I sought out Rick for his successful college coaching credentials. Our first lesson showed he was an impressive and fast observer, and based his coaching on my game, physique, and basic flaws, which he made most understandable. In 5 more lessons, he gave me simple drills, much encouragement, and the order to "remember the good ones, not the bad ones." My accuracy percentage has improved impressively. My former persistent tops have become (mostly) airborne shots with about +8 yards per iron, and 10-15 on woods. I now have a clear idea about how and why proper posture (a big focus) and sequence work together. My short game have improved greatly, with more up and downs. You cannot be disappointed by practicing what he tells you!

In one lesson I went from 1/10 good shots to 7-8/10 good shots. After two lessons, I shot a personal best on the course and hit 15/18 fairways with my driver. 3 weeks ago this would have been unheard of. Michael is a true professional and has a great, relaxed teaching style that gets results. All that's needed is an open mind and to trust the process. I will be continuing lessons with cestone golf academy for the simple reason that I see results on a weekly basis and really, what more could you ask for. 10/10!

Came here for a wedding actually. As a rule I have a great distaste for country clubs because of…read morethe snoot factor. This place is no different. It has a well manicured 18 hole golf course, nine more holes (27 total) gym, two pools, tennis courts and all that. It also has a clubhouse which is the focus of my review. First off, this is the ugliest clubhouse I've ever entered. Think Little Rascals He Man Woman Hater's Club if you're that much into club houses. Ugly brown crown molding, ratty carpeting, ugly beige walls and exposed wood ceilings. The lobby looks like a mausoleum too. After the ceremony in a non cool room (idiots turned on the heat by mistake), we were sent into the reception area, which was the south room and adjoining spaces. At least they actually had on the AC in here. Open bar and passed canapés as one would expect. Some of these canapés including bacon wrapped scallops stand out because they were AWFUL!! I almost spit out the spinach pie; I should've known better when I saw them drizzled with heaven knows what. Scallops over cooked and lousy...at least there was an open bar. After two dark rum and colas, I even had enough of that; cheap lo-rent swill. Salad was simple mixed greens with a slice of cuke, some red onion and a couple of CHILLED cherry tomatoes. Well, there was the next sign that the kitchen doesn't know what it's doing. Tomatoes are supposed to be room temperature; period. Dressing stop said salad was nondescript. For entrees the Queen Bee had crab stuffed grouper and I had filet mignon. Filet was bland but had a halfway decent demiglaze with it. Queen Bee didn't care for her grouper. Everyone else at the table seemed more or less okay with it. To be fair, I didn't try the stuff. Both entrees were accompanied by overcooked asparagus and bland rice pilaf. Blech! I'm sure the wedding party paid good money for this stuff. If this is any sign of how their dining rooms are, then kindly include me OUT of this club. I'd rather graze on the grass from the 10th fairway. The desserts you see are provided by an outside bakery so nothing to say here. Not really much worthwhile or positive to say about having a function here, either. Have it at Chuck E. Cheese or a bowling alley instead! Eh!!

This is a review of the golf range…read more The golf range is well maintained and a great place to practice your swings. They open early: Pro Shop: 8:30 a.m.-9 p.m. daily (Last bucket sold at 9 p.m., 40 balls) Range: 8:30 a.m.-9:45 p.m. daily. Short Game Area: 8:30 a.m.-9:30 p.m. daily (lights out at 9:45 p.m.) Range ball prices (includes 7 percent sales tax): PONY (40 balls), $5.50; QUARTERHORSE (80 balls), $8.50; THOROUGHBRED (120 balls), $11.50 During the summer, my boyfriend likes to purchase a set amount ahead of time through their clubhouse because they'll gift additional credits onto your golf card. With a minimum purchase of $50, they'll add $100 worth to every $50 (basically a ratio of 1:2). I think that's great value! There is a private parking lot that is free. The grass is mostly well kept but sometimes it's more scuffed up than normal but I find it's easy to find a spot that's not too banged up. They have three separate areas to work on chipping, pitching and putting. I think it's a nice touch when you want to work on your short game. They also have private instructors on site so I have seen many people take lessons. My boyfriend has been looking to take some classes because the instructor seems involved even donning a camera on his neck during his session!

The "fitter" that fit me is no longer at this location but…read more..... would I recommend Gofltech at this moment in time? NO. If this review below results in a different outcome, I will keep everyone posted. Read on for EXPLANATION. 1) My driver fitting says that I got fitted for a Cobra Driver that they didn't even have in stock. Not only this one, but they had NO Cobra drivers in their possession. 2) My Iron fitting shows NO DISCERNABLE difference between what I was hitting (Cobra 1 Length Steel Shafts) and the Ping (G435 Graphite). The "fitter" said I should get. When I say no discernable difference, I mean Launch Angle, Decent Angle, Ball Speed, and Off Line (9.7 yds) were THE SAME. The only STAT that was different was the backspin. The Pings were 340 RPMs Lower. Again, NO DISCERNABLE difference. After getting all the wrong answers from the Local Store and told there was no one other than he who could help me (Lie), I contacted the Corporate Office and was given the Name and Phone # for the Regional Manager. Even the Regional Manager told me that he would not have recommended making a change because there was NO DISCERNABLE DIFFERENCE in the clubs. I asked the Regional if the "fitters" were also paid commission on their sales and he hesitated at first and I asked him again, and he said YES. After several back and forth calls with the Regional, he informed me that the best Golftech Marketing would do for me was offer me $600 for my clubs on a trade in. That was less that 1/2 of what I paid them a year ago and my clubs have only been used about 20 rounds and no practicing. I told them I would give them my clubs and $300 toward a comparable club with proper fitting. SecondSwing is their preferred provider for offering to buy clubs that players may want to trade-in. SecondSwing offered me $554. WOW! Golftech offered me a WHOLE WHOOPING $6 more! Of course I turned them down. I know that not everyone will have the experience as I did, but you would think that Golftech Corporate would want to do what was right by the CUSTOMER if for no other reason the Customer was lied to by the fitter and also imputed totally false information about a Driver Fitting, possible, in hopes of earning... that would be the incorrect use of a word, collecting another commission. A. The "fitter imputed false information about the driver fitting and also should not have recommended any change to my iron set based on Golftech's own fitting equipment. B. The person at the store lied to me about not being able to speak to anyone else but him about my concerns. I am still going to try and pursue this by copying this review to upper management in Golftech. I will post a follow-up at a later date.
