Frequently Asked Questions
How much do golf lessons cost?
Private lessons with a PGA professional typically cost $75-150 per hour. Group clinics run $30-60 per person. Playing lessons (on-course) cost $150-300+ for 9 holes with instruction.
Are private or group lessons better?
Private lessons offer personalized attention and faster improvement. Group clinics are more affordable and provide a social environment. Beginners often benefit from a mix of both.
What is a playing lesson?
A playing lesson takes place on the course during actual play. The instructor coaches you through real situations, helping with course management, shot selection, and mental game.
Is TrackMan/launch monitor worth it?
Launch monitor technology provides precise data on ball speed, launch angle, and spin. It's especially valuable for fitting, diagnosing swing issues, and tracking improvement over time.
Can golf facilities customize this calculator?
Yes! Golf courses, academies, and PGA professionals can customize lesson types, pricing, and packages to match their programs and embed it on their website.
