Question 1

How much does a typical golf lesson cost?

Accepted Answer

Most lessons on Forepost run between $100 and $150 an hour, with the rate displayed on every coach’s profile before you ever reach out. The price on the page is the price you pay — Forepost doesn’t run quote requests, so there is no negotiation step and no back-and-forth before you see the number.

Question 2

Are Forepost coaches actually PGA-certified?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every coach on Forepost holds an active PGA of America membership. We verify it on signup and re-check it on the first of every month; if a membership lapses, the profile is unfeatured until it renews, so the PGA badge you see is current.

Question 3

How does the booking process work?

Accepted Answer

Pick a coach, send a short request (one swing thought, one fit question, one preferred tee time), and the coach replies with a calendar link. Payment is collected upfront and held by Forepost until the day of the lesson — if the coach cancels, you get it back with one tap, and reschedules are two taps.

Question 4

What should I bring to a lesson?

Accepted Answer

Bring your normal set (or the coach can lend a half set on day one if you’re new), comfortable shoes, and a notebook or your phone for the swing thoughts the coach gives you. The coach handles the balls, the practice time on the facility, and any on-range video they want to capture.

Question 5

How long is a typical lesson?

Accepted Answer

Most lessons are one hour of on-range or on-course time, ending with a short debrief and one swing thought to take away. Coaches on Forepost also offer 30-minute check-ins for returning students and 90-minute playing lessons when you want to work shots from the course rather than the grass — the length is set when you book.
