Golf Instruction
The Sugarloaf Golf School has been helping players lower their scores and get more enjoyment out of their time on the course for nearly 40 years. Whether it's a quick tune-up with one of our hourly clinics or an intensive week-long camp, Sugarloaf's staff of PGA Professionals will help you take your game to the next level.
Private Lessons
Get customized instruction from one of our Golf Pros. Whether you have a specific problem you'd like to solve, want to lower your score, or are just getting started, we'll help you take your game to the next level. Choose a half-hour or hour session for a quick tune-up or a series of 5 or 10 lessons for more in-depth instruction. To focus on lowering your score, try 9-hole playing Golf lessons and receive instruction on course management and strategy in a private 9-hole round with a PGA professional.
Lessons are available daily; reservations are required. For more information and to book, contact Sugarloaf Head PGA Professional Jason 'Oscar' Parks.
