Sean is an All American guy who is talented and good natured. We first met Sean at Black Gold this…read morepast summer as we were looking for a local golf pro to help our son with his game. He is a man with golf knowledge and a lot of integrity. Lessons with Sean have been a very positive experience. He is prompt and very patient in his teaching. Our teenage son decided he would like to try out for the HS golf team at orientation. With no golf experience, Sean took a 14 year old teen and helped him achieve his goal of making the team. I know his success is a direct reflection of the time spent with Sean. His attention to detail and communication are wonderful. He is pretty techy too and sends us video swings of our son so we can see the progress. Overall, a great golf coach and man! We still see Sean as much as possible for lessons to keep our sons form in line.

So, I came up from San Diego to the Portland area and realized that I was spoiled in SD. With rainy…read moreand cold days, I felt like I needed to find an indoor golf simulator to not lose my gains over the next 3 months. So, golftec was the first place I decided to give a try. Ironically none of their prices are posted on their website and its not posted for a reason. I showed up for a "evaluation" with the "best" instructor at golftec, Chris. Chris is more expensive and it baffled me why the evaluation cost more with Chris? Does the other instructors provide a lesser evaluation? Anywho he is $25 more just to come up with a plan. Roughly 30 mins of video recording and going over your swing. NOW here is the catch. Their goal is to make you invest in one of their packages. Two types, one with practice and one with just lessons. 15 session (30 mins lesson) packages for $1200 or 10 classes/3 months of video practice (90 mins a week) and 1 fitting session for $1200. Seems a bit much. My instructor back in SD who is a golf range top 50 elite master, SoCal PGA player development award, etc. Isn't nearly as expensive as golftec. Also you are swinging on a simulator. The package approach is to get you to sign up a chunk of your money without really having a feel for your instructor or learning on a simulator. Once you sign up, you are stuck. Also the $125 evaluation fee (in my case $150) is a way for you to commit to signing up with a plan. They try and nicely convince you to sign up for a plan while you are there. I took the time to do some more research and talk to my coach back home and was told golftec is too commercial and not worth the money (my coach says it's the worst). So, I decided to consider the evaluation fee a learning experience and not sign up and find another coach for lessons.

Started Golftec in Aug 2021 with Michael Blinco and have no plans of going anywhere else for my…read moregolf instruction. After trying out multiple instructors in the Portland area (Redtail, Pumpkin Ridge, Rock Creek) and several others in the US (at least 50 hours of total instruction), Golftec stands out to me as one of the best setups for a golfer looking to improve. Michael's approach on the game is multifaceted, not just how best to swing a club. We go through swing mechanics on an indoor simulator and apply them during playing lessons on-course. Short-game and putting lessons have been the weakest part of my game, but now are a more confident part of my game. Instruction on strategy and course management has dramatically increased my percentage of hitting greens on approach shots. Michael's engineering background, his deep knowledge of the game, and his passion for instruction helped me better understand my golf game. I now am better equipped to self diagnose and fix day-to-day adjustments in my swing. The facility also allows for indoor practice on a simulator which is key for off-season improvement to ready for the new season. The video recording/playback in the practice sessions allows you to see whether or not the swing mechanics taught during lessons are being implemented during practice. This feature has increased the efficacy of my practice sessions in a way I couldn't have imagined previously. I can write another page worth of praise for Michael and Golftec, but it's just easier for you to try it yourself. Go in for a swing evaluation; it's $95 and it's likely you'll walk away from that session with actual solutions that work rather than YouTubing/Instagraming a fix that will cause more problems than it fixes.

I've seen people be here very early in the am- open sunrise to sunset. There is also the restaurant Von Ebert on site- We haven't been in a few years but they have happy hour and daily specials. Pretty large parking lot and street parking too.
