I've been wanting to understand golf on a deeper level for a while, and she created such a comfortable and encouraging environment where I could ask questions...even the ones that felt a little silly... Her knowledge of the game is impressive, and she breaks things down in a way that's easy to understand while still being incredibly effective. She gives feedback and practical tips that have genuinely helped me improve and feel more confident in my swing. You can immediately tell that golf is her true passion, and that energy shines through in every bit of direction and encouragement she gives. She celebrates the small wins with you while patiently helping you work through improvement. I always leave each session feeling motivated, accomplished, and excited to keep practicing. If you're looking for a coach who makes learning golf both fun and empowering, Michelle is truly a hole-in-one! Proof that the right coach makes all the difference on and off the course. Thank you so much Michelle! The epic 5 star reviews is a telling sign that you are an incredible coach and appreciate your guidance!

He is very detailed about understanding the basic and theories of swing so my swing can be repeatable. It is like breaking down the "physics" of golf by bits and having you to understand why each bit is important for a good swing. A little note form my lesson today: Gear 1: body Gear 2: arms Gear 3: hand and clubs - They should be lock, unlock, lock OR unlock, lock, unlock. NO 2 connecting locks or unlocks. Stage 1: gear 2 movement, gear 1 and 3 lock. Make sure the swing up is above the plane (or above "water level") then swing down plane. Armpit is connected to the body and not loose, loose of arm and body will cause gear to loosen up. Stage 2: arm swing with hip movement finish; or 3 quarter swing. Starts with stage 1, finish with hip rotation forward, left hip on top of ankle (weight forward). And slight head tilt.

Yumi exhibits this patience as well as dedication and passion for the intricacies of golf. Yumi's dissection of my golf swing with the use of the revolutionary iPad has given me a new perspective on my swing. Along with the use of video and Yumi's thorough explanation, I can now analyze what my swing looked like before the lesson and after the lesson. Using video, Yumi pointed out my angles, movement, body position, head position, etc of my swing and how it compares to a pro golfer. I was able to walk out of my lesson with a more focused approach on my swing. I know some of my habits now and how to work on simplifying my swing. Because I only had one lesson, I was given a lot of info but given just a few tips to really focus on without being too overwhelmed and over thoughtful. Yumi has given me a new outlook on how to approach my swing, especially at the driving range. No longer will I go to the range thinking I know what to work on. I can now go to the range with a new, simplified approach to my swing. I absolutely recommend Yumi Chung for your golf instruction!

She was able to fit me in her schedule and I got a lesson with her right away. She taught me the basics from putting to full swings in a very easy to understand kinda way. Additionally, she also offered video analysis, which was a neat application where you can actually see your swings and stance on a screen. I appreciated her patience with me while I asked her repetitive questions. I will definitely continue my lessons with her until I can confidently play by myself. Overall, highly recommended!

Sometimes there can be a 1 to 5 yard difference from the posted yardage. You will need a Sand Wedge and Putter, a 3rd club could be a 60 degree or a PW. I wish there was a chipping practice area like the El Segundo Lakes course. Great experience! Felt like a resort in Arizona.

Sand is so compacted and hard it makes shots more difficult than they have to be . There are also no ball washing stations on the entire course ! They have a bucket of water one the first hole !

I probably won't golf there again .

And there are two level. The course is in excellent shape. Greens are well maintained. This is a shorter course 9 holes par 29. Can finish the round in less than 90min. They also have a cafe I am looking forward to trying eventually. There is also a pro shop that is fully stocked with everything: Clubs, apparel, golf gear, and even a grip shop. I highly recommend Monterey Park Golf Course!

My friend and I each got a bucket for $16 and the balls get sent straight to your assigned, automatic bay so no more lugging around buckets and bending over to tee up. The range is clean, well-lit, well-kept, with seating for each bay. Mats are also in decent condition. Unfortunately, we weren't told of a 1-hour time limit when we paid so my friend and I each lost ~25 balls when we were cut off. Perhaps they made announcements about this via the loudspeaker but it all just sounded muffled and I could barely hear. Only found out about the limit when the balls stopped appearing and I questioned staff. Besides that, I had a great experience and will be back with the time limit in mind.

Alhambra golf driving range and course are an excellent place to start learning how to golf…read more The range has a shot tracer that you can connect to your phone to track all of your shots. It can get quite busy during peak hours and especially in the summer. There is also an area to practice short pitch shots and a sand trap. A bucket of balls cost a bit more than the average range but the shot tracer is well worth it. The 18 hole course is a bit better than your typical muni course. Greens aren't in the best shape but they are decent for the cost of the round. There is also a proshop with all you need and more to play a round. I highly recommend Alhambra Golf course!

The biggest issue at Alhambra Golf Course is safety, and it honestly feels like management does not…read morecare to properly address it. The driving range net near the first tee is clearly too short, and from what I experienced, this has apparently been an ongoing problem for years without meaningful changes being made. During my round I was almost hit by golf balls three separate times, including being struck by a range ball on the first tee. There were already dozens of balls scattered around the tee box, making it obvious this is not some rare or unexpected occurrence. A warning over the loudspeaker does not fix an unsafe setup when range balls are consistently clearing the netting. Beyond the safety concerns, the course conditions have gone downhill badly compared to when I played about a year ago. The greens were extremely rough and bumpy, putting felt more like putting on cement than on maintained greens. The layout also feels overly cramped and tightly packed, which only adds to the safety concerns throughout the course. To top it off, my golf cart died before I could even finish the round. Overall the experience felt poorly maintained, overcrowded, and unsafe, which is disappointing because the course used to be in much better shape.

Brian knows how to analyze your swing faults and demonstrate the right feels to get your body moving as it should. During our first lesson he was able to break down each of my swings on video and explain what I needed to work on. He's was open-minded and flexible to how I needed to learn. I've worked with other PGA teaching professionals and I haven't experienced immediate results as I've done with Brian. I'm really excited to see how my game will improve.

Brian is a magician - they don't call him the Swing Doctor for nothing…read more After years of being self-taught I found myself stuck in the mid 80s and was referred to Brian as my first golf coach. On the first day we met, I told him my goal was to break 80 and wasn't looking for a complete overhaul of my swing. The one thing I noticed with Brian is that he's looking to work with you rather than having a single way of teaching things. We quickly determined I was more of a 'feel vs real' player rather than a technical player so he stopped showing my videos of down the line with hand positions and worked on what I should be feeling to get the proper ball flight. He's attentive, responsive, friendly and professional and most importantly, is invested in you getting better as a player. Less than a year later, I just shot a PR of 77! If you're looking for lessons, I can't recommend Brian enough.

Every week I now look forward to spending an hour with him dialing in my golf game. I highly recommend Coach Keith to golfers of all skill levels and ages.
