Nervous about your first lesson? Here is exactly how it goes.
Key takeaways
- No experience or equipment needed to start
- Wear comfortable sportswear and flat shoes
- Bring water, sunscreen and a cap for UAE conditions
- Group lessons are relaxed and social, never intimidating
Signing up for your first golf lesson is exciting — and, for a lot of women, a little nerve-wracking. The good news: you need zero experience and no equipment to start. Here is what actually happens.
What happens at a first golf lesson?
Your first lesson focuses on the basics: how to hold the club, how to stand, and how to make a simple, balanced swing. In a CwS group lesson you will be with other women at a similar level, so there is no pressure and plenty of laughter.
What should I wear?
Comfortable sportswear and flat trainers or golf shoes are perfect. Avoid sandals or heels. Bring a hat, sunscreen and water — essential in the UAE climate.
What to bring
- Comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing
- Trainers or golf shoes
- Water, sunscreen and a cap
- A curious, relaxed attitude — that is the important bit
Do I need my own clubs?
No. All equipment is provided for beginner lessons, so you can try golf properly before investing in a set of your own.
Mixed Ability Golf Lessons
A relaxed, fun introduction to golf in a social setting. Perfect for groups of friends wanting to try something new.
