I started lessons with Ian less than a year ago and he has completely transformed my game. I could…read morebarely swing a driver and had no real foundation -- in under 9 months, I broke 100 for the first time. The progress has been real. Ian has a sharp eye for mechanics and breaks everything down in a way that actually sticks -- starting from the ground up with grip, then building into swing path, ball position, and tempo. He gives you a clear roadmap and builds on it lesson by lesson. I practice a few times a week and take monthly lessons with him, and every session I walk away with something concrete to work on. What sets Ian apart is that he's not just technically excellent -- he's also a great communicator who's genuinely invested in his students' progress. You can tell he loves what he does. Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced golfer looking to sharpen your game, I can't recommend Ian enough. He's the real deal.

After a 10yr break, I decided to see Ian to rebuild my swing. At 56yrs old, not as lumber as I…read moreused to be. Purchased a 5-lesson pkge. Best decision I've made! Ian corrected my set up, take away, and downswing in a manner that was very understandable and relatable. I'm striking the ball much better now than I've ever had in the 25yrs of playing. My confidence level is much higher now. I've had several coaches in the past but no one has been impactful as Ian. I will see him again for tune ups in the future. Highly recommended!

I tried a couple of places for lessons. Then, I tried NorCal. In a short 3 months, my game is improving!! Lulu Huang is my instructor and she's top-notch! She's an expert, patient and professional which I appreciate. I highly recommend NorCal Golf Academy whether it be for extensive coaching or to improve your game. Thank you!

I have been playing golf 1.5 years before I maxed out at a 24hcp. That is when I went seeking out…read morethe best golf coach the bay area has to offer and decided to commit to Tom for 12 months (24 lessons). I am almost 4 months in (7 lessons total) and am currently sitting at a 18hcp. We joked that's about 1 stroke per lesson! Hopefully I can update down the line with my final numbers. I chose NCGA because of the tech. It's so much easier when you can work on something technical and see the improvements in the data. I am driving from San Francisco so you know it has to be worth it for the commute. So far so good!

Dave is amazing. A golf coach's effectiveness can only go as far as their ability to relate to the…read morepupil, and this is where Dave really shines. His method isn't rigid and doesn't command you to conform to a one-size-fits-all golf swing. He truly works with you where you're at and builds upon your swing from there. After five lessons, I've consistently taken 15-20 strokes off of my game. I may still be shooting in the low 90's and have quite a ways to go, but that's a far cry from taking numerous "snowmen" on par 4's and scoring in the 110's. Do yourself a favor and sign up for some private lessons with Dave and fall even more in love with the wonderful game of golf.

It's honestly taken away a lot of the anxiety I used to feel stepping onto the course. The studio layout is awesome, and the staff are always welcoming and helpful. The RangeX machines are a game changer, especially if you're working on swing mechanics or want instant feedback after every shot.

The space is very clean, and the Range X simulators give plenty of data. Daniel is a great instructor. I have seen improvement in my game since I started working with him.

When I started with Matt only 7 months ago, I was a brand new beginner. I had had a few lessons…read morefrom another outfit that were not very helpful for me. I called that other company's teaching approach Painting by Numbers because it wasn't cohesive and intuitive for me. Also, Matt gives full hour-long lessons versus the other company that only did half hour lessons which I found to be way too short so I ended up having a fractured and incomplete understanding of the golf swing. I'm over 60 years old and a slender woman. So I don't have bulk muscle for strength. Learning how to strike the ball correctly gives me the distance. Matt teaches with intuitive, cohesive instruction and shows (sometimes with props) as well as explains why certain aspects of the swing are important so that logically it all makes sense. He is such a gifted teacher to help all the details gel without my feeling its overly analytical. Proof of his teaching is I started out hitting my 7 iron 42 yards on the Trackman and am now hitting 122 yards dead straight. Also when I started out I didn't have the ball striking skills to play18 hole courses, only 9 hole courses. I recently scored 110, 112, and 114 on a par 72 course. When people learn I've only golfed for 10 months total, they can't believe it. When they ask who is my coach, I happily share about Matt being the best ever and why. Matt is confident that I will soon be breaking 100. I can't wait!

The lesson is located at Boulder Creek which i found was a private gold course right hidden in back next past Almaden Lake. I saw turkeys coming in and a coyote and deer on the way out. So awesome!! It was kind of a cold day, foggy, but was beautiful on the course and luckily warmed up throughout the lesson. U can park then make ur way to the range which is the walk way in front of parking lots. Sean is so nice and friendly and makes u feel great even when the ball goes awry. He helped me correct my swing so I'm rotating and using my whole torso/body instead of just my arms. Also my stance and grip. This was my first lesson and we already saw improvement in how far the ball was hit! I would def recommend Sean and will be back for more lessons!!

He asked me questions and explained the how and why of what he was asking me to do so that I could reproduce it when practicing. He then went on to show me a series of drills that I can use at home to improve my short game pitching and chipping. He is a patient and excellent golf instructor and I would not hesitate to recommend him for lessons.
