If your child is playing competitive junior golf, you know how hard it is to get them to practice…read moreintentionally. We discovered The Golf Garage after noticing that some of the top players in our 9-year-old son's tournaments were training here. Booking a lesson with Mike was the best decision we've made for his game. This is not just hitting balls into a screen. Mike combines video analysis, TrackMan data, and advanced AI to compare your child's swing mechanics directly against the ideal blueprint. The impact was instant. Instead of mindlessly pounding balls at a traditional driving range, our son completely changed his approach. He slows down, uses the video feedback to check his setup, hits the ball, and then walks over to the computer to analyze his data. He craves that instant feedback, and it has taught him incredible discipline. The results speak for themselves. After working with Mike for just a short time, our son has gained at least one club length on his irons and a massive 30+ yards on his driver. While you can never completely replace playing on real grass, The Golf Garage is absolutely the missing piece for elite, data-driven training. If you want your kid to truly compete and win, go see Mike.

The lesson is located at Boulder Creek which i found was a private gold course right hidden in back next past Almaden Lake. I saw turkeys coming in and a coyote and deer on the way out. So awesome!! It was kind of a cold day, foggy, but was beautiful on the course and luckily warmed up throughout the lesson. U can park then make ur way to the range which is the walk way in front of parking lots. Sean is so nice and friendly and makes u feel great even when the ball goes awry. He helped me correct my swing so I'm rotating and using my whole torso/body instead of just my arms. Also my stance and grip. This was my first lesson and we already saw improvement in how far the ball was hit! I would def recommend Sean and will be back for more lessons!!

Making a solemn vow to never, ever, under any circumstances, play here again on a weekend…read more I learned how to play on this course. Been coming here for years. You've now lost my business permanently. The last two weekends I made the mistake of booking tee times at 8:30am and 7:30am on a Saturday. I tried booking an hour earlier the second time to see if it would help, it didn't. My time is too precious after working hard all week and taking care of my family to come and play 5.5 hour rounds, sitting at the tee box for 20-25 min between shots waiting for two groups to clear in front of me. I'd rather driver further and pay more to save an hour of my life and this frustration each weekend. See you again never.

It was another very warm/hot sunny and beautiful day outside at the Santa Teresa Golf Club today…read more This place gives off good vibes and respectful customer service as needed. You can feel it when rolling in for parking and the parking lots is usually nearly full on weekday mornings before 10am. Very motivating to see small and large groups of folks enjoying their games and Vitamin D sunlight out here. Driving range is always busy and club house area is nice and shady to relax or chill out. Yes, 9-hole games are usually a breeze and easy to walk around, but reaching the 10th hole and afterwards can become much more challenging, especially with long walks. The banquet area has good spaces for events. Gorgeous up there. People tend to speed when driving into the parking lot, so just be cautious. Not far from retailers/restaurants/etc. Very decent. It's the good vibes that keeps me coming back to play with the groups. Nice.

I was lucky enough to get a chance to play Boulder Ridge with a friend and my dad, and I was blown…read moreaway about how beautiful and fun this course was. We started off at the range, where they gave a trackman style system where you can see how far you hit your shots, which is great if you are trying to dial in your yardage for each of your clubs. The range itself isn't super long, and when I hit my first driver shot, I got a message saying out of bounds, staff notified. Safe to say, I put the driver away for the rest of the practice session lol Now onto the course.... This has to be one of the prettiest courses in the Bay that I've played. I mean the views from virtually every hole provide a look at the unique landscape of its surroundings. It definitely lives up to that boulder in its name because they have beautiful rock formations all over the course that adds to its beauty. As for playing the course, this course is pretty tough! Lots of blind tee shots, narrow fairways, tight greens, it definitely challenges you physically and mentally throughout all 18 holes. The greens were super quick, and rolled true, which honestly for me, are the best type of greens to putt on. If you can score well on this course, you are probably a good golfer. If you aren't a great golfer, bring lots of golf balls lol Also, get a golf cart here because walking up and down these hills would be draining, especially on a hot day. Overall, I loved this course. From the manicured greens and fairways, to its challenging nature, it's definitely a course I can't wait to get to play again.

What a great golf course!…read more As a Bay Area native, I've always passed this golf course driving in the Almaden area and said, man I want to play there. That day finally happened! I was invited to play for a tournament for a friends company event. I think that this golf course from hole 1-18 is one of the most unique in the Bay Area. I'll highlight 1 section in particular.... The boulder section. You drive through a section of holes where you are taken through a different world. Almost feels like you are on a beautiful excursion in a different country going through these amazingly huge and beautiful boulders. It's almost as if you walked into Star Wars lad at Disney for the first time... except, your on a golf course. I hope that makes sense haha! Super super cool and well designed course with a good amount of challenging holes even for an average golfer! Id recommend this to the public, but it is a private course so you'll have to know someone to get out there. If you do know someone, bring them a gift if they take you out here. It's so worth it! Giving 4 stars because I've played some really really nice golf courses. This place is 4.2-.4.4 in my overall rating. Great job!

