    This store is amazing from the moment you walk in. They greet you with a smile and a warm welcome,…read morebut above all, the team that Aaron and Marcus form is the best of the best. I come to this store many times even though it's located near my house in Chula Vista. Aaron and Marcus simply provide excellent customer service. Even if you just go in with a question, they make you feel like family, and above all, they make you feel like your question or concern is very important so you can fully enjoy playing golf. I highly recommend this store, and above all, ask for them. The entire crew is impressively attentive and helpful, but Aaron and Marcus are always there to help you and give you the very best. I'm about to buy my next set of irons, and I'm definitely going to come back to this store with Aaron and Marcus for their best advice...and at the end and not least the prices are amazing ...!!!!!!

    I stopped by to hit a few putts with my 17-month-old son, who was having the time of his life…read more"practicing" alongside me. Was looking to actually buy a new driver. Apparently Aaron thought my toddler was one swing away from destroying the Crown Jewels of golf because he rushed over to tell me he couldn't use one of the putters since it was a "$300 putter." I told him, "No problem," but also said if my 17-month-old somehow managed to break it, I'd gladly pay for it. And honestly, if a $300 putter can't survive a toddler gently tapping a golf ball, it might not be the premium product it's advertised to be. Instead of leaving it there, Aaron spent the next several minutes pacing back and forth and staring me down like we were about to settle this on the 10th tee. It was one of the most bizarre customer interactions I've had. I asked to speak with the manager, Kevin Collinwood, hoping he'd simply acknowledge the situation. Instead, before even hearing the whole story or witnessing anything that happened, he immediately said he had to defend his employee. His voice was literally shaking through the conversation, and it felt like he had already made up his mind. When I asked for the corporate phone number, suddenly the apologies started. Unfortunately, that should have been the first response, not the last. I wasn't looking for anyone to get fired. A simple, "I'm sorry about your experience, I'll talk to my employee," would have resolved everything in about 30 seconds. Instead, what should have been a fun afternoon of golf with my son turned into the weirdest standoff I've ever had over a putter. Hopefully they treat the next family that walks in with a little more common sense and a little less "Secret Service protecting the $300 putter."

    Four stars for TaylorMade Golf. I'm a fan…read more When I first started playing golf, throughout the 90s and into the mid 2000s, I was a Callaway man. Every club in my bag, from driver to putter, was Callaway. Then, when the USGA limited the size of driver heads to 460cc, I decided to buy a new driver. I went to my local PGA Tour Superstores and demoed a bunch of them. I tried them out on simulators and recorded my stats (e.g. ball spin, club head speed, distance, launch angle, and of course, accuracy). I also checked the clubs out and took them with me to the range. I had multiple demo sessions between two PGA Tour Superstore locations and the range. This was a big investment decision for me, especially since these drivers cost hundreds of dollars each. Brands I tested included Adams, Callaway, Cleveland, Cobra, TaylorMade, and Titleist. After extensive testing, the driver that came out on top for me and my swing was the TaylorMade Burner. I still use the driver to this day with relatively consistent results. I've been very happy with it. It's got a stock regular flex Fujikura graphite shaft and I've had the grip replaced with the tried and true Golf Pride Tour Velvet grip (it's on all my clubs but the putter). Other TaylorMade products I've regularly used include golf balls and golf gloves. I really liked playing the TaylorMade TP Reds before they stopped making them. They felt great. Recently, I've been going through boxes of TaylorMade Dad-isms golf balls. They're more of a gift than a "serious" competition ball. My dad found them on sale/clearance at his local sports store/golf shop. At my skill level, they work just as well as, if not better than, the old TP Reds I used to play. As for gloves, I currently have a small collection of TaylorMade Tour Preferred and Stratus gloves that will last me for years. Again, my dad found many on sale/clearance, this time, at the Golf Galaxy (IIRC) on Hilton Head Island. The gloves feel great. They fit well, are smooth and comfortable, and help give me a good grip on every single one of my clubs. I prefer the Tour Preferred gloves because each one comes with a roughly quarter-size magnetic ball marker on top of the velcro flap; not one of those tiny snap-in button ball markers. Dustin Johnson supposedly wore the same glove (either the Tour Preferred or Stratus, I'm not sure). At the time of writing this review, TaylorMade has a star-studded lineup of PGA Tour players that it sponsors including Tiger Woods, Dustin Johnson, Jason Day, Collin Morikawa, Jon Rahm, Matthew Wolff, Rickie Fowler, and Rory McIlroy. Currently, TaylorMade's most expensive product is the SIM Driver with an MSRP of $549.99. "SIM" stands for Speed in Motion, a "reshaped" driver with a "speed-injected" "Twist Face," among many other features that have been marketed and hyped up. Twist Face has always sounded gimmicky to me, but admittedly, I haven't tried out the relatively new technology yet. Regardless, TaylorMade is one of the pillar golf brands of today and in my experience, they produce solid clubs and accessories. I recommend their products to casual golfers.

    Huge thanks to Dick's Sporting Goods Encinitas and TaylorMade Golf! As a young high school golfer,…read moremy Stealth 2 Driver face cracked just a month after the warranty expired, but Mark at Dick's went above and beyond by working directly with TaylorMade to help me out. Within a week, TaylorMade completely replaced my driver--free of charge--and even upgraded me to their new Qi35 Driver! The entire process was fast, easy, and incredibly professional. I was expecting a long wait, but both Dick's and TaylorMade handled everything with amazing speed and care. I'm beyond impressed with TaylorMade's customer service and loyalty to their players.

The new management team has put much hard work into upgrading the facility. Jenny and John have listened to what customers have suggested and then they delivered! 2. The ball dispensing machines have new card readers that are a big improvement. They are faster and easier to use. 3. New range balls - so nice! 4. Mats - these are the best that I have ever used! Soft but firm, not like the old hard mats that felt like you were hitting off concrete and damaging your clubs. 5. Island Greens - so nice! These targets are priceless and make the range attractive. 6. Two putting greens - 1 is synthetic - take your pick. 7. A sand bunker practice area with real sand, not dirt! 8. Lighted at night to accommodate anyone's schedule. 9. A Golf Mart is on the premises, how convenient. You can demo clubs on a real range and not a simulator. Plus great customer service! 10. Golf Instruction - Awesome! Take your pick, many options to choose from. In closing, the Carlsbad Golf Center is AWESOME! This facility offers soo much to help you improve your golf game or if you just want to have some fun with your family. I strongly recommend the Carlsbad Golf Center to friends and family.
