I've read some of the negative reviews, and they don't match what I've seen-but also, GolfTec has a particular model that you have to embrace if you want to make the best use of their services. I've worked with Ryan Skoglund at the Burlington site for a few years. I'm a 63 year old weekend hacker and was very frustrated with my game--and with a number of other instructors I tried. Ryan has given me a swing that I can understand and most of the time, when things go bad, I've learned enough to be able to do some repairs. The combination of teaching, plus video of my swing, plus the simulators and the on-line reminders of what we've gone over is very powerful. My handicap has dropped four or five points since I started with Ryan, and in the last couple of years, for the first time I was able to break 80 on a few occasions. Modern equipment helps, but so does good, clear, consistent instruction, which is what Ryan provides. The GolfTec model is not cheap. They're not set up to have someone drop in to test drivers, as one reviewer wanted to do. They're not there for occasional, drop-in lessons. They want you to come for a series of lessons and practice sessions. If you belong to a private club, you have access to a pro who will give lessons, and to some kind of practice facility. That's what GolfTec gives you--lower cost than a private club, more expensive than trying to learn golf from Golf Magazine articles (many of which will tell you to do contractor things). In my case, I take most of my lessons over the winter and early spring, then I go back for tweaks, or when my swing goes haywire. But with the winter work, I can start the season in reasonably good form. If you're not serious about trying to improve, don't bother with GolfTec. But if you really want to get better at golf, these guys will help you do it. read more

For years I had tried to take my golf game to the next level. I watched and read many instructional aides and occasionally took a lesson or two. Despite these efforts I was never able to make real progress or score consistently. Late last year when experiencing another all too frequent down turn in my game, a friend recommended getting a swing evaluation at Golftec. I went into the Burlington, MA location and had an evaluation with Ryan. About half way through, I felt this was the path for me to finally make the progress I had been seeking. From the start, Ryan broke down my swing into understandable components and was able to show me through video analysis of my swing and that of accomplished golfers where my swing needed adjustment. After a few lessons I was able to make the necessary adjustments to improve my swing and to be able to repeat it and self correct during a round. We next focused on my driver which I've never been able to hit well. Ryan performed an analysis of my swing and my driver and showed me how my driver was contributing to my poor results. After a few more lessons focused on my driver and purchasing the driver the analysis suggested was optimum for me, I began hitting my driver like a real golfer. I can't say enough about how much Golftec's approach and Ryan's coaching ability have helped me. I highly recommend both! read more

I love this place! My coach is Alex, who is awesome! I started with a swing evaluation that I had a coupon for... I HAD a really bad slice with my driver. Alex had that fixed within 5 minutes of me being there. We continued with the lesson and he found a bunch of problems in my swing and set up. I bought the package and he has made my game so much better!!! I don't think Golftec is for the weekend golfer though. The packages are pricey and you do need to put in a lot of practice in order to make what they teach you work, so you need to be dedicated. If you're looking to improve your game and have the extra money and time to spend with these guys then I can guarantee they will make your game better. I've seen some bad reviews about the pricing and coaches and can honestly say I've never seen anyone rush or pressure any customers there... and the bad reviews about the pricing, you get what you pay for. If you can't afford the packages or aren't dedicated enough to pay and go through the lessons then don't leave bad reviews about the pricing. IT WORKS!!! read more

I have been working with Todd from Burlington Golftec for the past three years. He is a very knowledgeable and effective coach. He has significantly improved my swing and taught me the finer points of the game. He has an amazing ability to watch your swing and pinpoint the adjustments that are needed to improve your results. I also did a club fitting with Todd and really love my Taylormade clubs. I started at Golftec as a relative beginner and now have the confidence and skills to play almost any course. I have been able to quickly shave several points off my handicap working with Todd. The practice facility is also a great bonus allowing me the space to work on the new skills that I learn at each lesson. The lesson plan also allows for outdoor lessons during golf season and playing lessons on a local course. Both highly effective additions to the indoor lessons. Although the lesson packages are expensive, you get what you pay for with quality coaching, access to year round practice facilities, and real results in game improvements. read more

I have taken 6 lessons so far at golftec and have improved dramatically. Last year I took 3 lessons with a course pro and I walked away confused and uncertain as to how to best improve my game. This year I decided to try something different and stumbled on goltec (with Alex R as my kick-a** coach) I have taken 15 to 20 strokes off my scores over the past 3 months and am playing so well that 3 of my co-workers now take lessons there as well. (I've only been playing for about 11 months, and usually play 9 holes, but I went from shooting in the mid to high 50s to the low 40s (avg 41-42) with every few rounds in the mid-high 30s) The biggest factor is being able to see your swing on camera and get realtime feedback with tips and reminders. All of my lessons are available online with audio and written notes, so if I fall back into a bad habit, I can pull up my account and review my past lessons. It is expensive, but no more expensive than taking lessons from a course pro. Either solution could work, but for me, goltec is a no-brainer. read more

Golftec has proven to be the perfect mixture of personal instruction at their inside practice facilities with video review coupled with on the golf course sessions that in unison have helped me establish the basic fundamentals of a solid golf game. A structured approach for lessons that built up my core capabilities coupled with personalized instruction that made adjustments for my skill set have allowed me to build confidence with my approach and produced great overall progress with my game. I no longer hit a shot and wonder why it did not turn out as I had planned. I am able to understand what I am doing wrong and make corrections immediately. I can see ongoing improvement in my game and can focus on weak spots in my lesson plan. I only wish that I had started sooner. read more

I took up golf late in life, and I was so fortunate to find Golftec Burlington. The coaches are skilled golfers as well as skilled teachers, and they have brought all aspects of my game along from where I can now honestly say I "play golf" instead of "play at golf." I love the instant feedback from the video machines. I love being able to practice during the cold months so that I don't lose my momentum. But most of all I love how my coach, Todd, has made me believe that I can really become a golfer, and then given me the skills. I have worked with other coaches in the past, and the ones at Golftec are head and shoulders above them. read more

I've been playing golf for many years and have never been able to improve despite taking many lessons. This past spring I started taking lessons at Golftec with Todd Smith and that all changed. I had a break through this year and finally broke 100. I highly recommend Golftec and especially Todd Smith. He's a terrific instructor. read more
