John never responded to my emails. Except for the one where he gave his phone number (no other text…read moreor responses to my questions). He never returned my calls. I scheduled an appointment online and got a confirmation (and a reminder email). He never showed up, and the golf course mentioned that at least 4 other people had also been ghosted after paying and booking. Sounds like this is more recent - Nobody has been able to get in touch with him. I can't speak to his actual coaching (and hope he's okay). But sharing this because I would have known not to purchase if I had seen anything on yelp to warn me. I looked and all positive reviews. And goes without saying that I haven't received a refund.

I made a scheduling mistake for a golf swing assessment that was a meaningful gift from my father…read more I wrote the wrong date in my calendar -- a simple, human error. I thought I had double checked, but with some help from dyslexia, I misread the dates. I reached out, took responsibility, and asked if there was any possibility of flexibility, fully understanding that the policy might not allow it. The response I received from Kelly, Lisa's assistant (writing from Lisa's account) included: "I'm not sure why you felt the need to reach out a second time... I will not be communicating further regarding this matter." I respect policies. And my second email was, indeed Me requesting an honest exception to the policy. It was denied. That didn't surprise me. What surprised me was the tone, which felt unnecessarily dismissive for a first-time client sincerely trying to correct a mistake and build a long-term coaching relationship. A $295 loss for a simple scheduling error is significant, and I was hoping for a more understanding and human exchange. Others may have a different experience, and Lisa may be a strong instructor, but those who value supportive and empathetic communication may want to be aware of how scheduling matters are handled here.

I started lessons with Lisa as a total beginner -- I had literally never swung a golf club before…read more Golf isn't something that comes intuitively to me, but Lisa has been incredibly patient and structured in how she teaches. Every session builds logically on the last, and she's great at breaking things down in a way that makes sense and sticks. Her assistant Kelly has also been wonderful -- super responsive and helpful. I accidentally broke one of my irons (which Kelly had helped me purchase), and she went above and beyond to get it replaced by Srixon for free -- even though I had already thrown the broken club away! If you're new to golf or just want an instructor who's patient, detail-oriented, and genuinely cares about your progress, I highly recommend working with Lisa and her team.

He addressed my posture, grip, stance, swing path, alignment, and hip rotation which were all incorrect. I now have the confidence in my ball striking to really enjoy the game. His anecdotes and stories make the lesson more fun in between shots.

I can't recommend coach Abraham enough. He's incredibly patient, very knowledgeable, and genuinely…read morecares about helping you improve. Since working with him, my golf swing has improved significantly, and he has a great way of breaking things down so the game actually feels simple and approachable. He's down to earth, easy going, and makes every lesson feel relaxed rather than overwhelming. Overall, he makes learning golf an easygoing and enjoyable experience. If you're looking for a coach who knows the game and knows how to teach it, he's the one. He'll provide you with real time data by using his mobile device to capture your lesson. He also provides feedback via videos, photos, and example through his app. Thanks Abraham for giving me the confidence and support to get out on the golf course.

Yes, I experienced the same with Mitch not returning my message. It's because he's busy teaching. I sent him an email instead, and he promptly returned my phone call. Since then, you book your lessons online. Just take a look at his availability. Easy. Hubby and I spent an introductory hour with Mitch. We liked his style of coaching and his explanations made a lot of sense. We felt so comfortable with him that we signed up for 12 hours of semi-private lessons with him on the spot. We are still his students. Forget the text book techniques. Mitch can evaluate you and offer tips and help to improve your golf game for sure. I've told Mitch over and over that I can use a mini-Mitch when I'm on the course. He's the best. I didn't realize how good he was until I read his bio weeks into our lessons. I'm glad. His credentials are awesome! I think I woulda been way too intimidated.

There are a million different tips and tricks on how to improve your golf game on the internet…read more.. videos, step by steps etc, and I've tried em all. The thing is, none of these resources can watch your swing with an experienced eye like Mitch's. I considered myself an advanced amatuer, having only been playing for about a year, but was feeling like I had hit a plateau in my game. I bought a lesson 3 pack from Mitch and I feel that having completed 3 1 hour lessons with him my game is on track to improve significantly. Mitch has an easy going no attitude approach to helping you work on your game, and is very good at listening to you about the areas that you would like to improve and then focusing on those. Highly recommended for anyone looking to take their game up a notch, and their handicap down.

Wait you don't own a simulator at home? Well. you, me both. Dryvebox. *Hark! Sir! Guess whose back?* **THE RULER** *STOP LYIN!* Last week, me and my co-pilot needed a course to play. Obviously looking into the weather future we got bummed out super hard because it was forecasted to rain. Playing mill valley the day before we needed a follow up for Sunday. Hopped on the website late Saturday Night and booked our first session for 9am Sunday. Hungover and itchy, we gathered ourselves and showed up promptly at 9AM. Semi-excited and with half expectations, we waited. We waited. We waited in the rain. Dryvebox was a no show. Luckily Winston from Lincoln Golf Course was around to let us know dryvebox didn't show up today. What a freaking bummer. What a flapping disappointment. I contacted dryvebox via fb, email and voicemail. After leaving a voicemail, I got a call back in less than 30 seconds. Within 5 minutes we were already set up with a new tee time. Was my first experience with dryvebox perfect? No. But if you reach out to their customer service and be patient. They will make the situation right for you and your tee mates. I did sign up for a monthly subscription. Overall it was a positive experience that I'm comfortable recommending to other golfers. Thank you Adeel, Dylan, Winston and Elliot. Big shout out to Elliot.

