It costs $225 per person but it will be a great introduction to the game, the swing, the rules and the proper etiquette. It also includes a club fitting which would be useful even if you go elsewhere to pick up some clubs. I would assume that you could rent some clubs from them for the program length prior to purchasing.
This is how my wife is going to approach it when we move down.

Agree completely with Russ. First of all, buying clubs ain't what it used to be, if it ever was. With length, shaft, loft, flex, et al, it's real easy to get very confused. Any club will work, but the right club is hard to get.
But a really good point is that you're starting fresh. Oh how I envy you. I'd played just enough golf over the years to learn wrong and develop and solidify some atrocious habits. I'll never be rid of them. You, however, have the chance to put yourself in the hands of good instructors who'll show you how to do it right and ingrain those lessons. No vile habits to unlearn.
Agree with Russ about the New to Golf course taught at Palmer. However, there are a ton of excellent certified instructors both on and off campus at a variety of prices. You should be able to find something/someone to fit your needs and your purse. Then you can worry about clubs.
