Default Golf Lessons

I'm looking to set up some golf lessons for a group I'm with.
Not sure the exact number yet, but we'd be looking for group lessons, probably at the beginner level.
Can anyone suggest where to go?

Terry Carter - my wife got lessons from him several years ago, and it did wonders for her game, and I even learned a bit

The golf school is amazing.....I did it a few years back. Looks like they raised the price though.

$700 for 5 nights accomodation, 5 days of unlimited golf, lessons every morning, and cart/driving range is included. I played about 30+ holes a day, and spent a little bit of time on the nearby beach.

This is their signature hole, an elevated par 4 with a river that runs in front of the green. Pretty cool to play, and at night we would get over there when the course was cleared out and try to drive the greens with a patented gorilla swing.



All in all it's totally worth the money.

Ha, yeah, that might be... but this is for a group of students, so I think 700$ is a bit more than they were willing to spend.
The only one I had found was that nationalgolfacademy one. Was just wondering if there were others.

These guys look like they have a good variety of lessons. I think they operate out of the golf dome. http://www.realswinggolf.com/lessons.htm

This page of the site looks like what you are looking for http://www.realswinggolf.com/specials.htm

For $129 + GST for 5 lessons including an on course lesson. Sound pretty good.

But to be honest, I took my first lessons when I was about 10 years old. My lessons were one pro with two other people. I also took some group lessons in my late teens. The group lessons were OK but a very small group is much better. If you can get a deal that limits it to about 5 max, I think you will get way more bang for your buck even if it costs a bit more.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but it's getting to that time of year again. I've been meaning to take some lessons and last year when this thread popped up I considered it, but never followed through. Hopefully this is the year.

Does anyone have any other places they'd recommend for golf lessons? Or even reviews of the places that are listed in this thread?

flamingchina - did you end up taking any lessons last summer? if you did which one did you end up going to and what'd you think.

Thanks in advance CP.

My wife and I are going to take some lessons this spring. Hopefully it will improve both our games. I was thinking of checking out the lessons at the Golf Dome.
