The Learning Center is also fulfilling on its mission of bringing golf and educational enrichment to the youth of Harlem. Brian Hwang (one of the golf instructors) caused my 4-year-old son to make more progress in 30 minutes than I was able to make with him in 3 years. Brian had my son sitting in rapt attention the entire time, having fun learning golf, and after my son left all he could talk about was going back for another lesson. After the golf lesson, the center provided an hour of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) training in which my son got to design, then 3D print, his own chess piece. The Center has also had a big, positive impact on my own golf game. After practicing in the simulators just once a week for a few weeks, I had one of the best ball striking rounds of my life in the Met Open (playing against top professionals and amateurs in the NYC region), hitting 14 greens on a PGA Tour course and making the cut. The simulators take a lot of the guesswork and uncertainty out of hitting golf shots, thereby dramatically accelerating the learning process. I now get why Tiger Woods identified TrackMan as the biggest change he has seen in golf since he began his professional career. The Bridge Golf Learning Center is the best thing to happen in Harlem for at least 5 years.

I've been to several driving ranges around the city, but Chelsea Piers continues to be my favorite…read moreby far. From the moment you book your bay online to the second you step into your hitting station, everything is smooth and well organized. I really appreciate how easy it is to reserve a spot, especially on weekday mornings when prices are more affordable and the space feels calm and relaxed. The views of the Hudson River make it a unique experience. There's something very satisfying about practicing your swing while watching boats go by in the background. The automated ball system keeps things flowing without interruption, and every detail feels designed to enhance your game without distractions. What really makes the difference, though, is the atmosphere. Whether I go solo to clear my mind or bring friends along for a more social outing, I always end up having a great time. The food and drinks are surprisingly good, and having them delivered right to your bay is such a convenient touch. I also love that the booths have heating, which makes this a great place to visit any time of year. Overall, this is one of those spots I keep coming back to. If you're looking for a place to unwind, improve your swing, or simply enjoy the views, I can't recommend Chelsea Piers Golf Club enough.

Using their…read moreonline system, we were able to compare prices per day and hour (hint more afforable on the weekday and mornings). We took a car share service to avoid the parking costs, and the front staff made it easy to grab our clubs to play. The automatic golf balls keep the rythm of play going. The added views make for an even better experience. My husband and son didn't mind the humidity. They played for 55 mins and are ready for another round!

I was…read morefinishing up an 18-hole round near closing time, and Will went above and beyond to make sure I could finish instead of feeling rushed. He even took the time to get me a drink while I played. That kind of hospitality and customer service really stands out.

I figured this was the perfect time to try it out. What i wasn't expecting was an additional $29 fee for using the bay. Plus tax and then being asked to leave a tip. I definitely wasn't expecting to pay that much on top of a promotion for a complimentary session. On the positive side, the people working there were really nice and welcoming. I really appreciated that club rentals were included. I tried out the different games that they had in their virtual screen. Overall, I enjoyed the experience, but i just wish they told us about the additional fees and had been a little more transparent upfront.

I am a completely new golfer -- started in mid-August 2022 and have played maybe 10 rounds total…read more I've taken a few lessons which have helped but spent way too much time hacking at the range, locking in bad habits and getting really bad elbow pain in the process. Within 5 minutes w/ Gabe, he was able to show me three concrete things that I could work on to improve my technique and reduce the risk of injury. My swing has literally never looked like it has in the picture -- now I know what to strive for each time I practice. After about 10 days of working on those things, I feel like I'm improving and, more importantly, I'm able to work on things without injury. I think the most helpful thing for me were Gabe's explanations about why those things (trail arm hinge, hip rotation, extension) were so important to building a solid foundation and avoiding further damage to my elbows. He also emphasized the importance of feeling uncomfortable when working on new things, which I think we all intuitively understand but don't make a priority in our regular practice. Looking forward to working with Gabe again when I'm back in the city -- in the meantime I plan on hitting him up for virtual lessons. Added bonuses -- the Five Iron location is super nice and the technology and equipment they have there are top notch. I never used an indoor simulator outside of lessons but my friends and I had a great time playing horrible simulated golf :)

