I visited to get my distances dialed in, and got assistance after with an email of the report. Turns out it was a single video of someone else. After several days of waiting, I finally got a report with some data. But Carry and Total Distance were not available - whether via browser or the Trackman app. Then I was told I had to have signed into the their bay when I was onsite. But when I arrived onsite with a buddy, we both said we need help getting set up and thus we thought we were - turns out that wasn't the case. Seems to me that if you know Trackman this place may be worth a try. If you don't, you should learn before you go or risk the chance of not having key data available after the session. Unfortunately, with all the back and forth and the fact I never got the 2 most important data points I wanted (the reason I signed up was to dial in iron and wedge distances) I would reconsider going here. When I suggested that all employees become proficient in Trackman and asked what they thought I heard nothing back. Probably worth a try, but, buyer beware. If I were the shop owner, I would have offered a return session on the house. This never crossed their minds. Too bad.

I don't seem to have that problem too much since training with Kevin. He helped me pick out new irons, my old set I bought off Craigslist and was missing clubs.

Invested in new irons at Keplar's and Audra suggested Rob. One session identified a significant flaw with my hands and added real stopping power on the green with short wedges, something I'd really struggled with for years. I'm back to recording scores in the high 70s/low 80s. Rob didn't know but I have doctoral-level biomechanics training, which allowed me to especially appreciate his ability to blend the technical with the art that is golf. Well played, Rob!

Long time overdo. Russell is different, but in the most positive way. Although Russell has the…read moretechnical knowledge to break down your golf swing from start to finish, he specializes in explaining the golf swing in the easiest way possible. Russell has the ability to teach using ideas rather than terms, thus eliminately multiple swing thoughts at the moment of impact. Russell emphasizes swing thoughts, as "the driver head must beat the hands at the finish line" and "once your thumbs are up, start the downswing." Russell's words of wisdom have helped lower my scores but more importantly, made golf more enjoyable, as I have to think much less lol. Aside from his golf knowledge, Russell has always been professional, well dressed (G/Fore), prompt, and always knows how to make people laugh when needed. Best of all is his pup, Crisco!

But I'm very grateful that I met Russell as my instructor. He made my experience so much enjoyable. Now that I'm getting into golfing and learning it. It's so fun! The outcome is always different every single swing, the movement. Literally everything. I looked forward to coming and learning more for my best potential. Russell always brings out the best during my lesson. *Always remember, PGA! (POSTURE, GRIP, ALIGNMENT)*. Every sports have its own fundamental skills and without knowing the basics, it's impossible to learn a new sports. He's definitely aware of this so he won't BS nothing! He starts off teaching the fundamental skills of golf, moves onto the next and so on and on. He has a book by John Jacob and he showed me how things are supposed to look like and that helped a lot for someone like me who's a tactile-visual learner. By the second lesson, I started to see the difference of my posture/swings right away. I never expected to learn this fast. He's super interactive and will point out the "mistakes" that I'm doing right away. My weakness was not be able to have my club DOWN or it was late. I GOTTA GO DOWN!! (you'll understand this once you start learning from him). I always have that in back of my mind to keep it down. I stopped thinking or focusing too much on the wrist, head, feet, backswings, things surrounding you because it makes it really difficult to have your own swing so now I just focus my eyes on the ball and do what he told me to do! Very happy with the results and where I'm at now. I'll definitely get more lessons from master shifu in his dojo! Thank you for making it so fun!!

I came here solo and stayed for 2 hours. 30 mins on the range feature getting dialed in and then played some rounds on Sutton bay and The Links at Spanish Bay! Highly recommend, will definitely be back for more solo sessions and bringing friends. Great alternative when the course conditions are too wet.

Justin is an exceptional golf coach that has lots of knowledge of the game, patience with students,…read moreand a laser focus on helping his students achieve their personal goals. I approached Justin for golf lessons with zero experience and knowledge in golf so I was a bit intimidated by the range. To get an understanding of my level, Justin observed my swing giving me feedback and using easy to understand analogies. This made the learning process very simple and easy to apply. Justin also showed me a video of my alignment and provided adjustments that I needed to make. Throughout the lesson Justin was positive, kind, and supportive in helping me get a good foundation for golf. If you are new to the game of golf and want someone who can break the game down to its core, Justin is the guy to go see. He will have you hitting the ball and playing the game the right way in no time.

(I think he thinks that I might cramp in on his guy time). I've been to the range a few times, but I couldn't seem to get the ball past the 50 yd flag. (That, and there have been a few times where the ball will catapult into the little walls that are around the mats...I've had to yell "duck" a few times)...But I digress. Byron has taught me how to actually hit the ball forward. I am now lobbing it clearly over 100 yards, and my grip on my clubs isn't white-knuckle tight. Yes, I know that it's not much, but again, I am a clear cut beginner, and Byron has me wanting to continue to play. He works in a great facility in Martinez called Power Endurance, and his set up is state of the art. I've seen a few of the other people he's been teaching, and they look like they're learning a lot. Looking at his little snippet on their website (trainpe.com), he has quite the pedigree in golf: Former NCAA All-American UCLA Golf Team Captain UCLA Golf Team MVP Teaching lessons over 25 years But what I like about him is he makes me feel comfortable with my game, and his suggestions on how to improve it have really helped.

Byron shows my son how to do something, why he needs to do it, practices until he gets it right several times and then reviews what they did.

Based on the great reviews and the proximity to where I worked, I took a chance and booked a lesson. Best thing I could have done. Michael's teaching style is very adaptable to what my personal goals were. Simply put, I wanted to improve my swing and make it more consistent to improve my ball contact. Knowing it would be a process, my first lesson went a long way to boost my confidence in his teaching style and his ability to translate techniques into a basic thought. He broke down my swing and taught me the reasons why it was inconsistent - using simple concepts and drills to get me in a better position. I've been taking lessons every other week with him and have seen my handicap index drop two full points. I'm hitting the ball much more cleanly and consistently, I feel confident on the golf course for the first time in forever, and am making more birdies and pars now than I ever have. He uses Trackman technology where needed, can do fittings and his current facility is second to none. A HUGE thank you to Michael.
