HIGHLY Recommend Mike Simmons!…read more I held back on reviewing and waited until I was good amount of lessons in to give a thorough review. But cutting to the chase: Get lessons with the guy! You won't regret it! The long version: My father + I have been golfing together since I was super young. (He secretly hoped for me to be the next Michelle Wie, pfft) But it was always casual and my father has always been my "coach". Fast forward to now, after a longggg hiatus I'm now in my late twenties and about to move to the Carolinas where there is a myriad of golf courses (like Florida). I really wanted to be more than just "decent" or "okay" and hold my own out there. Lets just say that I wanted to graduate from schooling everyone at Mini Golf and get ready for the Big Leagues ;D That's where Mike Simmons comes in. My father found Mike and we immediately set lessons together as a Father-Daughter activity together before I move away. We bought a package from Mike that includes 6 Lessons and round of Golf on the course. Despite having some experience and my father being his own self proclaimed guru (with clubs straight from 1970s and never updated, mind you) Mike is able to break down the fundamentals of the game in a very thorough and concrete way. (And convinced my father to update his clubs! haha) Our lessons consisted of learning all aspects of the game. History, foundation, long range, short game. And all the little details in between from your stance, how to properly how the club, lining your shot. Nothing is missed. At times it may seem like information overload but once you hit that sweet shot you'll have that "Ah-ha!" moment that only Mike could provide. If I wasn't leaving in a couple of months I would definitely get more lessons from him. A++

He managed to fix a slice that I've had since I was 14 (35 now) and my drives went from 125-150yrds to 200+. I was completely surprised that I had this much of an improvement within the first 15 minutes. I've been struggling to find the reason why I was slicing and he told me exactly what it was and how to do it the right way, not just counter the slice. My previous lessons with other instructors were focused on keeping my swing but adapting it to the slice. With Larry he showed me the right way my hands and wrists should be moving. I highly recommend Larry. No matter what your skill level. 45 years of experience makes a difference.

There's a miniature golf course if you want to try that out. It's all lots of fun, and you'll probably catch me at this establishment. They rent out clubs, gear and baseball bats if needed.

So much potential but theyre letting the batting cages wither away. My only thought is theyre…read moreplanning to get rid of them and theyre just milking the final pennies. If they want to keep it operational theyre way overdue for a maintenance check. It doesnt need much, no major overhaul, but I bet theres 1 small thing wrong with each of them. The majority of the cages are taped off and inoperative, the ones that allow you to put coins in hardly work. One cage launches balls straight but jams up after 2 pitches. Another throws all over the place. I keep giving it another shot in hopes that I get them on a day theyre working but now they dont work well enough to come back. $14 for 6 tokens, I got about 8 pitches total out of 4 tokens between 2 cages. I left my other 2 tokens for someone with more patience than me. The staff is super friendly and im sure they wouldve given me a refund but it just wasnt worth my time. Imagine going to a restaurant for steak you know will be awful, knowing they'll happily refund you. Whats the point in even going? Would you go bowling knowing after 2 frames the machine would break, but you get a refund? Why go bowl there at all. So much potential here as its in a great park at a great location. Im willing go bet for under $5k they can have it up an operating fully that would last over a year without maintenance. Great staff, mostly clean place, if you try it and dont succeed you'll get your money back, but it won't be worth your time until they hire some qualified maintenance. Its a shame, but for now 1 star as its just a waste of time and money.

As a disclaimer, I had never touched a golf club or stepped onto a driving range. In essence, I am a total beginner, which was refreshing for both the instructor and me. It was not until recently, I realized Josiah Singletary, elite golf instructor, went above and beyond to ensure my time at Rick Smith's was more than pleasant. The golf center is a business partner of Trump Doral, therefore it is on the property. Josiah took me on a tour and went around the different ballrooms and conference centers. I attached the pictures I took while I was on the tour. Note that the pictures are before the event planners organize the rooms to give a better appreciation for the luxurious space available. Regardless of your political affiliation, it was very apparent that every aspect of the Trump Doral facilities and experience had not been forgotten, with the finest attention to detail present in every aspect of the resort. Josiah took the time to highlight certain aspects of the architecture that he thought was interesting. No politics; just golf, luxury, and relaxation. I appreciated Josiah's talent for time management because the transition from the tour to golfing lessons was seamless. He recommended the order of instructions: putting, chipping, and driving. I agreed and we started with putting. As a beginner, I was unaware of the intricacies at play, especially when Josiah utilized his equipment. In addition to the equipment, he understands that some students are visual learners so he would incorporate slow motion videography. It was immediately apparent that his advanced knowledge of the game enables a focused observation of your stroke. In my case, I had "micromovements" that once corrected, improved my game significantly. The clips I uploaded were among some of the videos that were recorded after his suggestions for body corrections. It is this positive reinforcement of the contact sounds between the balls and club that the sky is the limit with your own development. My personal tip is to ask about the x-factor, which will put you ahead of most beginners! Overall, I would give Josiah Singletary the highest compliments as an instructor. I recommend him and the Rick Smith's Golf Performance Center in the highest regard.
