    I've been a weekend hacker for approximately 15 years of playing golf. My decision to start taking…read morelessons is largely due to COVID and not being able to snowboard (my main sport) for the year. I purchased a full package of lessons/fitting for a full year (25 lessons) My coach is Chris Sweet and he is an excellent coach. For the first two months, my swing was deconstructed into different parts and he does a great job of not overloading you with adjustments to make. During this time, my swing fell apart but it makes sense - especially if you understand the plateau of latent potential. From my initial swing evaluation to only 8 lessons and 10 weeks later, I've gained about 35 yards of carry distance on my 7 iron (130 yards to 165 yards) adding a nice draw into my shot shape and I haven't even gotten a club fitting yet. I think this speaks volumes about the quality of instruction I received with Chris. If you're familiar with learning something new and improving at it as quickly as possible, you'll know it takes commitment/practice on your part. They have a plethora of resources available to become a student of the game and continue learning even while you're not striking balls. Additionally, you can review past lessons and refer to them if something stops working with your swing which was critically important for me.

    I paid for my classes which included being fitted for clubs yet I was never afforded the latter. I…read moresent multiple emails to arrange for the fitting and never received a response. Also the instruction I received seemed to be more confusing than helpful. Since I've completed classes there I've spent a lot of time reviewing YouTube videos and reading books and I realized my issue was my hands. If you're not holding the club correctly you will never get your form correct especially on the back swing. Once I figured this out, my swing improved dramatically. But this is something they should have been stressed at GolfTEC. I felt as though the instructor was disconnected insofar as training and was just "mailing it in." I'm not saying it was worthless because that would not be fair - there were some good pointers that I picked up there but I felt there should have been more emphasis on basic concepts that may have made a huge difference for me. Are they friendly? Absolutely. They were never rude. They were always genuinely friendly. My recommendation is read as much as you can in advance and watch as many videos as you can before you go there because I doubt if you will receive any strong technical explanation (no handouts were given at all just some scribble on a board in the room). It isn't worth it in my opinion. I honestly believe that , with a little training, I could explain more than I received: when you are not good at something and then figure things out you can readily share those pitfalls with others.

    Incredible round of golf with friends. It was my wedding weekend and the greens were in pristine…read morecondition and the layout was challenging. Will certainly return this summer to try all 27 holes. Mulligan to the Green for life.

    Great course! One of the more challenging ones the area with elevation, difficult greens and…read morehazards that play to tee box. Fairly long at /almost 6500yrds. Fairways were nice and well kept. Trees are medium to large and do come into play. The elevation can throw off distances, so when playing a higher elevation green, club up for sure. Rough is ok unless to go for it in which case you run the chance of get ur clubhead snagged. Greens are tough...Seems the groundskeeper was having a bad morning but everything was on a slope it seemed. Still did better than the two regulars who were paired up with me. One thing that did get me was how humid it was...It wrecked havoc on my grip and I had to be conscious of it. Pro-shop like all the courses I have been to in NJ and border NY have no ball markers for sale. However, the gent at the shop gave a sample one since he heard I was visiting from CA. That was class of him for sure. Love the course and layout. I played Pines and Lake side which confused my golf app but 85 everywhere is 85. Highly recommend...Not sure why a lot of golfers in the area grade so harshly on their courses...As I have mentioned to others I have golfed with in the area. Your municipal courses are like amour high end courses from a groundskeeping standpoint. Plus most of the people I have played so far in the Northern NJ border NY we're ok at best 20-30+ hdcpers and are the last people who should review any course. Now if you are mid to single digit handicapper this is a must golf if you are in the area and highly recommended if you are looking for a challenging course.
