We offer individual lessons, lesson series, clinics and a summer long Junior Golf Program. Individual Lessons are $40 per 1/2 hour and a series of three lessons is $100.

Junior Golf Program

The Continental Country Club Junior Program is designed to teach sound fundamentals of the game. Teaching is structured with long-term progressive improvement as the major goal.

The beginner level has six lessons designed for Juniors who have had no formal instruction and should not be skipped. Instruction includes full swing, chipping and putting: also, rules and etiquette.
The intermediate level has four lessons: driving range, chipping and putting, and two rounds on the course. Also basic rules are covered plus implementation of rules or etiquette.
The advanced level has two lessons on the range and four lessons on the course.

Lessons on the range, chipping and putting, will be one hour. Lessons on the course will be approximately an hour and a half. Instructors will not be responsible for students who remain on the course when instruction is complete.

The most important of the developmental lessons are the beginner and the intermediate. Placing students ahead could adversely affect long-term development.
