Want to learn how to play golf? This is the place.\n\nI started last summer with the 101 lesson with Chris Leatherman, who is a great instructor for a beginner like me, or people who have been playing casually like some other people in the class.\n\nClasses are very intimate, only 4-8 people per group, and very moderately priced. One-on-one lessons are also available, as well as intermediate and all-women classes.\n\nThe people who work there are laid-back and accommodating. I'm on a first name and joking basis with all of them, as they just tend to put you at ease, give you the occasional tip, or just shoot the breeze. \n\nThe driving range is great. Options range from private booths for both lefties and righties, off the group, and also up on the deck. The chipping range is large, and has a sand pit to practice out of. There are also two large and well-kept putting greens. \n\nEn short, schedule some lessons, grab a bucket of beers and enjoy the range and good conversation. The place is open late with good lighting, in a convenient location.
