1. What will be covered in the lessons?

The lessons will cover putting, chipping, pitching, and the full swing.
Within each of these components, we will focus on the basics of the shot,
including the grip, stance, and swing.

2. Do I need to have any prior golf experience?

No. The lessons are open to golfers of all abilities, although primarily
focused on the beginner to moderate players.

3. Do I need my own clubs?

No, Valleywood has golf clubs available to use, although we recommend
bringing your own clubs. If you are looking for new golf clubs, please let
your instructor know, and we will assist you in making sure the clubs are fit
properly for you. We offer professional club fitting and are a certified Ping
Club fitter. We have equipment options for golfers of all skill levels.

4. Where do we meet on the first day of lessons?

The first day of lessons will commence on the practice green (except for
Mighty Mites, which is always on the far end of the driving range). You do
not need to check in with the pro shop prior to the lessons.

5. What if I have a conflict and cannot make one of the lessons?

If you need to miss a lesson in a series, please contact the pro shop as
soon as possible. One of our professionals will contact you and work out
another lesson for you to attend that will be covering the same topics as the
one you will miss.

6. What if the weather prevents lessons from taking place?

In the case of inclement weather, we will contact everyone via email or
telephone two hours before the start of the lesson. Any lessons that are
cancelled due to inclement weather will be made up at your earliest
convenience.

7. How do I obtain a USGA Handicap?

Valleywood offers an 18-hole handicap service through the pro shop. The service includes two updated handicap cards per month, a 12 month subscription to Minnesota Golfer Magazine, and eligibility to play in sanctioned events. A seasonal fee is charged. Please contact the pro shop for more information.
