The PGA Professional Staff at Sand Valley is available and eager to fine tune your game during your visit. Our professionals can introduce a variety of unique shots into your bag that will best help you navigate Sand Valley. We offer a number of lesson types ranging from private lessons to custom group clinics.
“Everyone who plays the game of golf has made perfect contact with a ball at least once in their life. Maybe it wasn’t the hardest and maybe it veered offline a bit, but the strike was pure; you couldn’t imagine hitting it better. That flushed feeling is in all of us, regardless of what our swing looks like. My goal is to make your great shots achievable, your good shots plentiful, and your bad shots playable. That’s golf. That’s executing the whole idea of the game; get the ball in the hole in as few strokes as possible.”
Private golf lessons are available and should be scheduled prior to arrival. Instruction takes place at the Practice Center featuring a full grass range with targets from 60 to 275 yards and two practice chipping and putting greens featuring bunkers, slopes and various lies you can expect on our courses. Our professionals are well trained to work with beginner, junior, female, male, intermediate and scratch players. Inquire about FlightScope lessons, where you and a pro will use doppler radar technology to dial in carry distance, ball speed, club path and much more.
Group clinics are a great way to gather with your friends, family or coworkers and master the game together as one! Our professionals accommodate groups of all ages and sizes, from small, intimate settings to large scale games and drill.
16 players or less: $40/player/hour
17 - 24 players: $35/player/hour

On-course playing lessons are another great form of instruction at Sand Valley. With the unique playing conditions of our golf courses, learning the lay of the land and visualizing different shots can be the most effective way to lower your scores during your stay. Adapting your game to fit a links style golf course requires a variety of chip shots including the high flop, the bump and run and everything in between. There is no better place to practice these shots than in a live-action environment with one of our professionals by your side.
