Appreciate any tips, suggestions, recommendations for a question asked by my 12-year old granddaughter. I am not a golfer.

She asked if it was possible during her summer visit to get begin beginning golf lessons from a golf instructor in the area. Of course, this would entail rental of clubs appropriate to her age. It might be a worthwhile quest if she finds she likes it well-enough to use her summer visits to pursue learning and practicing. I want to encourage and support her. Way later, there's the question of where to play that wouldn't impede adult players on Village courses. Doubt there are area courses for young people unless it's connected with Charter School sports. I'm guessing it is adviseable to continue instruction and golf range practice until she is at a level ready to play on regular courses. I'm out of my depth on this subject, but I've learned this site/forum has a wealth of seasoned members on practically any subject.

Perhaps there are grandparents who have had a similar experience.

Thanks for any tips or even an instructor's contact info who works with children.
