What Golf Instruction Is Available at Pine Ridge Golf Club?

Updated

Pine Ridge Golf Club offers golf instruction through its Golf Academy, which the club identifies as a Golf Channel Academy. The website's Academy page links to a "Learn More" option, so the specific lesson formats, schedules, and pricing need to be confirmed directly with the club. If you are looking for a structured instructional program rather than casual tips, the Academy is the entry point to check first.

What the Club Says About Instruction

The club's site lists Golf Academy as one of its main offerings, alongside the golf course, driving range, restaurant, pro shop, and tee times. It labels the program a Golf Channel Academy, which indicates an affiliation with the Golf Channel Academy instructional network rather than a standalone in-house program.

The site does not publish a lesson menu, coach roster for Pine Ridge specifically, or pricing on the pages captured. Those details require contacting the club or following the Academy's "Learn More" link.

Coaching Depth Behind the Academy

Pine Ridge is now managed by Brooke Management Group, which states it oversees a growing portfolio of golf facilities and instruction programs across Long Island. According to the site, that portfolio includes:

  • 13+ coaches
  • 5 locations
  • Golf Channel Academy programming
  • Courses and facilities including Bethpage, Harbor Links, Montauk Downs, The 9@ Merrick Golf Course, and Pine Ridge

This matters if you are comparing instruction options: the Academy at Pine Ridge sits inside a larger coaching network, so lesson availability may draw on coaches who also work across the group's other Long Island locations. The site does not specify how coaches are assigned to Pine Ridge or whether lessons are seasonal.

How to Get Lesson Details

Because the site does not list lesson types, rates, or booking steps, use these routes:

  1. Academy page – Select "Learn More" from the Golf Academy section to reach the instruction program's own information.
  2. Pro shop – The site includes a Pro Shop page, a common contact point for lesson inquiries at public courses.
  3. Phone – The club lists 631-331-7930 as its contact number.
  4. Email list – The site invites visitors to join an email list for updates on course improvements, new amenities, events, and offers, which may include instruction announcements.

When you contact them, ask specifically about: lesson formats (private, group, junior, clinics), coach credentials, pricing, and whether instruction is affected by the ongoing range closure.

A Timing Consideration: The Driving Range Is Temporarily Closed

The site states the driving range is temporarily closed while new soil and seed are applied, with a target reopening of Saturday, September 26. Since practice facilities are often where lessons and warm-ups happen, instruction that depends on the range may be limited or relocated during this period. Confirm with the club whether Academy lessons are running and where they are being held.

What Else Is Changing

Brooke Management has announced a multi-year transformation of Pine Ridge, with planned elements that touch instruction and practice:

  • Course renovations and playing-condition improvements
  • A modernized clubhouse and gastropub atmosphere
  • Enhanced practice facilities and driving range experiences
  • Technology-driven amenities, including planned Inrange® interactive driving range technology, GPS-equipped golf carts, and autonomous delivery robots

The Inrange® system, once installed, is the kind of technology that often supports data-driven coaching, but the site presents it as planned rather than active. Treat enhanced practice technology as a future development, not a current instructional feature.

Bottom Line

Pine Ridge Golf Club's instruction offering is the Golf Academy, presented as a Golf Channel Academy and backed by a management group with 13+ coaches across five Long Island locations. The website does not publish lesson types, pricing, or booking steps, so the practical next move is to call 631-331-7930, check the Academy's "Learn More" link, or ask at the pro shop — and to confirm whether the temporary driving range closure affects the lessons you want.
