What Is Golf Instructor Insurance?
Golf instructor insurance is general and professional liability coverage designed to help cover the cost of claims arising from your day-to-day business activities.
For example, if a student injures their knee during a lesson or accidentally snaps one of their prized clubs because of your instruction, your policy could help you cover the costs of these claims.
Plus, our optional gear and equipment coverage can help cover the costs to repair or replace any essential equipment that is damaged or stolen.
How Much Does Insurance for Golf Instructors Cost?
Golf teacher insurance starts at $15 per month. If you’re happy with your coverage, you can save 13% by choosing an annual policy for $159 per year.
Prices may vary based on any additional coverages you add to your plan, your claims history, and annual income.

What Types of Risks and Liabilities Does Golf Instructor Insurance Cover?
Golf instructor insurance covers risks and liabilities like client injury, third-party property damage, damage to rented equipment, legal defense costs, and medical payments.
With occurrence form coverage, you can file a claim at any time for incidents related to injuries or damages that happen during your policy.*
Do Golf Instructors Need Liability Insurance?
Yes, many golf courses, country clubs, and sports facilities require instructors to show proof of insurance.
Accidents happen when you least expect it, and lawsuits or surprise medical claims like these can seriously threaten your business:
- Your student is upset and sues you, claiming you did not make them a pro golfer.
- Your student accidentally crashes a golf cart into another cart full of golfers, causing injuries and property damage.
- You mistakenly use a copyrighted photo in your advertisements.
- You fail to ask about prior injuries and a client aggravates a bad hip, causing them to miss a big work meeting.
Even if you are not at fault for these incidents, you can still face large legal fees and time off the course to defend yourself in court.
Golf instructor liability insurance helps you pay for attorneys, lost wages, medical care, damaged property, and fighting wrongful lawsuits to protect your reputation.
Plus, our occurrence form coverage makes it easy to cover accidents with lasting effects, like a student injury causing later medical complications.

July 11, 2025I needed a portable policy as a yoga instructor. I found this company in an online search. Called and got details from them, was quite surprised at how affordable... Read More it would be. Then when I was ready to make my purchase, I called again. Was explained to me that everything was done online, I told the lady on the phone I didn't want to make this kind of purchase online with no guidance. She was so helpful and kind and patient! Walked me thru every page of the form and honestly didn't take long at all. Hope I never need to use the policy but nice to know I have it.

This company really paid off for me and at $40 a month, I will keep using them as long as I do Energy Audits. I’m a real person my name is Chad Laibly and my company is Home Energy Assessors. You can verify that by googling it.

Questions About Golf Instructor Liability Insurance
Is Golf Instructor Insurance Required by Law or Just Recommended for Best Practice?
Golf instructor insurance, like many types of fitness instructor insurance, is generally not required by law, but it is highly recommended for best practices.
Some courses or facilities might require certain types of insurance for sports instructors, and professional associations for golf instructors might provide specific guidance or requirements for their members.
Does Golf Coach Insurance Cover Damage to My Equipment?
Yes, golf instructor insurance that includes gear and equipment coverage can cover damage to your equipment.
You can add our gear and equipment coverage (also known as inland marine insurance) to your base policy for as low as $1.33 a month. Simply select a coverage tier and enjoy up to $10,000 in protection.
It protects the property you use for your golf instructor business against theft as well as damages that arise during lessons. This can include golf clubs, tees, balls, shoes, bags, and devices you use to accept electronic payments.
For example, if your golf equipment was stolen from your car as you were getting gas while driving between sessions, or a student accidentally snapped the clubhead off one of the clubs you provided at a lesson, insurance can cover these types of claims.
Do I Still Need Liability Insurance If My Company Has Business Insurance?
Yes, you still need liability insurance even if your company has business insurance.
Business insurance protects things like property, business income, workers comp, vehicles, and commercial damages. But the primary purpose of general liability insurance is to protect you should a student get hurt during a lesson or cause damage to a course where you’re teaching, for example.
Insurance Canopy’s golf teacher insurance policy also includes:
- Professional liability
- Product-completed operations coverage
- Personal and advertising injury
- Gear and equipment coverage
- No-fault medical expense limit
Having these additional coverages helps you manage the risks and liabilities of your business activities as a golf instructor.

Does My Golf Instructor Liability Insurance Cover Me Anywhere I Work?
If you’re a golf teacher employed by another business, such as a country club, sports facility, or private training center, you will most likely be required to carry golf instructor liability insurance.
This ensures you have a personal policy that protects you from claims made against you as the instructor. It also allows you to name the location or venue as an additional insured on your policy. If your negligence leads to a claim, your policy could also protect the facility where the incident happened.