Gabe has completely transformed my game in the past six months that I have worked with him. For…read morestarters, I went from scoring in the 100-110 range before working with Gabe to shooting as low as 92 in less than a month. This is possible because Gabe has the teaching and playing experience to coach you in all aspects of your game, whether it's course management or building confidence around your shots. Gabe has elevated my awareness of my own swing and helped me stay committed to making long term swing changes. Like many golfers starting out, I still struggle with the basics like consistent contact, club face control, and release. No instructor can transform your swing overnight, but TRUST he will give you the right things to work on and many ways to work on them. As a result, I am making solid contact with the ball more frequently, have 15+ yards in distance per club, and am hitting straighter shots. Most importantly, Gabe will teach you how to be your own coach. Working with Gabe over time has given me the tools to diagnose and straighten out issues in my own swing even on a day when "I just can't seem to hit the ball." It has also taught me to consume the myriad golf content I encounter online with a critical eye. I know what I need to work on thanks to Gabe, and any of the bad rounds I shoot now and going forward would not be for a lack of excellent instruction. If this is helpful context, I picked up golf in 2020, have mediocre natural hand-eye coordination, and am not a particularly quick learner. All that is to say that if Gabe can help my game this much in six months, he can most certainly help anyone. There is no one I would rather trust with my swing.

I ordered their gochujang boneless wings they came like 5-10 minutes after i sat down. I'm eating 2 boneless wings they tasted fine but when i get to the third wing the texture was just off. I proceeded to tell the guy at the bar my wing is raw and he's like "that's not possible we grill the boneless wings, it's okay if they're a little pink." A little pink? I know i didn't want a rare nugget.I showed it to him and a manager they gave me another order of wings they were a bit more crispy. They sent two orders in by accident so i ended up taking home an order of wings. Overall staff is nice the place looks clean. Just make sure you check your food.

Today was my first golf lesson ever and first at this place. The front desk lady was nice and helpful. My instructor was running a bit late due to traffic and she asked if it was ok to move my lesson to a little later time as he was running late. My instructor Chris was great dealing with a newbie to golf like myself. I gave it four stars and not 5 only due to the fact that the music that was playing in the waiting area as I said above plays in the back area and to me it was a little distracting to hear the music that was sorta on the loud side while trying to listen to the instructor. Other than this I had a great experience.

He is patient, truly detail oriented, and he will not let me budge on setup or grip, which is exactly what I need. He explains mechanics in ways my brain understands, and if the first version does not land, he tries another and another until it clicks. :) We just had a company event at Canoe Brook Country Club in New Jersey and I am proud to say I held my own. The Hack Shack itself is simple, but the TrackMan is excellent, they had all the women's clubs I needed. The large private room made starting a new sport feel much less intimidating. I have hit at Chelsea Piers and it felt like chaos. This was calm, focused, and genuinely confidence building. If you are a beginner, especially a woman who is nervous to start, go see Evan!

This would have injured my hips or knees. Evan was rude and lazy about teaching me proper technique for golf. Evan has no ability to teach a new golfer how to swing a club or how to play golf. He also has no skills in talking to new golfers. Lastly, a week after my lesson, Evan returned a prior call and asked if I was still interested in having a golf lesson with him. Very poor customer service, He didnt even remember that he met me a week earlier. For $190 Evan was a complete scam!

After a few swings Marc was able to diagnose the main issue with the swing and make the proper adjustment. They were able to work through irons, driver and sand wedge within the hour and he is excited to put the revamped swing to use on the course. He also particularly loved the screen that you hit into and the type of data you are able to derive from it (angle of contact, open vs closed club face, etc.). It was easy to see how the adjustment translated into better data and better contact. Now he is excited to put what he learned to use on the course.

I enjoyed the game and am thinking of continuing the indoor game or playing on a golf course sometime. I took indoor golf lessons when I was in college but i didn't learn much about the skills, especially was bad on consistency. I feel the lessons with Marc were so much better. I met with Marc five times, one hour each time. He can always easily pinpoint the problem in my movements, give me instructions to improve and spend a lot of time letting me repeat and build my consistency. We covered a few clubs including iron, sand wedge and putter. I wish I could learn more from him if time permits.

Since the last time I did weight machines was in the Jack LaLanne/ Bally Total Fitness era, I decided to hire a trainer to give me a kind of orientation and help me launch a fitness routine. Liam came highly recommended. He customizes our sessions to reach my goals, and modifies them as my goals change. Liam knows my medical conditions, which he works with, and weak areas, which he helps me to strengthen. He suggests exercises I feel comfortable doing on my own in the gym, or at home. Liam can point out details of how a position or motion should feel, so I know when I'm doing it correctly. I have the attention span of a flea, yet he designs routines that are challenging and entertaining. He checks in often during a session, yet he can somehow inspire one or two more reps out of me than I believe possible. Befitnyc has a variety of classes which I've just begun to check out, from barre-pilates and tai chi to cross- and interval-training to zumba, all included in the very reasonable cost of membership. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the facilities are clean and well designed for a relatively small space. Best of all, the laid-back, diverse clientele makes me feel like I belong.
