Henry P.

So I just realized that I haven't provided a review for our dear Coach and friend Coach Oliver. Our son Henry IV (everyone knows as IV) has been with coach Oliver (IPGA) since beginning of Kindergarten DEC 2018. In the past 3 years, we have seen our son grow and come a long way from where he actively can play in sanctioned leagues and tournaments. (US Kids golf & Jr PGA) Coach Oliver and all of his staff (Coaches / Instructors) are great with kids. They're always trying to motivate them in a positive environment while teaching them learning can be fun. Good Sportsmanship is also highly encouraged at all times. He has given our son the opportunity to even play at many private golf courses that many people in hawaii (like myself) won't ever have the opportunity to play. Thank you Coach Oliver and staff for all you folks have done thus far for our son (IV) and looking forward to seeing all the great things you folks will be teaching / mentoring him in the near and far future.

I recently just started swinging a golf club (just a few weeks) I am 100% happy and thankful that I found Coach O to teach me for my first lesson! Coach O was super knowledgeable, easy to learn and take notes from. I feel like my swing took a complete 360 by the end of the lesson and I feel so much more comfortable. I can't wait to get home to practice and improve more from what he has taught me. This was such a fun and beautiful experience. I walked away with a smile on my face and feeling much more confident. Thank you so much and I appreciate Coach O! I hope to return back to Hawaii and the first thing I will be booking will be another lesson! 10/10 experience for sure!

Andrew is one of the best golf coaches in Hawaii for all skill levels…read more After not having golfed for maybe 10 years, I finally decided to get back into the sport. Prior to my golfing hiatus, I had taken quite a few lessons over the span of a year. My best friend was looking at getting into the sport, so I suggested that she take lessons to build a good foundation for her game. Unfortunately, it was difficult for me to find openings for the golf coach that I previously worked with due to his popularity. I had been using the driving range at Bay View to improve my game. It was there that I casually met Andrew Ka-Ne. I explained that I was looking for a golf coach and talked story with him to get a feel for his overall golf and coaching philosophies. We exchanged contact info and he texted me about his rates and availability. Andrew has the best hourly rates in Hawaii, and provides more instruction and support than other coaches charging double his rates. Simply put, Andrew is an excellent coach and his rates do not accurately reflect the value he provides. Andrew's golf philosophy is a nice blend of old and modern swing theory, supplemented by a strong integration of cutting edge golf technology (i.e. FlightScope Mevo+, swing cameras) and swing aides (i.e. wrist angle straps, alignment tools, ball striking tools, weight transfer board, etc.). Golf as a whole has significantly changed since the time I took lessons and, unlike other coaches, Andrew's view of the game is not stuck in the 1990s, 2000s, or 2010s. After sitting through a few of his lessons with my best friend and seeing her improve significantly, I was convinced that Andrew has a lot to offer. He is knowledgeable and encouraging and he has a very keen eye for spotting problematic swing mechanics. Andrew is very good at designing various drills to accomplish the same thing. He told me that every student learns differently, and it is about teaching in a way that clicks with the student's brain. Many other coaches are rigid in their approach and force their students into swing mechanics that mimic the touring pros (i.e. wrist angle must be exactly X degrees, rotation must be exactly X amount, spine angle must match [insert name] tour pro, etc.). This is not Andrew. He understands that people are built differently and assists his students with creating the most efficient swing within their own physical capabilities and utilizing their personal strengths. One of the things that I admire the most about Andrew is his commitment and dedication to golf. He will be around for decades to come, which is one of the main things I weighed when looking for a coach. Ideally, you want your coach to be available as you continue on your golf journey. This is especially helpful if you hit a plateau or see your scores flattening out. At that point, it is crucial to have a coach that can provide a series of "refresher" lessons to get you back on track. Overall, I think that Andrew has the most comprehensive approach to improving his students' games, and he genuinely cares about the achievement of his students. Without a doubt, Andrew goes above and beyond and exceeds all expectations.

I have taken golf lessons from different golf instructors in the past but Andrew is by far the…read morebest! He is knowledgeable (graduate of the Golf Academy of America ) and individualizes his teaching in a way that I can understand and remember by using analogies and props. Andrew teaches both at the driving range and putting green. His feedback is always helpful and on point. I learn something new with each lesson and have seen improvements with my golf swing. His lessons are enjoyable and he makes golf fun. Other golfers have also approached me after my lesson to request Andrew's contact information. That's how good he is!

