GOLF INSTRUCTION FOR ADULTS AND JUNIORS OF ALL ABILITIES.


Whether you’re looking to fine tune your game, or you’ve never held a golf club, the Saratoga National Golf Academy has a program for you. As our student, you’ll have access to nationally recognized instructors and the region’s most comprehensive practice and teaching facilities, located at Saratoga National Golf Club.


PROGRAM GUIDE & PRICING:

ADULT INDIVIDUAL INSTRUCTION:

single lesson
1 hour: $150.00  • 1/2 HOUR: $75.00  
Schedule a lesson to work on a particular skill that you wish to improve. In your first session with an instructor, expect to spend some time on skills assessment as needed.


3-session package

3 hours • $400.00
A better value than the individual hourly lesson and more practical for students who want to work on several aspects of their game. Each session can be devoted to a different skill – for example, putting one day, short game the next, and finally full swing. Students may also string the lessons together to create a half-day learning experience.


CLUB FITTING

Wedge Fitting | Iron/Hybrid | Driver/Fairway 1 Hour Sessions • $125.00/Each
Golf club fitting is critical in developing an efficient, effective game. Achieving good scores and a proper swing without the right tools can be a frustrating, uphill battle. Do your clubs have the right gapping? Are they current? How long is your putter? These are just some of the important questions we ask in determining whether the clubs fit the golfer’s game.


ADULT GROUP LESSONS:


GROUP LESSONS

1 HOUR, 2 players: $75.00/each • 3 PLAYERS: $50.00/EACH • 4 players: $40.00/each 
Bring 2-4 Players and split the lesson cost .

 

JUNIOR INSTRUCTION

single lesson
1/2 hour: $75.00
