Academy FAQs

You’ve got questions, we’ve got answers. If our FAQs don’t address your question, just contact us and we’ll happily respond.

How do I sign up for a class?

Check out our calendar and you’ll see classes displayed in purple.

I’m not seeing a class that’s relevant to me on your calendar, what should I do?

No worries, we got you! Just contact our front-desk or fill out this form to request a private lesson for you and up to 3 of your friends or family members.

Do you offer private lessons?

Yes, we do! Contact our front desk or fill out this form to request a private lesson—whether it’s one-on-one, semi-private, or group private—and we’ll pair you with one of our teaching professionals.

Do I need to be a member to take a class or private lesson?

Nope, you don’t. Members and non-members can register for classes within 30 days of the class date. Private lessons are also available to non-members.

What’s the difference between coaching and drilling?

Drilling focuses on high-repetition practice in a structured group setting with other players, helping you build consistency and refine your skills. Coaching, on the other hand, offers personalized improvement through tailored advice and custom sessions led by New England’s most experienced pros, designed to target exactly what your game needs to take it to the next level.

Is there an age restriction for taking classes?

Kids between the ages 10 and 16 are more than welcome to take our Quick Start classes but must take the class with a parent or guardian.
