Golf Instruction and Lessons
University Ridge offers a variety of different group instruction classes throughout the golfing season to meet the needs of all types of golfers. The group size in all classes never exceeds five students in order to give each student enough personal time with the instructor. All group lessons are conducted on our newly remodeled practice facility which has a separate tee for instruction, a chipping green, and practice bunkers. Many of the sessions also include on-course instruction. If the class times don't work out for your schedule you may set up a private class for the same price for three or more people.
Outing Information

BUT, I assure you, there are none that will do a better job of providing your group with a fun, enjoyable golf experience and a "can-do" attitude of service to back it up. That is why University Ridge is the most popular choice for tournaments and outings. Whether the outing is for client appreciation, a 144 player charity tournament, 16 guys on a golf getaway or just a company fun day, we work hard to ensure you're completely satisfied. More and more corporations, associations and private groups choose us each year and return to University Ridge again and again!
