GOLF LESSONS
Our PGA professionals will make a full assessment of each aspect of your game before presenting you with a program, which you can be sure will improve your scores and more importantly your enjoyment of the game.

We offer private lessons for one or two people, as well as group lessons for those who enjoy sharing the spotlight of golf instruction with others. Junior golf lessons for all
of the aspiring young “tigers” of tomorrow are also available. These lessons, like our clinics are perfect for those being introduced to the game for the first time. Click here for Lesson Pricing Information...

THE V-1 VIDEO TEACHING SYSTEM
The V-1 is a state-of-the-art computer swing analysis system that allows us to video each aspect of your swing and then shows you in detailed graphics areas of your technique you can improve. This system is administered by our PGA professionals who are skilled at helping to identify and correct flaws in your game. This is the same system that the PGA uses at its National Training Center. The system also has a video library allowing you to compare your swing to the swing of champions such as Jack Nicklaus, Fred Couples and Chip Beck.

GOLF CLINICS
Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or a novice, you will find our Golf Academy offers a clinic that’s appropriate for you. There are hour long Junior clinics, Ladies Clinics and Short Game Clinics that are the perfect introduction to the game in a relaxed, fun and friendly environment. Our PGA certified instructors will challenge more experienced players to improve their skills or introduce the fundamentals for those new to the game. Click here for Clinic Pricing Information...

GOLF CAMPS
When you learn to play golf, we want to teach you the fundamentals and the right attitude. When you rely on those, golf is really pretty simple and a lot of fun! Too much talk about the mechanics of the game and other complexities can make the game more confusing than it really is. We belive that this approach takes away from the game of golf. That's why we instituted our new Golf Academy Camps. At the Family First Golf Academy and Driving Range, we are passionate about helping young golfers make golf a game you will enjoy for a lifetime!
