It's been three months and I'm still taking lessons! I've really improved and enjoy golfing very much.

Your pro shop guy needs to improve his attitude or he needs to go. I came in on Monday September…read more7th at 12:50 with my buddy for a normal bucket and round, we hit our bucket pleasantly then proceeded to tee off. We teed off behind a dad and a a daughter, played 1 hole behind them then they let us play through because the dad lost a club. At this time I noticed a two-some playing hole #9 walk to hole #4 cutting in front of us. Me and my buddy had to wait five minutes plus on hole #4 tee box before we could tee off because the two-some was actively hitting their approach shot and putting out. I called in to the pro-shop 4 separate times to get assistance with this issue and NOBODY answered the phone except one time where it was answered for a brief second and then abruptly hung up. After the round I went in to ask what happened and the guy behind the desk said and I quote "I was busy". You would think that if there was 4 back to back phone calls there might be an issue. If this is what Twin Lakes Golf Course has accepted as their normal I will no longer be recommending and or using their facilities any longer. 7 years ive gone here, NEVER ONCE have I been so blatantly disrespected by the staff.

What an amazing experience and top-notch organization in our own backyard!!…read more The First Tee is an international youth development organization introducing the game of golf and its inherent values to young people. What are the values? Honesty, Integrity, Sportsmanship, Respect, Confidence, Responsibility, Perseverance, Courtesy, and Judgment. Kids not only learn to respect golf; they learn to respect others, themselves, and authority. My boys take lessons at their program at Monarch Dunes in Nipomo and THEY LOVE IT!!! It is fun, positive, and encouraging. The coaches are fabulous because they are not simply there to teach golf; they are there for the kids to enjoy golf. The First Tee has lots of programs so check their website out for the most convenient program for your child/youth. You can call them up and/or register online. Scholarships are available. TFTCC is one of many chapters of the First Tee non-profit organization in all 50 states and select places around the globe. They have after-school and in-school programs, we help shape the lives of young people from all walks of life and levels of sportsmanship. In my opinion, they set the gold standard in youth education because they know how to develop youth of all ages and levels. Plus, they are kind and patient with kids with special needs! Stellar.

I made an appointment for 10:30AM with Steve and drove the 1hr to get this fitting started. Fitting-I think we started 10 mins late as he was finishing up with another client. He did check up on me when i arrived and let me know we would be getting started soon. Friendly guy, asked what i was trying to accomplish and we started trying some things. I made the mistake of saying i wanted to try more players irons which ended up scratching all the game improvement irons. We tested a few combos and decided that my current set was best. Next we moved on to the Driver. We tried 3 different manufacturers and ended up with a Ping G430. We then checked out my 5w and also a 4H since I struggle to hit my long irons. We didn't mess with my 5w and ended up on a paradym 4H. The fitting itself was fine but i was disappointed because the site makes it seem like they'll show you video and tell you all these details which will help you make the best decision but instead it felt like a really dialed down experience. Hit stuff, check some number, move on. I never really got any big feedback, "spin is here with this club, we really want to bring this down" or just different shaft combinations, all the new heads etc. One of the main reasons I came here was because they advertise how they have all the latest from the biggest manufacturers but we only tried a couple. Maybe my swing is just not great or Maybe steve is just dialed in that trying other things just wasn't going to do much. Maybe it's up to me to ask that we try everything they have to offer? either way I wasn't mad about the fittings. Steve only charged me as if fitting driver, which I assume is because that's what we spent the most time on. Overall I'd say we spent 1 hour on the fitting and , while not fully satisfied, i was fine with it. Where my rating comes from is they buying of clubs and after. I ended up purchasing a callaway 4H and a Ping driver on 5/27. I understood that Monday was a holiday and Steve said it usually takes 2 weeks to get the clubs. I was hoping to get tracking since my clubs were going to ship to work. I emailed Steve a week after and no response. A few days later I called and he said that they normally don't do tracking but since i was in santa maria, he'd follow up and send it once he received it. 2 weeks rolled by and nothing, I e-mailed again and no response. Finally I emailed one more time asking if there had been a delay or if something was on backorder, and if it was to cancel the order because i could get the clubs locally. There was nothing custom except the grips. I understand the supply chain can be crazy right now but the lack of communication was unacceptable, in my opinion. It takes 2 mins to say "working on it no shipping yet" or something. Maybe my 2 clubs wasn't that important to care about? I finally got my driver on the same day, I had sent this last email, and packing slip said the club was ordered on 6/10. A few days later i received my hybrid and said 6/8 order date. Not sure what happened, if they were too busy and took a week to place the order or if the packing slips were wrong but the lack of communication was a deal breaker for me. I'm in sales myself and understand that work can get crazy but to be unresponsive for 2 weeks and just ignore e-mails is unacceptable. I'll be staying local with all my golf needs.

GolfTEC is incredible at what they do which is providing you with excellent instructors and…read moreimmediate feedback to improve your swing as quickly as possible. I worked with Steve for the past four months to improve my distance to compete in long drive competitions. Steve listened to my goals and we started attacking it to get longer and longer drives. We have gotten my longest drive up to 389 yards on the Foresight. Steve has been an exceptional instructor and I highly recommend him. I have not worked with Trevor, but I have heard great things. Definitely try the swing eval if you are on the fence and then you can decide to get clubs fit or to buy a lesson package.

This course is BY FAR the most challenging and difficult golf course I have ever played…read more Beautiful setting, very nicely kept (except the buildings which are run down and need remodeling), great greens which not a one is level!

Tee boxes were groomed and in good shape but no defined gold tees, we played from the whites. Fairways accepted your good drives, second shots were usually challenging and guarded by menacing eucalyptus and oak trees. Large deep bunker's protected the treacherous greens If your ball was above the pin, it most likely was going to roll off unless it found the bottom of the cup. They're were a few holes that were unplayable today because of the greens. Would like to see gold tees added to all the tee boxes, there's room.
