Jacob is one of those rare instructors who knows how to instantly diagnose your most critical…read moreerrors and precisely how to address it. This requires both expertise and intense observational skills; but what sets Jacob apart as a coach is his delivery. As a coach, Jacob has a crisp clarity + genuine warmth that clearly sets him apart as a truly exceptional teacher. With an infectious encouragement despite your skill level, Jacob is an outstanding coach + amazing ambassador to the sport of golf! On a personal note, this total noob went from not being able to even make contact with the ball, to being able to hit both irons + driver within 6 lessons. For how insanely difficult this sport is to maintain progress and hit consistently -- especially for this athletically challenged human -- those results speak for themselves. A rare gem indeed.

Exactly what I wanted from a golf coach. Prior to taking lessons, I was enrolled in YouTube…read moreuniversity for several months teaching myself how to swing. Eventually I hit a plateau and was no longer improving. Thanks to Coach Jacob's guidance and expertise, I quickly saw a significant improvement in my swing, accuracy, and overall game. He helped me develop a consistent swing and taught me important strategies for both long and short shots. He really goes the extra mile and records videos that helped me out a ton when I practice alone. What I appreciated most about Coach Jacob is his passion for the sport and his desire to help me succeed. I feel incredibly lucky to have had the opportunity to work with such a knowledgeable and supportive coach, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their golf game.

If you're a beginner, I think that's sufficient for a driver shot. They also have huge fencing on the sides so you be sure that your balls will never fly out of the range, but if it does it won't hit anything but trees and grass. The only downside is subset of the stalls have some light shading overhead. I would imagine they get little foot traffic during peak summer hours. The range has spacious ample parking and it has never been a problem. I think a bigger problem might be finding a stall during peak hours.

The ball dispenser uses an app, which you can preload to get bonus credit. I never had any issues with it. I also never had any other issues while practicing here. So I didn't have a reason to interact with any of the staff. There's plenty of parking, even when it's busy. If they put up more shade then it would've met all of my needs.

I am an absolutely beginner, never having even picked up up a golf club, and I was a little intimidated by the idea of playing golf before I attended High Heel Golfer's workshop. I was happy to get to learn the basics of golf, both on the course and through Jenn's Golf For Business etiquette class. Once I learned that it doesnt matter if you are a "good" golfer, as long as you follow rules of golf etiquette (like not slowing down the game or stepping in someone's "line"), you can still play with more advanced players for business or for fun! I learned so much in her one-day workshop and I look forward to working with Jenn to continue to improve and learn more about how to utilize golf for business!

The course is in phenomenal condition, with beautifully maintained fairways, immaculate greens, and breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean throughout the round. Watching the hang gliders soar overhead while you're playing makes the experience even more memorable. The South Course is definitely challenging, but that's part of what makes it so much fun. You can tell you're playing on a course that's hosted major championships, yet it's still a public course that anyone can experience. Every hole feels unique, and you'll find yourself stopping more than once just to take in the scenery. After the round, we ate at The Grill at Torrey Pines overlooking the course. The food was delicious, the service was friendly, and relaxing on the patio with those incredible golf course views was the perfect way to end the day. The Grill at Torrey Pines is absolutely worth checking out if you're playing a round. (Wish I took more photos) Whether you're a serious golfer or just love visiting iconic courses, Torrey Pines is an unforgettable experience. It's easy to see why golfers from around the world make the trip. We'll definitely be back!

However, when I checked my bank account, I noticed I was charged an additional $200 plus other unexpected charges. I also specifically requested a room with a great ocean view. The front desk assured me I would have an amazing view, but instead, I ended up looking at someone else's window and bushes. This was very disappointing and not what was promised. I called and spoke with someone who said they would look into it and call me back, but it has now been a month and I still have not heard anything. The lack of communication, inaccurate room expectations, and poor customer service have been extremely disappointing. This experience alone is enough that I would not return.

There are four big pine trees with separate retaining walls around three of them for owners to sit down. With it being so close to the bay, there's often a nice breeze that goes through the park. There's no divide between small dogs and big dogs, so it's best to just keep an eye on your dog, and many owners around here are usually respectful. The street parking immediately adjacent to the park is free, however, it has a limit of 30 minutes, and the parking meter workers are strict on it if they're around. I bring my dog here around lunch time because those who live/ work in the area tend to bring their dogs during their break time and my dog gets his socialization time. They close 8am-11am MWF for maintenance/ cleaning. Currently, both gates are broken so it's not as secure as it should be, and who knows when the city will actually fix it. There're a few agility structures and a water dispenser. The children's park itself looks pretty cool for kids with a lot of structures with slides and swings. There's also another separate area with fixed exercise equipment that looks well- maintained. The water feature in the park is a water feature, not a pool.

Where can you find a large art sculpture and the many areas made of wood and the climbing is for exercise.
