​
Can I get a refund on prepaid lessons ?
A​
All Lesson packages are non-refundable. If you have an unforeseen injury, we can postpone lessons until you are healthy enough to swing a club. Paying per lesson fees might be a good option if you are still on the fence about learning golf. Lessons are transferable.
​
​
Yes, lessons are good for one year from the date of the first lesson. Lesson purchased over the holidays are good for the following year. IE - Lessons purchases Christmas 2023 are good for all of 2024.
​​
I'm a new golfer, where do I start?
​
Sign up for a group clinic! Small group instruction is usually best. Choose a class that focuses on the fundamentals: a good grip, set-up, posture, alignment, the short game and the full swing.
​
Should I take private lessons?
​
Group lessons are great if you are just starting to learn the game.
Private lesson are recommend for those that want to speed up the learning process. Private lessons provide more one on one time than a group clinic setting.
​
How long will it take before I can play on the course?
​
The answer to this depends on the individual. Everyone learns at different speeds. We recommend between 5-10 hours of instruction including on-course instruction before you go play. If you are playing with someone who has experience, you could probably venture out to the course sooner.

When should I arrive?

Plan on arriving at least 10 minutes prior to your class/clinic or lesson. If your class is going to be on-course, we recommend arriving earlier to allow for warmup.
Is there a dress code? Do I need golf shoes?
​
We do have a dress code at the CC of MD click HERE . Golf shoes are not mandatory, but do help with stability during your golf swing. Playing is tennis shoes is fine, running shoes are not recommended.
​
I don't have equipment. We will lend you clubs for classes to help get you started.
​
Where do I pay ?

Payments can be made in the pro-shop at the CC of Maryland with credit card. Cash and Check payments can be made at the completion of first clinic to Owen.
