My experience with Coach Ron has been amazing! I was struggling with a few long term issues before…read moreI went to see him, mostly an out to in path (even though I have tried so many things to fix this), overtaking my swing with my upper body, as well as an inconsistent low point. After a few lessons with Ron in which we dissected and broke down my swing and built it back up, we hit a breakthrough session. Not only was I able to consistently hit with an in to out path and a consistent low point, I added a fair amount of distance to my clubs (which wasn't my intent, but came in a natural way). Ron's teaches with enthusiasm, positivity, and patience. He individualizes different feels for me, so what may work with someone else may not work for me, and vice versa. Even though I've been pretty consistent with my swing, I plan on continuing with Ron to refine my swing and work on different aspects of golf.

Arrived on a late Tuesday afternoon and the place was pretty packed with the after work crowd and high school golfers. Luckily I was able to get a stall on the covered lower level. I got a medium bucket for $17. The range card is the move here, but since I don't practice often, I don't feel like it's worth it but if you plan to hit the range a ton, it's a good way to save some money. This year I built a new bag, so stock yardages was the goal. The trackman makes it super easy to do this as you can select a practice session, and then pick what clubs you are hitting. Once I was done, I couldn't figure out how to email myself the results, so I just took pictures and then used the interwebs to analyze my averages based off the numbers of my range session. If you are looking to get a baseline of your stock yardages, this is a good place to start. Overall, easily one of the best practice ranges on this side of the bay. Definitely will be back.

I have been playing golf for close to 40 years. For the last 5-10 years my playing was very…read moresporadic (think 3 times a year) so I lost any sort of comfortability with my swing. I could still putt and chip well, but felt like my swing was out of whack and golf was no longer fun. So, I decided to take a lesson from Dan. I asked a number of people I knew from the Baylands Golf Links (where Dan teaches!) and they all said that Dan was the instructor they had selected. That was good enough for me. i have only had one lesson with Dan, and I already have my love for the game back! What I appreciate about Dan is that he likes to keep it simple and help you focus on one thing. That allowed me to get out of my head and focus on my set-up and swing. There will be more to learn, and I plan to take more lessons, but for now I am working on practicing the swing he set me up to have. With Dan you will not get a ton of input on mechanics. He is looking at you and your swing, then helping that swing to improve. His philosophy of everyone having their own swing and learning to embrace that swing within their own body makes a ton of sense to me and is far more motivating and enjoyable when I practice. I cannot recommend Dan more highly.

This is a response to Leigh's reply:…read more In short, I have documentation that proves what I wrote in my initial review. I received only 4 of the 35 lessons (and never got the 2 on-course ones). Texts that prove I had to reschedule only 1 of those 4 lessons within 24 hrs because I was sick (all other reschedule requests were by Leigh, who initiated 3 in total - including 1 within 24 hrs of the scheduled lesson). The texts also prove Leigh was unresponsive for several days at a time on more than one occasion about rescheduling even when he was the initiator to ask for the change. At one point, he had to ask me to remind him when our next lesson was scheduled because he didn't know! There is clear proof I offered 2X the value of those 4 lessons ($40 each vs. $20 each) - which I still believe was a more than fair offer. I never asked for a full refund - ever. I initiated that offer as a compromise to Leigh and only asked for the balance of my payment. In addition to the compromise I described above, I also offered to pay Leigh on a pay-as-we-go schedule AND at a higher rate than the original packaged rate. When it was clear that no compromise could be reached, I initiated a charge-back with my CC company - again, consistent with the offer I described above (whereas I could have easily asked for a higher chargeback considering the actual package rate of those 4 lessons). Leigh has tried to fall back on the assertion that his standard lesson rate is $75/hr, that I am "severely undervaluing" his time / worth - yet he was the one who initially offered and pressed me to sign up for a 10-lesson package for $200 during my first ever Groupon lesson with him (lesson 1 of 3 from the Groupon deals he regularly runs). In retrospect, I made a grave mistake by assuming the quality of that first Groupon lesson would carry over to future lessons - and Leigh and I settled on a 1-year package w/ 35, 1-hr lessons + 2 on-course lessons. Again, I received only 4 of those 1-hr lessons in a 2-month period. At that rate, I knew I would never get the remainder of the lessons in a reasonable period. And I would lose any claim at a refund from my CC company after a certain period of time - not to mention that money would be better used to take lessons somewhere else. I have proof of all of this and Leigh's defensiveness and unwillingness to compromise. Out of respect for Leigh's privacy, I'm not going to post the texts or other documentation that clearly support my case - but I have already shared this with my CC company who have since already ruled in favor of my recount of this experience. They shared Leigh's written rebuttal to the chargeback - which, just like Leigh's reply on this review, lacked any substantial evidence whatsoever. Leigh reply only further highlights his defensive nature and inability to admit there are clear problems with his business. This is unfortunate, because I even tried to help him by sharing technology solutions (e.g., auto-syncing lesson videos to Google Drive so he doesn't have to do this manually - an issue you can find in other reviews - as well as scheduling tool options). As a final word: The prices of the Groupon packages are incredibly enticing. You will not find a cheaper rate for golf lessons in the Bay Area. But please consider this review carefully - especially if you are considering a longer-term lesson package.

