Anne always greets me with a smile and such a positive attitude. Jesse is also always giving me tips on my swing and is so willing to help.

As a member of El Cariso, this comes from a place of love. I have over 20 years of hospitality…read moreexperience, and I'm appalled by the customer service in the clubhouse. With the exception of the red-haired lady, the rest of the staff--particularly the men--act like they despise being there. The website is completely unreliable for bookings, so I'm forced to call. Every single time, I'm told they "can't book over the phone," even though they absolutely can. After just two months, I'm seriously considering canceling my membership. That should tell you how bad it is. I genuinely enjoy the course itself, but walking into the clubhouse fills me with anxiety. The staff make you feel small, stupid, and unwelcome. They ooze contempt simply for you daring to be a paying customer. No smiles. No eye contact. No thank you for your business. Nothing. I can tolerate overbookings. I can tolerate running out of carts on a regular basis. What I cannot tolerate is dealing with people who clearly couldn't care less about the guest experience. It's heartbreaking to watch how much potential business the upstairs bar is losing because the guys downstairs treat basic customer service like it's beneath them. The worst part? This is an incredibly simple fix. A smile, basic eye contact, and minimal human decency would go a very long way. Right now, it feels like the staff is actively working against the enjoyment of the course, not for it

I am a beginner and I feel very lucky to have Ben as my instructor. I found him through Yelp and…read morelooked up his profile on PGA's website. It turns out that Ben is the only PGA instructor in Sunland. Ben is always patient and he explains each step clearly. He has his own teaching method, and a way of assessment. He is very experienced and knows what he is doing. When I was practicing putting one day, he asked me to putt in a direction that looked ridiculous to me. But he is the pro, what can I say?? So I followed his instruction and did exactly what he asked me to do, the ball went in! I recommend 30-minute lessons, because one-hour lessons will make me feel tired and hard to concentrate.

Being the stereotypical Korean, I decided to pick up golf last year and I tried a couple of…read moredifferent instructors before I found Ben, and here's how he is different: 1. He incorporates the mental approach of golf into his lessons, rather than just pointing out how to change my swing. What I mean is that he gets you to be in the right mindset before hitting the ball, which has helped me a lot on the times I would get frustrated. 2. He's all about teaching a natural, fluid swing and not trying force it, rather than trying to kill the ball like I tend to do. This actually helps with not just accuracy but also distance. 3. He teaches useful drills to help your swing, that you can practice both at home or at the range. 4. The way he teaches is very simple and easy to understand. You only think about 1 or 2 things as you try your swing, instead of the list of 10 different things that just overwhelms most beginners. 5. He's really laid back, which I think helped me take in everything he was saying. Sometimes I don't know how he keeps his patience with me when I make the same mistakes over and over. 6. I was CONVINCED that I was pushing some of my shots because I need to adjust my clubs. He could have easily charged me a ton of money to make adjustments and get new shafts, but instead he looked at my swing and showed me that it was the carpenter, not the tools. I'm grateful that he taught me the root of the problem, rather than trying to accommodate for a flawed swing. 7. I frequently email him about different problems I run across during a round (how to hit on an uneven lie, etc) and he's always willing to give really helpful advice. Not many instructors would go out of their way to do that. 8. Grass range! So much better than hitting off mats. Personal story: Before meeting Ben, I knew I was casting the club but previous instructors had all told me it was because I wasn't whipping my hands/wrist fast enough, which really introduced a lot more errors and inconsistency when I tried that. When Ben explained it to me, I didn't really get it at first until I kept practicing the drill he taught me and then a few days later, it made complete sense. Now I understand how to release the club properly and effortlessly every time and that alone was worth the lesson! I can't recommend Ben enough. If you're having trouble with your swing or need club adjustments, you should definitely check him out!

His leadership and dedication were truly appreciated and made a huge difference in allowing us to enjoy the celebration without worrying about the details. And a special thank you to Carlos, who took the time to personally check in with the host throughout the evening to make sure she was happy and satisfied. That level of personal attention meant so much and truly demonstrated how much Knollwood cares about its clients.

But the course design is so different from other courses with its assortment of terrain & slopes. The fairways & greens could be better yet still decent & playable. We started at 3PM on a Saturday and got paired with a nice Korean couple. Pace of play was good. Unfortunately due to our late start we had to quit after the 12th whole since it became dark & hard to see our ball. We past some who were still playing with their luminous balls. Definitely will return to play again the whole 18 holes.

He knows his stuff, and he has many different tools to help you improve your swing. He is super patient and very generous with his time. You can hear some people say that they are passionate about what they do, but not really mean it. John is legitimately obsessed with making you better. I was so impressed after 8 lessons that I decided to buy his $3,000 package. I'm excited to see how far he can help me improve my game. If you're reading this, try him out.

I did not know what to expect at first but he's so easy going and was able to explain things in the simplest of ways that I could actually understand him!! Lol. I did an hour lesson and I can confidently say I know what Im working on. Two weeks after the first lesson I just shot my lowest round ever 88! Can't recommend John Ray Leary enough!!!

We were a twosome with a group of 4 behind us and a set pair of players ahead of us. Didn't feel rushed at all. Despite it being 95 degrees yesterday, the breeze made it quite manageable. Landscape seems well taken care of and it was nice to golf with beautiful mountains behind us - reminded me of Colorado and Utah. Divots weren't a problem for us when we played.

First of all there is no market in that part of LA for 200 a round. On the Friday before Labor Day you can have any tee time you want. You can probably have the whole course to yourself, but 200 dollars. It's just the principle of the whole thing. If you don't want play on your golf course then go private. This place is a complete waste of space. If this were any other industry it would be price gouging. It's cool with me, I'm just gonna go play Rustic for 1/3 of the price. Come on now Angeles National, just cut your rates.

His studio is clean, quite, cozy, and private, which dimmly lights up with a Himalayan salt lamp. Dharam's personality is kind hearted, and he has a passion to help people.
