HOW TO BOOK YOUR PRIVATE LESSON
Please call our office at 1-503-997-2063 or email us to make a private lesson appointment with Jim Waldron. Please do not call the pro shop at Meriwether National Golf Club to make a lesson reservation. All reservations must come through our office.
Lesson time slots are limited and fill up quickly in the busy summer golf season so we highly recommend booking your lesson early. Normally our lesson schedule is full two weeks out though we can sometimes fit you in sooner.
We require payment in advance for all of our private lessons. Payment is due by credit card at the time the lesson appointment is made. Visa or Mastercard are accepted.
LESSON PAYMENT AND CANCELLATION POLICY: If you must cancel your lesson, please do so within a minimum of seven days of your lesson appointment so that we will have the opportunity to schedule a replacement student into your cancelled time slot. No refunds will be issued for students who fail to show up for their scheduled lesson or for cancellations received within seven days of the lesson appointment.
WEATHER CANCELLATIONS: Occasionally our students call us on the day of a scheduled lesson to cancel due to bad weather. It may be raining hard in their section of the Portland metro area but at Quail Valley Golf Course the weather is fine. We rarely need to cancel our scheduled lesson days due to bad weather anymore since we now have two covered instruction areas at Quail Valley Golf Course. In the rare case of really nasty weather, we will make the call, if needed, to cancel the day's lessons due to bad weather and we will contact each of our scheduled students the night before or the morning of the lesson day to inform them of this. If we do not call you to cancel due to bad weather, please assume that the weather is fine at the golf course, and we expect you to show up as planned.
