Why do it here
The intimidating part of golf isn't the swing. It's everyone watching you learn it.
Most people never start golf because the first step happens in public. A busy range, a queue behind you, a clubhouse full of people who already know what they're doing. So you don't begin.
This is the opposite of that. Three quiet days on uncrowded Lithuanian courses, one coach giving you his full attention, and by the end a green card that lets you walk onto a course anywhere and look like you belong. You learn it once, properly, somewhere no one is watching.
Who does this
Three kinds of people. One good reason each.
The proper beginning
You've always meant to take up golf. Not a rushed lesson squeezed into a Saturday, but a real start you'll remember. Come on your own or with a friend and make a trip of it.
The quiet catch-up
You're meant to know golf for work, and somehow never learned. Rather than fumble in front of people you know, learn it somewhere far from home and walk onto your next client round already comfortable.
The group that learns together
Friends, a couple, or a whole team. Everyone starts level on day one and has something real to show for it by day three. More on the group version below.
What the three days look like
From never-held-a-club to card in hand.
The swing that repeats
Grip, stance, and one swing you can trust. A little range work to find it, then straight onto the grass. Two hours with Donatas, all of it on you.
Out on the course
Real holes, real situations. Where to stand, how to keep pace, what to do when the ball goes sideways. The etiquette that makes you look like you belong.
Play, then the green card
A few holes to put it together, then the assessment: rules, etiquette, and showing you can keep a game moving. Card in hand by the afternoon.
About the card
What the green card is, and what it isn't.
The green card is a certificate that you know the rules, the etiquette, and can play at a safe pace. Across much of Europe, courses ask to see one before they let you out, and it's the usual first step toward getting a handicap.
We'll be straight about its reach. It's recognised at courses across Europe that ask for proof of ability. The UK and US mostly don't use the concept, but they also rarely ask, so you're free to play there too. We issue it through Capitals Golf Club, a member of the Lithuanian Golf Federation, and we'll tell you exactly what it covers before you book. We'd rather be precise than oversell a piece of paper.
Groups & companies
Bring the whole group.
Team building that sticks
An offsite that isn't another escape room. Learning golf levels everyone: the CFO and the new hire both miss the ball on day one. By day three the whole team shares something they'll actually use again.
Client entertaining runs on golf
A lot of business still happens on a course. If you host clients but can't yet play, this is the discreet way to fix that before it matters, away from anyone you'd rather not learn in front of.
Groups and companies are quoted individually. Tell us the size and dates and we'll put a number together.
Enquire for a groupWhy Lithuania
A good place to be a beginner.
- · Courses are uncrowded, so a beginner is never holding up a queue or feeling watched.
- · A fraction of the cost of a golf academy in the US or Spain, without feeling budget.
- · Genuinely far from home if that's the point, and an easy hop from Poland, the Baltics, the Nordics, and Germany.
- · Vilnius is a proper weekend city, so the hours off the course aren't wasted either.
Common questions
Before you book.
- Do I need any experience?
- None. Most people who do this have never held a club. That is the whole point. You start on day one with the basics and finish on day three playing real holes.
- What is a green card, exactly?
- A certificate that says you know the rules, the etiquette, and can play at a safe pace. Across much of Europe (Germany, the Nordics, the Baltics) courses ask to see one before they let you out, and it is the usual first step toward a handicap.
- Is it really valid everywhere?
- It is recognised at courses across Europe that ask for proof of ability. The UK and US mostly do not use the concept, but they also rarely ask, so you can play there too. We issue it through Capitals Golf Club, a member of the Lithuanian Golf Federation, and we will tell you exactly what it covers before you book. We would rather be precise than oversell the paperwork.
- What does €500 cover, and what is extra?
- The guide price of €500 per person covers the six hours of coaching with Donatas across the three days, the green fees for your rounds, loan clubs, and the green card assessment itself. Only your hotel and transfers sit on top, and we arrange those around it so it stays one clean plan. Tell us your dates and group and we will put the full number in front of you.
- Can we come as a group or a company?
- Yes, and it works better that way. A pair, a group of friends, or a company offsite. Groups and corporate bookings are quoted individually. Learning together levels everyone out, and by day three you all have something you will actually use again.
- Do I need my own clubs?
- No. We sort loan clubs so you can turn up with nothing and just play. If you already have a set and want to bring it, even better.
- How fit do I need to be?
- If you can walk a few miles over three unhurried days, you are fine. There is no rush and no one keeping score of your misses.
