Group Instruction

University Ridge offers a variety of different group instruction classes throughout the golfing season to meet the needs of all types of golfers. The group size in all classes never exceeds five students in order to give each student enough personal time with the instructor. All group lessons are conducted on our newly remodeled practice facility which has a separate tee for instruction, a chipping green, and practice bunkers. If the class times don’t work out for your schedule you may set up a private class for the same price for three or more people.



The instructor for all of our adult group classes is PGA Head Golf Professional, Ryan Wieme. Ryan has been an instructor at University Ridge for nine seasons and was the 2008 Wisconsin Assistant Professional of the Year. His goal with all the group classes is to provide a fun and informative environment that allows students the ability to ask questions, learn at his/her own pace, and improve their overall golf ability. To contact Ryan about entering one of the classes below email him at rw2@athletics.wisc.edu or call (608) 497-4456