I had a fantastic experience working with Don Allio, who significantly impacted my golf swing…read more After a long hiatus, I developed several bad swing habits, particularly early extension on the downswing. Don skillfully helped me pinpoint and address this issue, resulting in increased accuracy without sacrificing swing speed. Don's ability to quickly assess my swing and tailor his messages to my style of understanding, whether technical or feel, sets him apart. His wealth of knowledge is evident, yet he knows when to deploy it, ensuring I wasn't overwhelmed with too much information. We worked on several drills (including the glove under the arm shown here) that were easy to take to my own practice outside of our sessions. I highly recommend Don for golfers of any age and skill level; he truly understands how to work with each player's unique characteristics.

Although, still have more to improve on. Don initially recorded my swing to see where it was at and for most of the lesson is what you will be working on. He also sends you the video with a voiceover so you can remember what was taught when you go to the range. The price may seem steep but for me, I felt it was worth it. Even went ahead and bought a 4 lesson package since I knew i did not want to use another instructor. Will definitely have Don as my golf instructor for as long as I can!

Three main things when I think of Los Lagos: 1. A local fox…read morepopulation. You may see them running around and hanging out on the greens, especially during the early morning. 2. Odd layout with a lot of back and forth between holes. Total yardage is only around 5000-5400 due to 9 par 3s (par 68 course), but long par 5s and distances between a couple of holes make the course deceptively long especially if walking. 3. The local homeless population. Coyote Creek Trail runs through the course and you may see some homeless + their dogs walking along the cart paths adjacent to the creek. I've never had a problem, but one may want to be aware if leaving golf carts unattended. Has a two-tier driving range with range buckets priced similarly to other driving ranges around San Jose, with TopTracer being installed within the past couple of years. Conditions are fair for a muni course. Water features make things interesting. Holes 4, 6, 9, and 18 offer challenges and are my favorites. Pace of play is usually good on the weekdays (3-3.5 hr). Definitely worth playing if you can find a GolfNow deal or twilight. Staff has always been friendly.

Mark Dorcak has been an incredible golf coach for my kids, especially for competitive junior golf…read more He introduced them to AimPoint, and we saw immediate results--fewer strokes, smarter decision-making on the greens, and a big boost in confidence, to the point where my daughter started winning tournaments. Mark is very practical and has an excellent eye for quickly identifying what actually needs fixing versus what can wait. He tailors instruction based on where the student is mentally and technically, which is huge for tournament players. I highly recommend him for competitive juniors, as well as adults and golfers of any level looking for clear, effective instruction.

It is not quite…read morelike 24 Hour Fitness, but if you don't get there during opening, you will need to wait for equipment and machines. I wish this place is 24/7 but they open at 6AM on the weekend and it's never packed to the point where you have to wait, so it's a win-win. Service is impeccable. I love their protein smoothie bar. I have tried their recovery zone and can say I had a relaxing time getting my back and legs massaged while I read my book. It was dim and quiet, but I was by myself. Someone did go into the room to use the massage gun for a few then left. As part of my 2026 goal, I am trying to claw my way back to my old self. I will prioritize my health this year, so I will stop by the recovery room often to unwind in the quiet. One thing I noticed is that you are not supposed to film here but I still see people setting up their tripod and/or flat out filming themselves and their clients which is somewhat annoying, but other than that I have had no complaints here.

The actual facility here is great and the staff is fair- it does seem that a lot of them spend…read moretheir time on their phones and are not super attentive. My main issue with this facility is a specific group of members that have started to come in. There is a large group of people who come in to work with a husband/wife team of independent trainers. The trainers are rude and take up tons of equipment that they do not actively use- like they are trying to reserve it for their future use. When you ask them if you can work in or if they are using something they are rude and look at you like you are insane for even talking to them. This group of people act like they are the only people in the gym and completely lack awareness and any etiquette. They leave weights on machines, don't wipe anything down, and leave huge messes in the restrooms. My other issue is the amount of recording that they do- the gym has now banned the use of free standing tripods (great) but now they are using other pieces of equipment to prop their phones up on and record their workouts. On top of that- there is no regard or awareness for someone in the back of their video. I know that I have been in the back of their recordings, which I do not want to be, and have asked them multiple times to move their phones or not record and they are just rude about it and start talking crap. I have taken these issues to the front desk staff and management. No one does anything about it. I brought it up to the girl at the front desk this past weekend and she basically told me that because they are bringing in so much business they can do what they want. If that is the case then this business clearly does not value all of its members equally.