In my experience, Perform for Golf is an ordinary gym, not a golf-specific training center…read more I was intrigued by P4G's marketing, which promoted elite golf trainers, simulator access, and mental performance coaching. After a pre-call with the owner to discuss my golf goals, I signed up for the monthly subscription. Upon my first visit, I was surprised to learn that my trainer doesn't play golf and doesn't have extensive experience training golfers, but rather specializes in post-natal training for new mothers. The onboarding email told me to bring a 7-iron to my session for swing analysis, but I was informed onsite that I wouldn't need it, as they don't do swing assessments at the Hayes Valley location (maybe they do at other locations). My assessment used none of the technology showcased in this video: https://www.performforgolf.com/how-it-works and had nothing golf-specific. Just some basic stretches and ordinary dumbbell exercises. Aside from the golf branding, the only aspect of the gym that appeared tailored to golf was access to the Titleist TPI mobile app. They highlight that their trainers are TPI certified; however, in researching the program, it appears one can get certified with only ~10 hours of self-paced videos. Hardly the level of elite golf experience that the website testimonials from professional golfers led me to believe. The facility is an ordinary gym. A few mats, racks of free weights, benches, etc. Serviceable, but standard. They do have golf simulators, which members have access to although I didn't have the chance to see one. I had to purchase a package of personal training sessions up front before my initial assessment. My unused sessions were not refunded after my first visit didn't live up to expectations. If you want an ordinary gym with personal training and its locations are convenient, Perform for Golf may be a great option for you. If you're serious about golf and looking for a golf-specific training center, this product falls short of the company's marketing.

Unfortunately, my experience has been very disappointing…read more I cancelled my membership in January 2025, but the gym continued charging me monthly for several months afterward. When I eventually noticed and contacted them, management confirmed they had received my cancellation and admitted the charges were a mistake. I was promised a refund and later agreed to receive it in monthly installments after being told that was the only way they could process it. The first refund was supposed to be issued in mid-January, but it never came through. I followed up by email and phone, and I've received no response. Mistakes happen, but the lack of accountability, missed commitments, and silence afterward are what really concern me. I would recommend being very cautious and keeping detailed records if you choose to do business here.

I'm at the very beginning of my golf journey and I've been trying to self-teach myself golf for…read moreabout 2 months now. The problem with this is that I can't necessarily watch myself swing and see what I'm doing wrong. Even if I recorded myself swinging, I wouldn't really know what to look for. I was getting tired of just going to the driving range and just hitting balls with no improvement. That's when I found Urban Fairway Golf. I wanted to get more info on my swing and thought seeing all the stats and numbers would help me out a little more. Khine was gracious enough to help me and my 2 friends with tips and pointers without any judgment! The information he gave us was very helpful and invaluable and he was patient and kind the entire time while dealing with us 3 golf newbies. We had a great time and we all left a little more confident in our swing because of Khine. This place is a hidden gem in South City and we'll definitely be returning. Thank you Khine!

Housekeeping: 5 stars! Professional and super hard working. (As other reviewers have said.)…read more Equipment and fitness floor: 2.75 stars: they have a few interesting machines, but they don't have enough of the more popular standard ones. There is one of each of the weight machines so the wait times can be pretty long any part of the day. They could repurpose some of the open mat area, which is unnecessarily large in comparison to the area dedicated to the machines. Group fitness classes: 3.5 stars: they have a lot of good classes. There is not enough variety, as other reviews noted. I remember when they had tons of Pilates mat classes. Now they focus mostly on Zumba, which is wonderful...we need more strength training (like Pilates or such). Spa and pool facilities: 2.5 stars. The women's locker room is well maintained, and is the main reason why we continue to choose this gym. They recently installed some very temperamental locks in the women's locker rooms, and the numbers on the locks are super small to read...seems like an ADA issue; As it is, the housekeeping staff needs to help with lock-outs all day. (And they still keep the place sparkling clean! Hence five stars in the first category above.) The women's steam room is offline chronically due to repair issues. And so women who use the pool need to walk, dripping with cold pool water, through a lounge/lobby area while the steam room is under construction. These conditions have been true for over two months now. And there is no good timeline for when the steam room and direct access to the pool area will be restored. The steam room was under construction in 2025, too. Security team is incredible. Bottom line: if housekeeping and security could run the whole place, this would be a five-star review; If you need to get through your workout efficiently, and don't want to wait in line for a shoulder press or leg press, maybe check another gym with more than one of each type of machine. If you want daily cardio-type fitness classes, and don't need machines or weight lifting work, this gym is a good option. Just don't bring a bag that you need to stow in a locker to avoid the hassle of getting locked out! (Bags of any kind are prohibited on the gym floor.) We have been members for a long time, and so we have a reasonable rate. I would not pay the current prices, however, as it feels like too much for what they currently offer. Hope this helps you decide on the best gym for your needs!
