Boston Golf Lessons
Looking for good Boston golf lessons? Look no further. I've gathered information about the best Boston-area golf lessons for players of all skill levels.
CityGolf Boston
We all know that the weather in Boston is not always accommodating for golfers. There are long stretches of wintry weather that make traditional golf lessons and golf games impossible. Luckily, CityGolf Boston's indoor facility is available year-round, whether snow, ice, rain, or some other natural disaster is getting in the way of outdoor play.
I like CityGolf Boston because they offer a free swing analysis before you ever decide to pay up and join. This free analysis will let you know if the staff at CityGolf Boston is to your liking.
The technology available at CityGolf Boston will keep your game in good shape through the long winter -- they have video golf simulators, practice bays for indoor swing training, and (when the weather permits) they keep an outdoor range nearby. A multiple "Best of Boston" award winner for their golf lessons and driving range facilities, CityGolf Boston offers golf lessons ranging from one hour video lessons at just under $50 to PGA-level one on one training for five hour sessions at $500. This means you can tailor your training experience to be exactly what you need.
Want to take a group lesson? CGB has that. Two or more people can take lessons in units of half hour, hour, or multiple hours and pay discounted rates. Whether you're a beginner or a PGA-caliber professional, CityGolf Boston can offer you training in the specific areas you need.
McGolf
Providing year-round covered and heated driving ranges, individual and group lessons, and even miniature golf to blow off some steam and practice putting, McGolf has a silly name but provides a serious service. You can also take half-hour or hour-long private sessions in topics like Swing, Chipping, Pitching, Putting, and Bunker play or sign up for a junior or adult clinic.
The driving range at McGolf is one of the best deals in Boston golf lessons -- one dollar earns you a half hour at the covered driving range which is open all year in all weather conditions. If you're looking to head over to McGolf, check their website at McGolfOnline.com for a quick read on the quality of the driving range. Today, for instance, the temperature is hovering around 33 degrees, but with radiant heating fixtures, a covered range, and other amenities, the driving range is open for play and rated "Good".
McGolf offers a "members only" short game training area. A 25,000 square foot collection of rolling hills, greens, and chip practice spots is available at different membership levels, starting at just $200 for three months access. This "short game" area features natural grass, greenside bunkers to practice bunker shots, even putting tournaments and multiple putting areas for the really short game training.
The Junior golf lessons are some of the best values in junior golf training in Boston -- prices range from $120 to $165 for clinics for junior golfers in swing training, course management, grip and alignment, and lots of other junior-specific topics.
As for the Adult lessons -- they cost the same as the Junior clinics ($120 - $165) and offer adult instruction in golf etiquette, basic rules, swing and grip, posture, chipping and pitching, even putting and bunker play. If you're looking for affordable and solid golf lessons in Boston, McGolf has that to offer on a year round basis.
Stone Meadow Golf
Stone Meadow offers a Par 3 golf course in the middle of Lexington, MA -- not too far from Boston if you're looking to practice your short game on a full-length Par 3 course.
Stone Meadow's driving range contains 70 plus synthetic and natural grass driving stations, a natural grass putting and chipping green, as well as two sand traps for bunker practice. Open seven days a week from seven in the morning to sunset, Stone Meadow offers adult lessons and clinics as well as club fitting, re gripping, and repair services.
With a full lineup of golf supplies available for purchase, you can show up at Stone Meadow, buy a set of clubs, take a beginner's lesson, practice your swing and putting, and head home with a new outlook on golf. The rates for their adult clinics are some of the best in Boston -- golf lessons for $40 per half hour or $70 per hour are hard to beat. If you want, you can have your instructor conduct video analysis of your swing just like the pros do. Besides the low lesson prices, you can purchase blocks of lessons for solid discounts, saving about $60 per five lessons ordered.
One of the best features of Stone Meadow Golf is their seniors program. Seniors can take a free short and informal lesson with Stone Meadow's instructors and pay discounted rates for a round on the Par 3 course. Stone Meadow Golf has a full time staff member dedicated to teaching the game to seniors. Seniors can take a lesson and play a round of golf for just eight bucks.
While it is not in the heart of Boston, golf lessons at Stone Meadow are a great outing for the day, and their discounts on lessons are worth a second look.
If you want to impress your friends during your next round at Farm Neck Golf Club, or tackle the Robert Trent Jones-designed Pines course at International Golf Club in Boston, golf lessons are about the only way you'll pull it off. Seniors to juniors, all levels of playing skills, even beginners can train their golf game in the Boston area.
