Del Lago Golf Club is closed, and the most common question we get is simple: can I still take lessons? Yes. Instruction, Saturday clinics, and junior camps are all still running — the closure affects course play, not coaching.
What's still available
- Private lessons — one-on-one coaching with video swing analysis and a written plan you leave with.
- Lesson packages — 4-pack ($350), 8-pack ($600), and 12-pack ($800) for golfers who want a real block of work, not a one-off tip.
- Saturday clinics and junior camps — see the events page for current dates.
Make a closed course work in your favor
A lot of golfers only improve during a round, which is the worst place to learn. Without a tee time on the calendar, you get something more valuable: uninterrupted reps on the part of your game that's actually costing you strokes.
Spend the time on short game
For most amateurs, more than half of all shots happen inside 100 yards. A month of focused wedge and putting work moves your handicap faster than a month of driver swings.
Fix one thing, not five
Pick a single measurable change — low point control, face at impact, start line — and hold it for four to six weeks. That's exactly how we structure lesson packages.
Who this is for
Golfers in Vail, southeast Tucson, Sahuarita, Green Valley, Benson, and Sierra Vista regularly make the drive. If you're within about 30 minutes, a standing weekly or biweekly lesson is very doable.
