Ryan has been my coach for about 3 years, starting over at GolfTEC N Bethesda and now at GolfTEC…read moreHerndon. Ryan has truly helped me improve my golf game-- I've gained 10 yds on average on my irons and 25-30+ yds on driver, my scoring average has gone down by about 10 strokes, and I have a lot more shots in my bag now. I saw significant improvement in just a few lessons, but I've continued to stick with it because Ryan has helped me improve my golf IQ. The GolfTEC setup provides a lot of data points- club and body angles, swing and ball speeds, path, etc. Ryan takes the time to explain how to interpret the data and apply it to my swing and my game. I'm able to fix my swing on the course when needed because he's helped me understand it better. I've heard people say GolfTEC has a one-size-fits-all rather than individual approach, but that has not been my experience. Ryan is always working and thinking about the next step to elevate my game; he is always thinking about a plan and how each lesson contributes to my goals. The lessons are very interactive-- I ask questions, discuss the concepts, watch videos. Ryan takes the time to make sure I understand. He is a great coach. He is very professional and knowledgeable, and has always treated me with nothing but respect and kindness. A+++ Would recommend to beginners and experienced golfers alike. Two of my beginner friends have also taken lessons from Ryan, and they've made big improvements.

It was really nice that each cart had a GPS map, a little cooler for drinks and you could order on there. Some of the green was muddy but only a couple of pockets.

My only feedback would be that after ordering food it took a very long time for them to get to us and we were almost finished by that time. Oh, and also the cart girl was friendly! All in all, I would definitely come back for a day outside at this golf course.

The reception was held in a large room with tables on one side and the dance floor, bar, and cookie table on the other side. There were doors to exit outside for fresh air which was nice as things warmed up fast once the dancing started. The food was good, serving its purpose. Everything was nicely done and laid out. It worked perfectly for the smaller wedding that we attended. This was a nice venue for a small/medium sized wedding. Each space that was used worked well. Overall a pleasant experience!

Walked in around 4:20 for my 4:30-5:30 "(Indoor) Performance Studio lesson"…read more I was welcomed by Kelly King ( with whom I had the lesson with ) with a big smile and a handshake which always gives a good first impression. Since I was a little early and there was junior classes going on , I was told to take a seat until my time started. The seating area had full view of the facilities , water available and a TV where a golf tournament was on. For the ten minutes I was seated , I was watching Steve WenPetren coach the junior class that was going on . He seemed very engaged with each of the kids during practice and seemed supportive while also providing advice. Now onto my lesson. It was undoubtedly 100% the best hour I have ever spent on my golf swing ever. We used the TrackMan to measure swing characteristics and swing data . Within minutes , Kelly had me hitting straighter , further and more consistent with my pitching wedge, all backed up by hard data/numbers. We moved onto putting , pitching , driving and full iron shots , all within the hour. He helped me engage parts of my body to help my golf swing that not only looked better on camera but I can see with the swing data myself. I was also given some tips to take to the range and putting green to improve my game outside of lessons. I was semi-doubtful of how much I could change in an hour, but I was proved wrong and I will be back in the future. I was given an email with the data of almost every shot I hit ( including a couple of videos ). 100% would recommend. Thanks Kelly !

TWG has something for every player when it comes to club heads, shafts, and grips, and they will make every effort to get you into the right clubs for your swing and playstyle, and their top of the line simulators and equipment will confirm that the clubs are the right ones for you. They even have gear to analyze your putting stroke to make sure you aren't missing those three foot putts anymore! You can work with one of their experts in the individual bays to analyze or correct anything you feel may be lacking with your mechanics, or you can play a virtual round of golf when the weather gets a bit too cold to do the real thing. In particular, I am eager to continue playing and developing my game over the winter with TWG as my spot of choice. They are extremely knowledgeable about the game and eager to help you reach your goals when playing golf. I will be recommending TWG to my friends and family that play, and will continue coming back in the future.

I am a 43-year-old golfer with a 12 handicap. I purchased a one-month membership with the goal of…read moremaking some changes to my swing and potentially buying new irons. The facility itself is clean, impressive, and well maintained. Unfortunately, my experience with the golf instruction was disappointing. As part of the membership, I received a swing assessment with Shane. During the assessment, he never asked about my handicap, my golf background, my typical ball flight, my goals, or what I was hoping to improve. I felt like I was being judged entirely on my swing without any context about my game. He showed me pictures of Ben Hogan's and Tiger Woods' swings and suggested that I watch PGA tournaments and pay attention to how players practice. He told me my takeaway was wrong, that I needed to widen my setup, and that I needed to rotate my shoulders. However, I was given very little instruction on how to make those changes. I was given a swing sequence and a shoulder exercise, but no real progression or repeatable drills to help me develop the new movement. At the end of the lesson, I was asked if I wanted to sign up for five lessons for $550. I was already somewhat deflated by the experience, but I wanted to improve my swing, so I decided to continue. When I came back for my second lesson, Shane did not remember me. He again showed me the same Ben Hogan and Tiger Woods swing pictures and once again told me to watch PGA tournaments and watch players practice. It felt like I was receiving essentially the same lesson for a second time. This time, he moved me farther away from the ball and then told me to choke up on the club. I told him that I felt extremely far from the ball and that I could feel my back pulling to compensate for the position. I took three swings, and on the third swing I lost my balance. He then pointed out that I was out of balance. From my perspective, the setup changes had contributed to the problem, and I wasn't given a clear explanation of why the changes were being made. My biggest issue was not that he identified things in my swing that needed work. I expected to be critiqued. My issue was that I was often given 10 things to fix but no clear plan for how to fix them. I wasn't given enough repeatable drills, practice routines, swing feels, or progressions that I could take to the range and work on. I ultimately spent about five weeks watching YouTube videos and working on my takeaway and swing on my own. I realized I was spending more time trying to teach myself how to make the changes than I had spent actually learning how to make them during my lessons. That made me question what I was paying for. I decided to ask for a refund and will be looking for a different instructor. I understand that different golfers respond to different teaching styles, and Shane may be a good instructor for some players. However, his approach was not a good fit for me. I felt like he had one particular way he wanted me to swing, rather than working with me to understand my existing swing and giving me a structured way to make changes. I don't have anything negative to say about the facility itself, and the other instructor I interacted with was a nice guy. I may still use the facility when I am ready to purchase new irons. My criticism is specifically about my experience with the lessons. My advice to other golfers would be to take one lesson with Shane before committing to a package. For me, the experience was ultimately discouraging because I wanted instruction that gave me a clear understanding of what I needed to change, why I needed to change it, and--most importantly--how to practice it.

I have tried to like this course, but the management just doesn't care if you like it or not, if…read morethey did, they would have consider the reviews. The rough needs to be mowed 5 inches is a bit much and it would certainly speed up play, because most average golfers can't find their balls in the rough. Secondly while I understand this is a municipal course golf etiquette is a must anywhere you play, if they had a ranger managing the course the pace of play would be suitable. This was not the case since the foursome in front of us had at least 3 open holes in front of them and would not let the faster players (a twosome) to play through. This held up the entire course, making it 4.5-hour round for two people to play. I just can't do it again for the price they charge!!!
