I want to start this review with a high-level background of my "golfing profile" to provide readers…read moreof this review with additional context related to my experience with / perspective of Jim Hartnett. I started playing golf when I was 10 years old (now 39yo), learning the game from 3-4 different teaching professionals from the age of 10 - 17. I played competitively via junior golf and high school golf with a low index of 4.2, and currently am a weekend hacker carrying a 6.1 index. After my high school golf "career", I swore off teaching professionals because I found that the lessons I received conflicted with the golf swing my mind and body were searching for. I was lucky enough to stumble upon Jim Hartnett when signing up for a gym membership at the same facility that Jim gives golf lessons at. Prior to meeting Jim in-person, I thoroughly researched him online, and stumbled upon what I believe to be one of the best & most insightful golf books I've ever read--"Golf for the other 80%: The answer to why you can't improve". After reading his book from cover to cover, I knew I needed to see the application of his golf swing theories first hand, and subsequently had a one hour golf lesson with Jim. Simply put, Jim is a true maverick in the golf instruction space. His approach to golf instruction is completely different from the numerous golf lessons I've had in the past. Jim is incredibly knowledgeable about the golf swing and its associated mechanics, applies the latest and greatest golf swing technology into his lessons, and approaches teaching in a much more practical application manner vs theoretical / didactic manner, which I very much appreciated. After my first one hour lesson with Jim, my understanding of the golf swing had taken a quantum leap forward, and many of the golf swing mysteries I had been trying to solve for years were finally put into focus. The following quote from Mickey Mantle ultimately sums up what my experience with Jim Hartnett resulted in for me: "It's unbelievable how much you don't know about the game you've been playing all your life." Thanks Jim.

I decided to take a lesson with Roy, and since my name is also Roy I thought it might be a good omen. McQuiag had me hit a few balls and within five hits he saw a lot of fundamental problems with my grip ALONE. He explained how my grip was effecting my anatomy and thus swing. It was awkward at first but after some clean ones it started to fall into place. Roy's diagnosis was so good I was upset that I'd spent the previous year with instructors who just phoned it in. Roy has integrity and will help you understand what you need to work on that is specific to you. He cares about the people he comes into contact with and it shows. I've since made a commitment to Roy as my instructor moving forward. You should too.

His lessons are well structured and I felt I was making better contact with the ball with every point Roy taught.

My reason for reviewing now is that another reviewer falsely stated that there is crab grass and St. Augustine out there. With all due respect to that reviewer, it's very obviously Kikuyu grass out there and the maintenance crew does an amazing job. All the other staff are very welcoming and helpful. If you're looking for a snobby country club atmosphere, this ain't it. If you love the game, you'll never be let down by Muni.

I started at Golftec in March 2019. I had taken a few lessons back in 2008 but after my golf clubs…read morehad been stolen, I never replaced them until 2019 when I decided to get back into the game. So essentially, I was starting over. My swing was atrocious. I am fairly athletic but just did not have the fundamentals down. My shots with EVERY club went extreme left and right but never straight and never consistent. I have been regularly taking 1-on-1 lessons, once a week and then practicing right after the lesson. I wish I could practice more and realize my results would be even better if I practiced more, but my busy schedule doesn't always allow for it. The lessons are extremely helpful. Being able to record my swing and then break it down has really helped me grasp the concepts and improve my swing. Riley has been a huge influence on my improvement. He pays attention to my swing and analyzes little aspects that make a huge improvement to my game. My shots now are more consistent and travel about 50 yards further on average. I have noticed dramatic improvement and continue to see progress. I am still a student at Golftec and Riley has been great at helping me improve. I finally broke 100, which is probably not a huge feat for most, but for me I wasn't able to finish an 18-round game because I kept running out of golf balls. I love this place and I highly recommend Golftec to anyone who wants to learn how to play to professionals who need to fine tune little aspects of their game. The quality of instruction as well as the technology Golftec employs with both the 1-on-1 lessons as well as practice sessions is well worth the cost. Golftec seems to be consistently working on improving their technology at the benefit of their clients. You will not be disappointed with them.

We were hoping to see Monarch butterflies but they weren't out when we were there in August. The resort has a tram that takes people down to the beach so you'll see that cart driving by throughout your play. One time while we were on the cart path, my friend was getting out and almost got ran over by the shuttle who came on the path behind us. We didn't hear it and there was no warning from the driver. The back 9 had these drones that seemed to be mowing during our game. We figured since they had cameras they would go around us but they didn't. One ran into our golf cart. The other would have ran over my ball if I didn't move it. For $300/round, I would have hoped they would either run these during times when people aren't playing or have the cameras on them so they won't run into you.

Check-in was smooth, we were given a cart, and paired with Marla and Trish, who have played this course for years and made the round even more enjoyable. Holes 4 and 5 were my favorites. There are some challenging shots, but overall it's very playable and beginner-friendly. I'm still learning and walked away with a few bogeys, which felt great. OVERALL I only recently started playing with my best friend, and this has quickly become one of my favorite courses. Great place to play, learn, and enjoy the scenery. I'll definitely be back and hope to make this a regular stop. Highly recommend.

Recently I had the chance to take golf lessons from Seiko. I've noticed the difference after the first lesson with her. I am able to hit the ball much farther than before and with much more confidence than ever. Seiko is a wonderful person, down to earth and very patient with her students. She takes her time with her students explaining the different aspects of the game to you. Seiko teaches out of the South Orange County area, the beautiful Arroyo Trabuco Golf Course. Whether if you live in the area, have to travel from a different county, or even have drive an hour or more to come see her, she is well worth it. You will not be disappointed!