He knows how to communicate in such a way that helps my son understand his golf swing and how to make the correct adjustments himself. He's 5 years old and already makes better contact than me Best part of Coach Todd is that his primary focus is to make sure my son has fun and enjoys the game. I can honestly say that my son looks forward to Golf lessons with Coach Todd every week. So it must be fun. Coach Todd even took some time to help me with me golf swing at one of my son's lessons He showed me why my golf balls always tended to hook when I hit the ball. He showed me what I needed to adjust by looking at my swing one time. He then gave me a couple pointers and a new swing thought and shortly after I shot my lowest score ever. Thanks Coach Todd

Let me start by saying my golf game is terrible. I'm always shooting between 110 and 120. I'm…read moreconstantly getting in trouble and losing balls. It's so bad that I was seriously thinking of just quitting golf. I decided to take an hour lesson with Todd and see if he could help me improve my game. He started by having me hit a few ball just to see what going on with my swing. In 5 minutes he identified my problem and corrected my grip, posture and swing path. The next 30 minutes of working on it I had the ball going straight, long and nice trajectory. It was just amazing how he fixed my game in such a short time. I was so excited that I went and played a round of golf the next day. Well I shot a 95 and that was amazing. I know I need to put in some work on the range, but now I know what to work on. I would highly recommend Todd Nagata to anyone looking to improve their game. He explains things so easy to understand and shoots videos so I can see my issues. Thank you Todd for all your help and I will be calling you for more lessons to take me to the next level.

Love going to Coral Creek Golf Course. People are always friendly, and it's easy to spend time…read morethere. The course is clean and well maintained, and I'm able to practice here a lot. Range balls are a mix, including some non-practice balls, and I wish the range stayed open later more often. Really appreciate the twilight golf option.

I recently played at coral creek golf course and had mixed feelings about the experience…read more The course itself is in great shape--no complaints there. It's a beautiful layout and definitely enjoyable to play. Unfortunately, the customer service, especially from the staff handling the golf carts, was a completely different story. When you try to talk to them, they don't even acknowledge you. My friend attempted to make a simple conversation and was flat-out ignored. No response, no eye contact--nothing. It comes off as extremely disrespectful and unprofessional. At one point, I was waiting to board, and instead of giving any kind of direction, the attendant just threw his hands up like I was supposed to know what to do. No communication at all. That's not how you treat paying customers. I understand everyone has bad days, but if you're working in customer service, basic courtesy is part of the job. If that's something you can't handle, this probably isn't the right line of work. It's disappointing because the course itself is solid, but experiences like this make you think twice about coming back. Good thing I'm not the owner or supervisor because I would terminate all of them and make an example of them.

I actually asked for two more bowl and shared it with two other people. It was fresh and really good. Our group also appreciated that they had a TV with hookups we could use for our presentation.

They were running a special for $225/player (normally $275) with a 10-day advanced booking. They need a credit card to hold the reservation and you pay upon arrival. We had a 10:50 tee time and everything ran on time and check-in was smooth. Once checked-in, you'll present your receipt to the staffer who will give you a small bucket of balls. They took our clubs at the parking lot stand and placed the clubs on our cart. We grabbed a few clubs and walked over to the grass range, which was in decent shape. The course is great for all skill levels because it's pretty wide open and very well manicured. The rough is cut down pretty low so even if you miss the fairway, you still gotta shot at it. Playing the blues, the course is pretty long but manageable. The greens were in great shape and bunkers were great looking, although luckily I didn't have to play out of any of them. While it's a well maintained course, I thought the layout was kinda boring and predictable. Lots of good views and photo ops around the course, although the course has minimal ocean views. We had some vouchers from our hotel which we could use at the pro shop but not the snack bar. We ended up with a couple of bag tags, ball markers and a logo ball (gift set) which they engrave your name in the bag tag which is pretty cool for $20 for everything. The rest of the pro shop is pretty pricey though. Overall, glad we got to play it. I think the price point is what would keep me from playing again, but it's hard to beat when it's less than 5 minutes from our hotel. We got paired with a great couple, shout out Chuck and Cindy who were also visiting. It made for a memorable and fun day out on the course.
