As a total noob to golf, I needed an instructor to show me the way. I found Yumi on Yelp! and…read morepromptly gave her a call. She was able to fit me in her schedule and I got a lesson with her right away. She taught me the basics from putting to full swings in a very easy to understand kinda way. Additionally, she also offered video analysis, which was a neat application where you can actually see your swings and stance on a screen. I appreciated her patience with me while I asked her repetitive questions. I will definitely continue my lessons with her until I can confidently play by myself. Overall, highly recommended!

I have taken a few golf lessons with Yumi and my swing has improved dramatically ever since. Yumi…read moreis a certified PGA pro and utilizes video tools to expose flaws and analyze every aspect of my golf swing. Yumi is also very helpful in suggesting different methods to correct minor flaws of my swing, which includes stance, proper way of holding the club, wrist movements, etc. Now, I have more confidence in launching the ball further and straighter. In golfing, all you need is consistency and hitting the ball straight, right? Each lesson lasts for about an hour but most of the time goes beyond the hour mark. I would definitely recommend all avid golfers take lessons from Yumi. Totally worth it!

I've been wanting to understand golf on a deeper level for a while, and she created such a comfortable and encouraging environment where I could ask questions...even the ones that felt a little silly... Her knowledge of the game is impressive, and she breaks things down in a way that's easy to understand while still being incredibly effective. She gives feedback and practical tips that have genuinely helped me improve and feel more confident in my swing. You can immediately tell that golf is her true passion, and that energy shines through in every bit of direction and encouragement she gives. She celebrates the small wins with you while patiently helping you work through improvement. I always leave each session feeling motivated, accomplished, and excited to keep practicing. If you're looking for a coach who makes learning golf both fun and empowering, Michelle is truly a hole-in-one! Proof that the right coach makes all the difference on and off the course. Thank you so much Michelle! The epic 5 star reviews is a telling sign that you are an incredible coach and appreciate your guidance!

I came into golf as a complete beginner--I had never even swung a club before my first lesson. From…read morethe start, Nowndale was incredibly patient and supportive. He took the time to walk me through the fundamentals step by step, and what really stood out to me was how he explained not just the how, but the why behind each movement. His ability to break down the physics of the swing in a clear, easy-to-understand way made a huge difference in how quickly I was able to grasp the basics. Beyond that, he's consistently positive and encouraging--especially when I get frustrated. He's quick to remind me to have fun and enjoy the process, which has helped me stay motivated. Every session is well-structured, and he always follows up with drills and a practice plan so I know exactly what to work on between lessons. Even outside of our sessions, he's responsive and generous with his time. I've texted him questions I forgot to ask during our lessons, and he always replies with helpful advice. If you're looking for an instructor who's not only knowledgeable but also genuinely invested in your progress, I can't recommend Nowndale enough.

Nowndale is truly an amazing golf instructor…read more The first lesson alone helped me so much. He explains everything so clearly and is very patient. I love the fact that the lessons are indoor and has cameras so that he can show me and I can see what I need to change and work on. AND there's free parking !! Something I was worried about with getting lessons was not getting my money's worth. Sometimes instructors can be very chatty and I don't feel like I'm getting an actual full hour's worth of a lesson. If that is something you're concerned about, please consider Nowndale! Every time I come in for a lesson, it is jam packed with information and practice time. He really focuses on the lesson and your improvement. I feel very comfortable asking him questions (even if they feel silly) and he'll kindly answer and help me understand. I really have nothing negative to say. I have had 5 lessons and each one has been a very positive experience. I still have a lot to learn, but I can definitely say I have improved a lot since starting lessons.

Had my first trail lesson with Sean today. He was very different from what I was expecting; in a…read moregood way. He is very detailed about understanding the basic and theories of swing so my swing can be repeatable. It is like breaking down the "physics" of golf by bits and having you to understand why each bit is important for a good swing. A little note form my lesson today: Gear 1: body Gear 2: arms Gear 3: hand and clubs - They should be lock, unlock, lock OR unlock, lock, unlock. NO 2 connecting locks or unlocks. Stage 1: gear 2 movement, gear 1 and 3 lock. Make sure the swing up is above the plane (or above "water level") then swing down plane. Armpit is connected to the body and not loose, loose of arm and body will cause gear to loosen up. Stage 2: arm swing with hip movement finish; or 3 quarter swing. Starts with stage 1, finish with hip rotation forward, left hip on top of ankle (weight forward). And slight head tilt.

