Women’s Group Classes (Beginner &

on the basics and for more seasoned players.

The Beginner Classes start with putting and cover everything all
the way to the driver. You will learn a proper foundation on which
to build your game in the future. You will also learn about the
rules and etiquette of the game so you will feel completely

your instructor. Included in the class:

several other days during the week!
