HOW TO
NAVIGATE THIS WHOLE GOLF & TACOS THING
We won’t sugar coat it, golf is hard.
It will take you more than a few lessons to get the hang of it, so we decided to start building a longer-term pathway women can follow at their own pace. Kind of like a golf road map!
But, there’s still a lot to consider along your journey to the LPGA (just kidding, we aren’t trying to prepare you to go Pro). We do want you to feel comfortable as you hit the links with friends, family, clients, and coworkers. We want you to have access to great instruction in a way that works for your schedule, your timeline, and your abilities.
We have developed an ecosystem of Core Programs, Classes, Communi-Tee Times, On-Course Socials, Digital Connection, and more.
All of these are designed with one main key intention in mind: LEARN, PRACTICE, PARTY, CONNECT.
What you’ll get in all of them is a relaxed, welcoming, and supportive environment.
OUR ECOSYSTEM OF EXPERIENCES
Read more about what each program includes below. Heads-up! Tacos aren’t always included. This keeps your program cost reasonably priced. Though we DO encourage you to stick around after your programs and hang with other golfers. This is your COMMUNITY, make the most of it!
PICKING THE RIGHT PROGRAM
STEP 1: DETERMINE YOUR SPICY LEVEL
IF YOU’RE NEW TO GOLF & TACOS
Welcome! Your first step is to figure out what your SPICY LEVEL is (aka, how we categorize our programs so you can gradually get spicier as your game develops).
Brand new to golf? You are a MILD. You’re next step is to grab a MILD 4-Week Course offered as a group lesson and learn the basic fundamentals before signing up for anything else. Once you take MILD you’ll become a MILD+ and can register for other programs! Please don’t skip this part. Setting that foundation will help you avoid feeling overwhelmed, and will help you get the most out of every other program you participate in.
Previous golf experience? Head to the SPICY LEVELS page and see which one fits your background. Once you know what level you’d like to register for, we recommend grabbing a MEDIUM, HOT, or SPICY 4-Week Course or a Workshop offered as a group lesson so that you can make sure your technique is dialled in, learn some of the skills you should be able to perform at those levels, and prepare for more advanced on-course programs like Play with a Pro.
IF YOU’RE AN ALUMNI
Alumni who have taken a 4-Week Course before, you may want to try something different like Play with a Pro Courses, or take the next Spicy Level 4-Week Course. You can also tune up your game at a workshop or grab a few Skills & Drills Classes throughout the season. Ready to play? Reserve and play with members at our Communi-Tee Times, OR, go all out and come party at one of the on-course socials. More details below!
STEP 2: FIND A LOCATION
Find a LOCATION near you.
British Columbia: Vancouver/Area, Victoria, Kelowna/West Kelowna
Alberta: Calgary, Edmonton
Saskatchewan: Saskatoon, Regina (delayed)
Program offerings will vary a bit in every location.

If you don’t see your location, you can connect digitally with other golfers in our (*beta stage*) Canada-wide social network, Golf & Tacos Social Club. This digital space is an extension of our brand designed to help you find a golf community outside of our lessons and events. Learn more here.
STEP 3: REGISTER FOR PROGRAMS
All of our offerings are ‘pay as you go’. This means you can design a summer program that works for your schedule, budget, and enthusiasm!
Head back up to the chart above to decide if you want to do more LEARNING, PRACTICING/PLAYING, PARTYING, or just wish to CONNECT and organize your own experiences with new golf pals.