My wife and I had an amazing experience at Fox Hole Golf Club! From the moment we arrived, we were…read moreimpressed by how welcoming it felt (we are beginners at golf). Max (who I believe is the owner) went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. He was incredibly kind, helpful, and provided some of the best customer service we've experienced. The reservation process was quick and easy, and the hourly rate was very affordable ($40 per hour and additional $5 per person) Since we don't own golf clubs, they provided us with a set at no extra charge, and even gave us complimentary chilled water bottles, which were much appreciated after working up a sweat. The facility itself was spotless, comfortable, and nicely air-conditioned, making it a great place to spend a an hour in especially on a hot day. One of our favorite features was being able to stream YouTube TV, so we watched the World Cup while practicing our swings--it made the experience even more enjoyable. The simulator technology was incredible. It provided detailed feedback that really helped us understand and improve our swings. Whether you're a beginner like us or an experienced golfer looking to fine-tune your game, the technology is both fun and genuinely useful. Overall, we had such a great time and can't recommend Fox Hole Golf Club enough. Between the outstanding customer service, clean facilities, affordable pricing, and top-notch simulator technology, it was an all-around fantastic experience. We'll definitely be back!

Don't get a golf coach, just come here…read more Highly recommended for beginners. I was spending $120 an hour on coaching lessons before this, and getting vague recommendations that only confused me more. For a $40 an hour, 1/3 the price, you get to see exactly what you are doing wrong, not be in the sun all day, and hit all the balls you want. The simulator is top tier, dead simple to use, and gives you a recording of every swing. It even has pose detection to tell you exactly what's wrong with your form. I initially came to see how far I could hit but spent the entire time correcting posture problems detected by the simulator~

I needed my rackets restrung and the nearest tennis shop to my house wasn't open yet. Since I had…read morea dentist appointment nearby, I called The Woodside Tennis Shop to inquire if they had the strings that I wanted and they indeed had it. I dropped off two rackets and explained to Mark, the new owner, that my racket hadn't been restrung in a year and my backup racket hadn't been restrung since 2023. I'm a flat ball hitter, so I don't normally break strings, but I needed more control. He was very nice and measured the tension of my backup racket and informed me that it was surprisingly still good to play with and didn't need to be restrung. Since it had been over 3 years, I told him to restring both of them anyway. Before I left, I asked how long it would take and Mark told me it would be 2 business days. The very next day, I get a text from Mark telling me that my rackets were ready for pickup! Unfortunately, they were closing at 3:45pm so I couldn't pick them up in time since I was at work. Mark was so kind and offered to deliver them to my house or work. I told him where I worked and he said he lived nearby so it wouldn't be a problem to drop them off. I was so impressed! He even showed up almost 30 min before the time he initially told me! He texted me the cost of the stringing, but also said that I could pay him via Zelle after he dropped off my rackets. Overall, the price of the stringing was probably slightly higher than other tennis shops that I've been to, but the service alone was outstanding!!! I'd definitely go back again despite it not being that close to where I live.
