Nowndale is truly an amazing golf instructor…read more The first lesson alone helped me so much. He explains everything so clearly and is very patient. I love the fact that the lessons are indoor and has cameras so that he can show me and I can see what I need to change and work on. AND there's free parking !! Something I was worried about with getting lessons was not getting my money's worth. Sometimes instructors can be very chatty and I don't feel like I'm getting an actual full hour's worth of a lesson. If that is something you're concerned about, please consider Nowndale! Every time I come in for a lesson, it is jam packed with information and practice time. He really focuses on the lesson and your improvement. I feel very comfortable asking him questions (even if they feel silly) and he'll kindly answer and help me understand. I really have nothing negative to say. I have had 5 lessons and each one has been a very positive experience. I still have a lot to learn, but I can definitely say I have improved a lot since starting lessons.

I came into golf as a complete beginner--I had never even swung a club before my first lesson. From…read morethe start, Nowndale was incredibly patient and supportive. He took the time to walk me through the fundamentals step by step, and what really stood out to me was how he explained not just the how, but the why behind each movement. His ability to break down the physics of the swing in a clear, easy-to-understand way made a huge difference in how quickly I was able to grasp the basics. Beyond that, he's consistently positive and encouraging--especially when I get frustrated. He's quick to remind me to have fun and enjoy the process, which has helped me stay motivated. Every session is well-structured, and he always follows up with drills and a practice plan so I know exactly what to work on between lessons. Even outside of our sessions, he's responsive and generous with his time. I've texted him questions I forgot to ask during our lessons, and he always replies with helpful advice. If you're looking for an instructor who's not only knowledgeable but also genuinely invested in your progress, I can't recommend Nowndale enough.

Golftec answers the phone: "Thank you for calling Golftec where we can take seven strokes off you…read morescore." My experience has been far better than that... more like taking 10-14 strokes off my score, after only 4 lessons. I "played golf" for decades but had never taken a lesson. I am 75-years-old. I was initially worried that the golf coach would want to correct 50+ things all at once. Larry Salmi, my coach, only focused on a couple of things things each lesson. Their technology for me is really fun and instructive. While I am still not a "par" golfer, I am, for the most part, keeping it on my fairway. A relief to others on the course, and far more fun for me. Before Golftec I think I had only had 1 par in my life. Now I am disappointed when I don't get at least one birdie and a few pars in a round!

Don't do what I do (skip out lession in my early learning stage, and therefore have to spend the next 5 years UNlearning my swing which had become a habit). Thank you Aaron for being a great coach!

Each lesson is a ton of fun, as Carlos has you play holes at the golf course and you actually get live instruction while playing, not just notes at the driving range. Nothing beats actually playing the game and seeing your skills change on the course. I don't usually write reviews, but Carlos is totally worth it. He knows what he's talking about and you will too after taking a few lessons.

I'll start off by saying this is a 2 part review. One is for my daughter and one for myself. After…read moretrying out 4 coaches we, we found Keith. I've been and avid recreational golfer on and off since my mid 20's (let's just I'm somewhere in my 40's ). I wanted my 9 year old daughter to take up golf but I didn't think I'd be a good coach so I took up the task of looking for a good coach for kids. We went through 4 different coaches before finding Keith. He's so great with kids! He's patient and l appreciate the way he talks to Ella. He has lots of different drills and ways of being able to explain to her what he wants her to execute. Of course it's taken some time but I'm finally seeing some forward progress. I just want her to love the game just as much as me. I highly recommend Keith, especially if you're looking to get your child started in the wonderful game of golf! This next part is for me. As mentioned above, I've been playing golf since my mid 20's. I'm self taught, learning from watching the golf channel, reading magazines and through youtube. At my best I was shooting 93-97 and was constantly frustrated with my game. My best scores were 83 and 85 when I was hitting the range on a more consistent basis. After I found Keith, he'd take the time to help me with my swing after he was done with my daughter's lesson. After working with Keith and really breaking down my swing, working on my bad habits (of which I have plenty) I started to piece it back together again. I was finally getting to a point where I was building a more fundamental and consistent swing. Thanks to Keith, my work has paid off! I shot my LOWEST ROUND EVER!!! I shot a 78!!! It's been my dream to break 80. I can't say thank you enough for helping me get to where I am and for being so kind and patient with my daughter! YOU ROCK!

You can immediately tell that golf is her true passion, and that energy shines through in every bit of direction and encouragement she gives.

I went from thinking my swing was "fine" while struggling through terrible rounds, to actually feeling confident on the course--and even beating my friends now . Danny took the time to start with the fundamentals and rebuilt my swing the right way. He corrected my grip, stance, and overall swing mechanics, explaining everything in a way that was easy to understand and apply. In only two lessons, I learned the core skills for both my irons and driver, which completely changed my game. I'd say I went from beginner (borderline horrible!) to a solid intermediate in a very short time. I'm incredibly grateful for the instruction. I'll be practicing the drills Danny taught me and will definitely be back when I'm ready to take my game to the next level. If you're on the fence about golf lessons, take this as your sign to invest in them. Just two lessons gave me the fundamentals that will be the foundation of my game moving forward.

It's kept in great condition year round, and it's in one of the most picturesque settings you could imagine. High in the hills with plenty of great LA skyline views (on a clear day). Their staff is friendly and helpful, their prices are reasonable. And do check out their membership if you're local; for $50/month you get half price on tee times, a free drink every time you come, and a key fob for a free bucket of range balls every day! And while I'm on the topic of the range, they have TrakMans on every lane of the driving range. So you can evaluate your swing, range your clubs, even play a virtual game against yourself! Why only 4 stars. Well, disappointingly, Scholl Canyon jumped on the woke bandwagon recently with a day of golf celebrating "fathers of color." Come on. If you're a dad, you deserve to be celebrated, regardless of anything else. Dads are dads, and golf is for everyone. Let's celebrate that. UPDATE: Although I love and still advocate for the membership here, two things recently soured the pot for me. First, although they advertise $8 tee times for members on weekdays after 1200, I've had to fight for this on more than one occasion and remind them of their policy. In response, they've changed it to after 1:00. Also, despite their ads offering 10% off all merchandise in the pro shop, they only apply the discount to Scholl Canyon branded items. You pay full price on everything else. Sneaky. Sorry but you lose a star Scholl Canyon.
