Lake Spanaway Learn to Golf Program This year round Learn to Golf Program will guide juniors through the introduction of the game, learning skills necessary to enjoy the game for a lifetime or compete at any level. Juniors new to the program but not new to the game do not need to start at the beginner level to benefit from this program. Contact the Golf Professionals at Lake Spanaway (253) 531-3660 and schedule a skills test to determine their position in the program. The skills test to pass into a level is universal. Class is structured for fundamentals, proper technique, rules of the game, and much more. Each level will teach the skills necessary for using each club in both full swing and short game settings. Upon completion of the Beginner Level 3, juniors will be ready to advance to Intermediate levels.
FootGolf is a combination of golf and soccer! The game is played very similar to golf but with a regulation #5 soccer ball instead of clubs, the holes are shortened and the goal is to kick the ball into 21-inch diameter cups using the least amount of kicks as possible. The rules largely correspond to the rules of golf. Rates*:
