I am so glad I have found this place!!! I decided to take up golf lessons as an investment in my…read morecareer (I work in a "good ole boys' club" environment) but my lessons have now turned into my happy place! My instructor is Tommy Samaha and I am SO glad that I got him. He is kind, empathetic, and truly passionate about helping people learn how to golf. One minute with this guy and there is no mistaking that he lives for what he does!! He explains things in a way anyone can understand and in just a few months he has gotten me from an absolute rookie with NO golfing experience (I did not even know how to hold a club) to.... Well, still a rookie, but a rookie that almost has a fully formed swing! This man is changing my life and I look forward to my lessons with him every Monday. I do not leave a single lesson without a smile on my face! Aside from the instruction, the facility is perfect for someone looking to learn their swing for the first time or improve upon foundations they have already learned. Each lesson and practice will involve 2 camera angles that allow you to play back your swing in slow motion so you can really get a good idea of what you're doing well and what you're doing wrong. After each lesson you also get a recap of your lesson with playback videos and instructor voice overs to walk you through what you just learned so you can continue to build upon it. And if you're a sweaty person like me, it is an incredible privilege to learn in an air conditioned room during a hot Phoenix summer! The only thing I would change about this place is that there isn't ever any music going, so practice sessions feel a little quiet and tend lead to overthinking and frustration (for me, at least). Other than that, this place is amazing and I am so glad I decided to start my golfing journey here. Thank you, Tommy! You are such a treasure!!

In less than a year, I went from missing the ball more often than I hit it to feeling confident about playing a round in public with my husband. Tommy reminds me that I am a work in progress and that I'm always improving. I enjoy Tommy's intuitive teaching style, and I can feel how invested he is in my success. I can't wait to see where the next year takes me with my coach's support.

I just had a lesson this past weekend with Joel from John Jacobs Golf Academy at Orange Tree…read moreResort. I am new to golf and was very impressed with Joel and the lesson. It's a bit intimidating to be a senior lady who is starting out but Joel made me very comfortable and he really seemed to have the ability to assess my swing and then give me simple recommendations to correct issues. He was very clear, patient and very professional. I am looking forward to signing up for additional lessons in the future. I liked that they take the students out to a more private area where you can feel less intimidated. I would highly recommend. My husband who is a long-time golfer observed a portion of the lesson and he was very impressed as well and will also be taking lessons from Joel in the future.

I have attended several golf schools, but this is unquestionably the best. Matt and Mike were our…read moreinstructors at their Orange Tree Resort location in Scottsdale. My son and I attended their four day school and it was beyond any of our expectations. I have played golf for the past 15+ years and my son played a bit when he was younger, but he has not picked up a club for at least ten years. They have a max 4:1 student:instructor ratio, which gives the pros plenty of time to give each student the attention they need. My son just wanted to be able to play with friends and clients and not shank it off the tee. In four days, he only had one errant tee shot and, by the end of class, he was hitting 220+ off the tee, and straight! Both of our short games improved dramatically over the four day school. My goals were to get another 10-15 yards off the tee and to improve my short game, both of which I accomplished, and more. The pace is perfect, with four hours of instruction each morning and then a tee time to play every afternoon. The instructors took a sincere interest in each one of us in our group and the entire experience was well beyond both of our expectations. Also, when I went to sign up, I had a lot of questions and spoke with Scott on the phone. He spent a lot of time with me and left nothing unanswered. If you are looking for a fun and productive golf school, this is the one for you. Also, if you are going with friends or family members who are at different levels, from never hitting to single digit, you will all benefit and have a great time!!

We also learned that Michael was at ASU when we were, and Joey is a fellow Air Force veteran (thanks for your service, brother)! Would have hung out all day talking golf and life with these guys.

We had been there before and this was 1000% better. Great job guys. Gil spent time with several people, he is very personable. Very great demeanor.

We'll have to see what the cost is. Which says a lot because my son is nervous. Oh yeah, the putting green is very good too. You should go to this place. It is a great time.

If you're serious about improving, he teaches you how to practice like a pro--with engaging drills, fun games, and a strong focus on the mental side of the game. Since training with Gil, I've seen consistent improvement in my performance every week. His coaching not only helps refine technique but also builds confidence and strategic thinking on the course. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced player looking to level up, I can't recommend Gil highly enough--10/10 for anyone serious about learning the game!

Great putter fitting. 2 handicap and never down a putter fitting. It was very helpful.read more

The Good / Budget Gap / Reality / etc…read more The Good: The facility at Grayhawk is top-tier (outdoor range, Pro V1s), and my fitter, Justin, was friendly and knowledgeable. The data gathered on the driver and irons was solid. I'm TPI certified (but not in the golf industry), so I came in as an informed golfer with clear goals and a clear budget. The Budget Gap: I set a firm $6,000 all-in budget. I explicitly told them that if they couldn't hit that number, I would use my TPI discount to order directly from Titleist. I was assured this wouldn't be an issue. The Reality: Despite knowing my budget relied on my Titleist preference, there was no noticeable effort to keep me in OEM-friendly shaft options. Which wasn't a concern during the fitting because I was assured budget was not an issue. We moved to specific aftermarket profiles and, while they performed well, the Cool Clubs markups and build fees pushed the final quote to over $7,500 (excluding taxes and a putter)--missing the budget by thousands. The Catch: When I tried to execute my "Plan B" (ordering direct), I hit a wall. The specific shaft profiles I was fitted for were not available on the OEM custom portal or major retailers like TGW. I was left with a spec sheet I couldn't easily use, despite being clear up front that this was required if they couldn't hit my budget. The "Standalone Service" Issue: Cool Clubs states the $500 fitting fee is for a standalone premium service. If that's the model, the service needs to be outstanding, regardless of whether you purchase the clubs from them. Mine wasn't. * We never hit a single wedge shot during a "full bag" fitting. * I specifically chose them for MOI matching, but we never measured MOI. * I said I wasn't bought into SST Puring, yet it was still included in the quote anyway. The Aftermath: Post-fitting, I emailed asking for specific length/lie data to resolve the ordering issues. My questions were ignored, and I was told to just "order from us." I escalated to management regarding the lack of follow-up support and received no response at all. The Verdict: After realizing the Titleist custom portal didn't stock the specific shafts I needed, I searched for a builder that actually carried the "Cool Clubs spec" components. I eventually found that Fairway Jockey in Scottsdale had the exact inventory to match the build sheet 1-to-1. I was able to order the identical set through them for about $2,000 less (minus SST Puring). They simply filled the order as requested without trying to upsell me. * Go here if: You have an essentially unlimited budget and having the "Cool Clubs" sticker on your shaft matters more to you than price. or you value the outdoor fitting and have a trusted club builder. * Avoid if: You expect the $500 fee to guarantee actionable, OEM-usable data. You may leave with a "custom tailored" spec sheet that you cannot actually buy on your own without doing a massive amount of cross-referencing between Cool Clubs' "static" measurements and the varying "standard +/-" measurements used by retailers.

Full disclosure - I had swung a golf club maybe 2 times in my life before taking lessons. I am SO glad that I took lessons with Jim. He is very knowledgeable about the sport, but takes time to really understand you and works with you in the best method it takes for you to learn. You constantly see him writing notes and taking videos of your lessons (he also shares the videos with you after - self reflection and analysis is important!) and his feedback always makes me improve and feel better about my golf game. He truly caters the lesson to your needs and your abilities. He took time to really explain everything to me and answer all my (probably silly) questions and never made me feel dumb about not knowing golf terms or rules. He is very active and involved during the lesson which I appreciate so much. Definitely recommend Jim and taking lessons with him!!

Jim simplifies the approach and spends time on basics while leaving other fixes for later down the road. This removes the stress of trying to fix 10 things at once and gives you one swing thought to think about at a time. Jim also spends time on HOW to practice which is something my previous coaches didn't get into as much. Lessons always feel like you are making useful progress and never like you're just at the range with someone watching. changes things up each time, integrating some chipping practice, putting, etc. as you go so things never feel stale.
