After about a 5 minute warm up period hitting some balls, Jeff made some adjustments to my backswing and grip that has worked wonders. Jeff has a great style about him and he immediately put me at ease. Even after the lesson was over, Jeff sent me some videos to reinforce what he taught me. I highly recommend Jeff!

Just returned to see him after a hiatus since 2019 because I've been struggling with some inconsistencies with my swing which was causing me to be pretty frustrated on the course. After having not such great luck with the instructors at my club I turned back to Jeff. His lessons are so easy to follow, not changing anything too drastically and working with "my swing." Not sure why I didn't go back to see him sooner as I just had the best 2 lessons since as long as I can remember. A true golf professional, Jeff is patient and really pays 100% attention to you and your swing while you are there. There is no better instructor that I've ever been to. Thanks for the help!

I learned about golf, the swing, having manners/being polite to fellow golfers (i.e. be quiet when someone is hitting, allow people to play through if you're playing slow, making friendships, etc....) and sportsmanship.

At the last day (Sunday) of the Barclays PGA event here, and they spared no expense on the staffing…read morehere (I was a guest of Barclays, fyi). Parking in multiple lots (though the signs sometimes led people astray, too many choices in the jughandles of NJ, I guess). Lots of vendors and sponsors coming in; one down side was a lack of clear bags from the vendors (too much to carry), I wish they'd had a locker system to take advantage of placing things within to safekeep as you walked around the course. The course was beautiful, green, and cool (the weather was perfect), and the grounds crews were bustling (the cart drivers moved too fast - almost did almost run me over twice). The PGA volunteers however were nice and pleasant, including Bill celebrating his 95th birthday! I like the location last year better (hard to beat the views at The Liberty National Course), but the setup was very familiar and perfectly interesting for most of the fans. The driving range was just at the entryway, which was nice, you had to walk past in order to get into the live greens, so good placement there. Had golf lessons all over (Mastercard, Barclays, NJ Golf Association, etc.), and a food truck section that looked mighty delicious with lobster rolls, French Cajun, fried cheese curds and other options not normally found on a golf course. That was a nice touch, in my opinion. The facilities were top-notch if you were near the 18th green. Once you ventured further out, though, the lack of bathrooms was more evident, although plenty of vendors all over. And odd sign flickering issues as they switched from stat to stat at several locations (I blame the electronic sign vendor on that one).

I've been a weekend hacker for approximately 15 years of playing golf. My decision to start taking…read morelessons is largely due to COVID and not being able to snowboard (my main sport) for the year. I purchased a full package of lessons/fitting for a full year (25 lessons) My coach is Chris Sweet and he is an excellent coach. For the first two months, my swing was deconstructed into different parts and he does a great job of not overloading you with adjustments to make. During this time, my swing fell apart but it makes sense - especially if you understand the plateau of latent potential. From my initial swing evaluation to only 8 lessons and 10 weeks later, I've gained about 35 yards of carry distance on my 7 iron (130 yards to 165 yards) adding a nice draw into my shot shape and I haven't even gotten a club fitting yet. I think this speaks volumes about the quality of instruction I received with Chris. If you're familiar with learning something new and improving at it as quickly as possible, you'll know it takes commitment/practice on your part. They have a plethora of resources available to become a student of the game and continue learning even while you're not striking balls. Additionally, you can review past lessons and refer to them if something stops working with your swing which was critically important for me.

I paid for my classes which included being fitted for clubs yet I was never afforded the latter. I…read moresent multiple emails to arrange for the fitting and never received a response. Also the instruction I received seemed to be more confusing than helpful. Since I've completed classes there I've spent a lot of time reviewing YouTube videos and reading books and I realized my issue was my hands. If you're not holding the club correctly you will never get your form correct especially on the back swing. Once I figured this out, my swing improved dramatically. But this is something they should have been stressed at GolfTEC. I felt as though the instructor was disconnected insofar as training and was just "mailing it in." I'm not saying it was worthless because that would not be fair - there were some good pointers that I picked up there but I felt there should have been more emphasis on basic concepts that may have made a huge difference for me. Are they friendly? Absolutely. They were never rude. They were always genuinely friendly. My recommendation is read as much as you can in advance and watch as many videos as you can before you go there because I doubt if you will receive any strong technical explanation (no handouts were given at all just some scribble on a board in the room). It isn't worth it in my opinion. I honestly believe that , with a little training, I could explain more than I received: when you are not good at something and then figure things out you can readily share those pitfalls with others.

An instructor teaching a child lesson in the bay next to mine assumed I didnt know how to play golf and kept coming over to watch my swing. I interacted with a few different employees because they kept briefly helping me and running off. Maybe it would be better on a different day but Im not sure if I'll be it back. Certainly not for clubs. Apparel section was good.

They have individual lanes which are sufficient for 1-2 people at most. It seemed like most people there were actually practicing. They have membership options and I found it to be reasonably priced overall. The golf clubs you can rent are pretty cheap and not great quality-wise. Majority of people brought their own. Definitely recommend if you're in the area looking for a cheaper, less social version of Topgolf.
