He is a man with golf knowledge and a lot of integrity. Lessons with Sean have been a very positive experience. He is prompt and very patient in his teaching. Our teenage son decided he would like to try out for the HS golf team at orientation. With no golf experience, Sean took a 14 year old teen and helped him achieve his goal of making the team. I know his success is a direct reflection of the time spent with Sean. His attention to detail and communication are wonderful. He is pretty techy too and sends us video swings of our son so we can see the progress. Overall, a great golf coach and man! We still see Sean as much as possible for lessons to keep our sons form in line.

I've had many golf instructors prior to meeting TR, and none of them had the experience let alone personal touch that you get with TR. Previous instructors would always try and shape my swing to match their work, whereas TR is patient and works with your play style to unlock your potential. What I think is one of TR's best qualities is his ability to explain golf in so many different ways. He is constantly adapting to my individual understanding. Cannot thank him enough for his effect on my game!

We booked a morning tee time here on a Sunday. We had kind of preplanned everything and checked out…read moreonline pricing before heading out. We show up a little late due to missing an exit (by about 7 minutes) but the younger man up front doesn't give us any issues when checking in. We paid and realized it came out to a bit more than expected so I go back in and ask for a some clarification since I didn't get a receipt. The new person up front looks super annoyed that I asked. Turns out the rental clubs got charged at the 18 hole rate so I told him we only planned on 9 holes. He asks me where the cheaper price is and I show him their online website which clearly states $9 and before he even looks he said it was wrong and the prices never got updated. Annoying enough the prices said 2025 rates. Now I know sometimes mistakes happen so I don't really mind the difference in price BUT what I did mind was the attitude. He was sighing, rolling his eyes and his overall general tone was just rude. I never got a sorry or anything for the misunderstanding. As of Monday when I checked, they updated their pricing to reflect what I was charged. Anyway, now we head out to the first hole. It is probably about 10:35. We line up behind the first hole and there are two groups from earlier times still playing ahead of us so realistically none of this set anyone back, right? The two groups finish up and it's probably 10:45 by the time we're up to hit. Well, guess what! Some older guy asked us when our tee time was. We said 10:20 and he's mad. He tells us we're almost half an hour late even though we were waiting behind two groups who JUST finished. Says he doesn't even know if we can play because now we'll set EVERYONE back. Mind you the next group was not even behind us yet. He makes us wait while he scurries around to ask other staff he we can go I presume. After about 4-5 minutes he waves us off to start. We are relatively fast players. We had no issue getting to the second hole before the next group was ready to play. It really just ruined our whole experience. We didn't feel welcomed at all. My sister look so frustrated she could cry. We only ran into ONE nice staff member and he looked like an instructor. Spoke to us very nice and made sure we had all the clubs we paid for. Other players on the course were also nice luckily. This is all really unfortunate because the course was a fun and pretty well kept. I did also leave a similar review on their survey and was contacted by Joe. He was nice through email and offered to cover our next trip but I really do not think we will be back.

It's pretty much just a bare bones simple driving range. Doesn't protect you really from the wind but oh well.

Good for grab and go but honestly I won't be hanging out here after a round. The "pro shop" is pretty rough when it comes to merchandise to buy... don't get me wrong, they have stuff but it's lacking in terms of total gear, racks normally seem empty and missing size runs. Staff is super friendly, never had an issue with them. Will play more rounds here in the future.

They were significantly slowing down the pace of play for everybody and the two groups behind us caught up to us. Also, that's something that should've been mentioned in the clubhouse before the round started. We paid good money to come play and not deal with this. A notice would've fixed the problem. Also taking to consideration we're playing on punched greens, which again was not announced.

Started Golftec in Aug 2021 with Michael Blinco and have no plans of going anywhere else for my…read moregolf instruction. After trying out multiple instructors in the Portland area (Redtail, Pumpkin Ridge, Rock Creek) and several others in the US (at least 50 hours of total instruction), Golftec stands out to me as one of the best setups for a golfer looking to improve. Michael's approach on the game is multifaceted, not just how best to swing a club. We go through swing mechanics on an indoor simulator and apply them during playing lessons on-course. Short-game and putting lessons have been the weakest part of my game, but now are a more confident part of my game. Instruction on strategy and course management has dramatically increased my percentage of hitting greens on approach shots. Michael's engineering background, his deep knowledge of the game, and his passion for instruction helped me better understand my golf game. I now am better equipped to self diagnose and fix day-to-day adjustments in my swing. The facility also allows for indoor practice on a simulator which is key for off-season improvement to ready for the new season. The video recording/playback in the practice sessions allows you to see whether or not the swing mechanics taught during lessons are being implemented during practice. This feature has increased the efficacy of my practice sessions in a way I couldn't have imagined previously. I can write another page worth of praise for Michael and Golftec, but it's just easier for you to try it yourself. Go in for a swing evaluation; it's $95 and it's likely you'll walk away from that session with actual solutions that work rather than YouTubing/Instagraming a fix that will cause more problems than it fixes.
