    I am inclined to say 3.5 star review but can't give it a 4 so i'm rounding down to a 3…read more I went here for a full bag fitting to see if my equipment was the best for me, or to see where I could improve. I made an appointment for 10:30AM with Steve and drove the 1hr to get this fitting started. Fitting-I think we started 10 mins late as he was finishing up with another client. He did check up on me when i arrived and let me know we would be getting started soon. Friendly guy, asked what i was trying to accomplish and we started trying some things. I made the mistake of saying i wanted to try more players irons which ended up scratching all the game improvement irons. We tested a few combos and decided that my current set was best. Next we moved on to the Driver. We tried 3 different manufacturers and ended up with a Ping G430. We then checked out my 5w and also a 4H since I struggle to hit my long irons. We didn't mess with my 5w and ended up on a paradym 4H. The fitting itself was fine but i was disappointed because the site makes it seem like they'll show you video and tell you all these details which will help you make the best decision but instead it felt like a really dialed down experience. Hit stuff, check some number, move on. I never really got any big feedback, "spin is here with this club, we really want to bring this down" or just different shaft combinations, all the new heads etc. One of the main reasons I came here was because they advertise how they have all the latest from the biggest manufacturers but we only tried a couple. Maybe my swing is just not great or Maybe steve is just dialed in that trying other things just wasn't going to do much. Maybe it's up to me to ask that we try everything they have to offer? either way I wasn't mad about the fittings. Steve only charged me as if fitting driver, which I assume is because that's what we spent the most time on. Overall I'd say we spent 1 hour on the fitting and , while not fully satisfied, i was fine with it. Where my rating comes from is they buying of clubs and after. I ended up purchasing a callaway 4H and a Ping driver on 5/27. I understood that Monday was a holiday and Steve said it usually takes 2 weeks to get the clubs. I was hoping to get tracking since my clubs were going to ship to work. I emailed Steve a week after and no response. A few days later I called and he said that they normally don't do tracking but since i was in santa maria, he'd follow up and send it once he received it. 2 weeks rolled by and nothing, I e-mailed again and no response. Finally I emailed one more time asking if there had been a delay or if something was on backorder, and if it was to cancel the order because i could get the clubs locally. There was nothing custom except the grips. I understand the supply chain can be crazy right now but the lack of communication was unacceptable, in my opinion. It takes 2 mins to say "working on it no shipping yet" or something. Maybe my 2 clubs wasn't that important to care about? I finally got my driver on the same day, I had sent this last email, and packing slip said the club was ordered on 6/10. A few days later i received my hybrid and said 6/8 order date. Not sure what happened, if they were too busy and took a week to place the order or if the packing slips were wrong but the lack of communication was a deal breaker for me. I'm in sales myself and understand that work can get crazy but to be unresponsive for 2 weeks and just ignore e-mails is unacceptable. I'll be staying local with all my golf needs.

    GolfTEC is incredible at what they do which is providing you with excellent instructors and…read moreimmediate feedback to improve your swing as quickly as possible. I worked with Steve for the past four months to improve my distance to compete in long drive competitions. Steve listened to my goals and we started attacking it to get longer and longer drives. We have gotten my longest drive up to 389 yards on the Foresight. Steve has been an exceptional instructor and I highly recommend him. I have not worked with Trevor, but I have heard great things. Definitely try the swing eval if you are on the fence and then you can decide to get clubs fit or to buy a lesson package.

    Another beautiful morning for golf, 12 seasoned friends here to play the challenging La Purisima…read morecourse. Fully stocked pro shop in case you forgot anything, open snack bar will satisfy your appetite. Absolutely super weather no winds. Tee boxes were groomed and in good shape but no defined gold tees, we played from the whites. Fairways accepted your good drives, second shots were usually challenging and guarded by menacing eucalyptus and oak trees. Large deep bunker's protected the treacherous greens If your ball was above the pin, it most likely was going to roll off unless it found the bottom of the cup. They're were a few holes that were unplayable today because of the greens. Would like to see gold tees added to all the tee boxes, there's room. Beautiful course and surrounding grounds abundant wild life will be watching you. Bring on the gold and we'll back.

    It was a perfect golf experience. From the friendly and welcoming greeting we received in the golf…read moreshop to the ease and comfort of ordering breakfast in the snack shop. The driving range allows you to hit off grass, no mats. The practice facility has chipping areas and sand traps along with a large putting green. The course was in excellent condition. The fairways are lush like carpet and the fringe is very well manicured. Greens were fun, not too fast- not too slow. We saw deer on almost every hole on the back nine. We played in 4 hours and could have finished quicker if we played better. It's a tough track! But extremely fun! I look forward to playing it again in the future.
