When I started with Matt only 7 months ago, I was a brand new beginner. I had had a few lessons…read morefrom another outfit that were not very helpful for me. I called that other company's teaching approach Painting by Numbers because it wasn't cohesive and intuitive for me. Also, Matt gives full hour-long lessons versus the other company that only did half hour lessons which I found to be way too short so I ended up having a fractured and incomplete understanding of the golf swing. I'm over 60 years old and a slender woman. So I don't have bulk muscle for strength. Learning how to strike the ball correctly gives me the distance. Matt teaches with intuitive, cohesive instruction and shows (sometimes with props) as well as explains why certain aspects of the swing are important so that logically it all makes sense. He is such a gifted teacher to help all the details gel without my feeling its overly analytical. Proof of his teaching is I started out hitting my 7 iron 42 yards on the Trackman and am now hitting 122 yards dead straight. Also when I started out I didn't have the ball striking skills to play18 hole courses, only 9 hole courses. I recently scored 110, 112, and 114 on a par 72 course. When people learn I've only golfed for 10 months total, they can't believe it. When they ask who is my coach, I happily share about Matt being the best ever and why. Matt is confident that I will soon be breaking 100. I can't wait!

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!!

He is a patient and excellent golf instructor and I would not hesitate to recommend him for lessons.

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 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.

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.

If you don't clean the balls off yourself it will scuff the clubs more than usual. Super dirty caked on mud will mark up your club face. As for the course it's great. I like it, that's why 3 stars. But the rang balls that you get are just trashed and super warned out. And for the price you pay for range balls, I think at least you get clean range balls. I really hope someone at los Lagos see this post and do something about it. I have to go to San Jose muni just for the range season. I live only two miles away from LL. That's how bad it is.

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 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.
