth Golf Lessons  

Private single youth lesson: $65/student (Range balls not included) 
Semi-private youth lesson: $50/student (Range balls not included)

Some young students prefer learning without the presence of other students, or perhaps with only one other student. Other more experienced golf students need to work and concentrate on specific skill sets without disturbance from other students. They require the dedicated, full-time assistance from their instructor/coach. 

The ability and skills of the student are evaluated, and the goals of the student are discussed with the student. Based on the ability level and the goals, a course of action is employed that will best lead the student toward meeting his or her goals.

7. Advanced / Experienced Youth Students Instruction Program

Some young students thoroughly enjoy golf and want to improve to a competitive level, perhaps to play in junior golf programs, or high school golf.

For such students a lesson program is designed specifically for them that provides focus on their most important needs. Lesson cost is dependent on your specific program and your lesson frequency.