The honeymoon phase is over and I have moved on. Sean is good at golfing, but I think his coaching…read morecan use some work. As a beginner, it's fine, he teaches the fundamentals real well. As I continued with him, each lesson got more layered and confusing. I felt I was learning a tour level swing and it shouldn't be this complicated. At the end of the lessons, there was never any game plan. Just a "keep working on it", which didn't feel sincere, and he moved onto the next student. All the teachers there are in the $120-$150 range so it's not cheap. Spend your money wisely, and don't go for lessons every week. It also takes time and reps to get what you learned. I feel that was part of the problem, and was not stopped.

Alhambra golf driving range and course are an excellent place to start learning how to golf…read more The range has a shot tracer that you can connect to your phone to track all of your shots. It can get quite busy during peak hours and especially in the summer. There is also an area to practice short pitch shots and a sand trap. A bucket of balls cost a bit more than the average range but the shot tracer is well worth it. The 18 hole course is a bit better than your typical muni course. Greens aren't in the best shape but they are decent for the cost of the round. There is also a proshop with all you need and more to play a round. I highly recommend Alhambra Golf course!

The biggest issue at Alhambra Golf Course is safety, and it honestly feels like management does not…read morecare to properly address it. The driving range net near the first tee is clearly too short, and from what I experienced, this has apparently been an ongoing problem for years without meaningful changes being made. During my round I was almost hit by golf balls three separate times, including being struck by a range ball on the first tee. There were already dozens of balls scattered around the tee box, making it obvious this is not some rare or unexpected occurrence. A warning over the loudspeaker does not fix an unsafe setup when range balls are consistently clearing the netting. Beyond the safety concerns, the course conditions have gone downhill badly compared to when I played about a year ago. The greens were extremely rough and bumpy, putting felt more like putting on cement than on maintained greens. The layout also feels overly cramped and tightly packed, which only adds to the safety concerns throughout the course. To top it off, my golf cart died before I could even finish the round. Overall the experience felt poorly maintained, overcrowded, and unsafe, which is disappointing because the course used to be in much better shape.

I recently started my golf journey and Ric's name came up in my google search for golf instructors…read morein the Los Angeles area and I'm so glad it did. I had very limited experience with previous coaches and never felt anything really "clicking" until my first lesson with Ric. From our first lesson he was able to pinpoint one thing I was doing wrong and gave me specific "feels" that I should be having in my swing to get great ball contact and stop my slices. His teachings had me prioritize specific portions of my swing to see immediate feedback instead of trying to overwhelm me with too many things and trying to force me to have the "perfect" swing. He understands everyone should have their own swing that's tailored for their specific strengths, weaknesses, and physical limitations and works around them to build movements that are comfortable and repeatable. He has experience teaching players of all ages and skill levels and you can tell he has a true passion for the sport and imparting his wisdom to others. His patience and personable manner have always made our lessons fun and enjoyable. I highly recommend anyone in their golf journey to reach out to Ric to get some lessons and see what he can do for you.

I believe he only prefer to teach golfer who are committed to long term. Not for single lesson. I…read morestill have one lesson left that I already paid for but he doesn't even remember who I am when I call him. He might have all the credentials but he's not for me.

When I first arrived early to my first lesson, I got a glimpse of him teaching a 5 year old kid who had an awesome golf swing already. He was encouraging and incredibly patient with the kid. When it was my turn he immediately diagnosed my swing problems and gave me helpful tips and drills to work on at home. Every week I now look forward to spending an hour with him dialing in my golf game. I highly recommend Coach Keith to golfers of all skill levels and ages.

I've taken many lessons from many people and they tell me different things to focus on, whereas from my lessons with Keith it's only the same few things despite different days.
