I started lessons with Ian less than a year ago and he has completely transformed my game. I could…read morebarely swing a driver and had no real foundation -- in under 9 months, I broke 100 for the first time. The progress has been real. Ian has a sharp eye for mechanics and breaks everything down in a way that actually sticks -- starting from the ground up with grip, then building into swing path, ball position, and tempo. He gives you a clear roadmap and builds on it lesson by lesson. I practice a few times a week and take monthly lessons with him, and every session I walk away with something concrete to work on. What sets Ian apart is that he's not just technically excellent -- he's also a great communicator who's genuinely invested in his students' progress. You can tell he loves what he does. Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced golfer looking to sharpen your game, I can't recommend Ian enough. He's the real deal.

I tried a couple of places for lessons. Then, I tried NorCal. In a short 3 months, my game is improving!! Lulu Huang is my instructor and she's top-notch!

I have been playing golf 1.5 years before I maxed out at a 24hcp. That is when I went seeking out…read morethe best golf coach the bay area has to offer and decided to commit to Tom for 12 months (24 lessons). I am almost 4 months in (7 lessons total) and am currently sitting at a 18hcp. We joked that's about 1 stroke per lesson! Hopefully I can update down the line with my final numbers. I chose NCGA because of the tech. It's so much easier when you can work on something technical and see the improvements in the data. I am driving from San Francisco so you know it has to be worth it for the commute. So far so good!

He was awesome. Kind, patient, encouraging, and explaining how we as parents can continue to support our kids. The facility itself is nice-it has the latest tech for golf which I think can be really helpful for those working hard at the sport and wanting to get better. The facility is super clean and they were really nice about our kids eating a snack towards the end. We only did 30 min bc our kids are young. Overall, great facility, super clean, quiet on a Monday evening, and they were really accommodating. I will definitely be back. The monthly membership is so tempting but sooo pricey . I do like how clean and quiet it is. Hojin was also helpful for sure. And I appreciate them being so open and willing to give our 2 and 4 year old a lesson, and also warning us ahead of time in case they didn't cooperate what they would do. The kids had fun and ultimately, gained some more confidence which is what we care about! Thank you for a great evening! We will be back-maybe for myself to improve my swing

It would be great to see some newer equipment and additions like a Smith machine or hip thrust machine. My sister and I had an uncomfortable experience when we visited together. A trainer asked us to swipe in separately, assuming we were trying to share a membership. The way we were approached didn't feel very welcoming or respectful. It's also frustrating to see the owners opening a new Pilates studio while this location still needs updates. And honestly, for a women's-only gym, it's surprising there's no childcare option. I think that would make a big difference for many members. I prepaid for an annual membership and honestly unsure if I will renew when the time comes.
