Beginner Golf Lessons

Learn to play golf the right way with beginner golf lessons, beginner golf schools or clinics in scenic Lake Tahoe. We’ll make learning golf fun and easy.   

At the Golf Academy at Old Greenwood, we love teaching new golfers. Sometimes new golfers put off learning how to play because they are intimidated by everything they don’t know about golf. But the good news is beginner golfers don’t have any bad habits to correct. And any teaching pro will tell you that it’s a lot easier to learn a new skill then it is to unlearn bad habits.

Once you’ve learned a few simple basics you’ll be surprised how easy golf is and how far you can hit the ball. The key is to learn golf the right way from the start. Don’t make the mistake of taking lessons from a spouse or a friend no matter how good they might play this game or how well meaning their intentions. That will only slow down your learning and lead to bad habits that could be so easily avoided.

The best advice for new golfers is to learn how to swing and play from an expert. At The Golf Academy at Old Greenwood all we do is teach golf. And we have one of the best golf learning programs in the nation. Let our expert instructors show you how easy and how much fun it is to learn how to play golf. 

The key is our systematic and logical approach to learning this great game. We have perfected a step-by-step process, building a solid golf foundation in a few simple basics. And we make sure we don’t overload and overwhelm you with too much information.

With our beginner golf instruction, it’s actually possible for a new golfer to have better swing fundaments than golfers that have been playing for years. And we’ll make sure you have the confidence to play with your spouse, friends or business associates after a couple lessons or our 3-hour beginner golf clinic.

We’ll make sure you avoid the typical beginner golfer pitfalls and keep you on the correct path. We’ll build your swing step-by-step, putting the fundamentals in place in the correct order and at the appropriate time based on you as an individual. As you master one set of fundamentals we move you on to the next step in our logical progression so that each fundamental is built on the previously learned and mastered techniques.
