Golf Instruction

Elevate Your Game


Whether you are new to golf, wish to fine-tune your swing mechanics, or want to enhance your shot-making and strategic skills, The Club at Snoqualmie Ridge has an instructional program for you. We offer a wide spectrum of instructional options for golfers of all ages and abilities including private instruction, golf clinics, group lessons and on-course instruction - all designed to help each student achieve his or her personal goals and objectives.

In addition to clinics and lessons for adults, we offer a comprehensive junior golf program for young members ages 7-17. Learn more about our junior golf program.

Operation 36

The Operation 36 program is designed to teach golfers to play the game from a hole out perspective. Each golfer will set up a profile in the Operation 36 Mobile App to track progress towards shooting par or better (score of 36) for 9 holes.  Each practice is focused on developing skills utilizing drills/competition thru fun activities.  On the course, students begin teeing off as close as 25 yards from the hole and progressing further back as they shoot 36 or better. This gives them a course that’s appropriate to their skill level, makes pace of play a non-issue and gives then clear goals to achieve.

I'm not just a golf professional, but I'm also an amateur endurance athlete. The perspective of personally being coached, mentored and developed bymy own "team" in another sport has profoundly impacted how I coach golfers and relate to their journey in golf.

 

Robert Wells, Director of Player Development

I have 25 years of programming experience from development to deployment with various companies. To build a great program as a leader, coach, mentor; you need to be passionate about communication. My motto has always been that communication is about empathy: showing genuine concern for someone's needs is what builds trust and loyalty.
 
We have built "great" programs here at Snoqualmie Ridge but strive every year to build better programs!
 
On the instruction side of my career, I continue to learn/grow/develop my golf knowledge by working with my leader, coach, mentor: Mike Malaska.  His 50 years of golf experience is in a rare league of individuals. Mike learned from some of the biggest names in golf instruction, has numerous instructor awards and is outstanding PGA player.  It is a privilege to be associated with Mr. Malaska and firmly believe that continuing to spend time under his tutelage makes me a better instructor.
