I want to start this review with a high-level background of my "golfing profile" to provide readers…read moreof this review with additional context related to my experience with / perspective of Jim Hartnett. I started playing golf when I was 10 years old (now 39yo), learning the game from 3-4 different teaching professionals from the age of 10 - 17. I played competitively via junior golf and high school golf with a low index of 4.2, and currently am a weekend hacker carrying a 6.1 index. After my high school golf "career", I swore off teaching professionals because I found that the lessons I received conflicted with the golf swing my mind and body were searching for. I was lucky enough to stumble upon Jim Hartnett when signing up for a gym membership at the same facility that Jim gives golf lessons at. Prior to meeting Jim in-person, I thoroughly researched him online, and stumbled upon what I believe to be one of the best & most insightful golf books I've ever read--"Golf for the other 80%: The answer to why you can't improve". After reading his book from cover to cover, I knew I needed to see the application of his golf swing theories first hand, and subsequently had a one hour golf lesson with Jim. Simply put, Jim is a true maverick in the golf instruction space. His approach to golf instruction is completely different from the numerous golf lessons I've had in the past. Jim is incredibly knowledgeable about the golf swing and its associated mechanics, applies the latest and greatest golf swing technology into his lessons, and approaches teaching in a much more practical application manner vs theoretical / didactic manner, which I very much appreciated. After my first one hour lesson with Jim, my understanding of the golf swing had taken a quantum leap forward, and many of the golf swing mysteries I had been trying to solve for years were finally put into focus. The following quote from Mickey Mantle ultimately sums up what my experience with Jim Hartnett resulted in for me: "It's unbelievable how much you don't know about the game you've been playing all your life." Thanks Jim.

The facility is a really advanced facility for all aspects of your game. It's NOT just a simulator, there are cameras there that will show you clubhead path, impact, your swing, your body positioning, speed, rotation and a lot of other things I don't know on every swing. Randy's concepts are so simple I'm kicking myself for not going sooner. I'd go back and recommend to friends.

**FUN 9 HOLES IN LAGUNA**…read more PARKING Valet or guest parking available down the hill. Easy and convenient. AMBIANCE Beautiful views throughout the course, calm setting, friendly staff, and well-kept greens. GOLF Tee time was 10:22am, and we were welcomed right away. Check-in was smooth, we were given a cart, and paired with Marla and Trish, who have played this course for years and made the round even more enjoyable. Holes 4 and 5 were my favorites. There are some challenging shots, but overall it's very playable and beginner-friendly. I'm still learning and walked away with a few bogeys, which felt great. OVERALL I only recently started playing with my best friend, and this has quickly become one of my favorite courses. Great place to play, learn, and enjoy the scenery. I'll definitely be back and hope to make this a regular stop. Highly recommend.

I give this golf course a one-star review. I had a very disappointing experience this afternoon…read more I called ahead to confirm the walking rate for the 9-hole course and was quoted $60 per player. When I arrived to check in, I was suddenly told the rate was $110 per player for nine holes, almost double; and that's for a walking senior!!! I explained that I had been quoted a lower rate on the phone, but the staff member dismissed it, saying he "thought I was a resident of Laguna Beach or Dana Point." That's not my problem. If the course can't communicate their rates accurately, the customer shouldn't pay for their mistake. The course itself is an executive nine-hole layout with no ocean views; certainly not worth $110 for a walking round. It feels as though they're trying to price out everyday golfers and cater exclusively to the wealthy. I refused to play on principle and canceled. I could have paid the higher rate, but I won't reward that kind of bait-and-switch pricing. Golf should be accessible, and this experience left a sour taste. This is an overpriced course with inconsistent, and disappointing customer service.

We had a situation where our tee times needed to be rearranged, and I fully expected at least one person in our party to be annoyed about it. Somehow, Ron G at Shorecliffs pulled it off like it was nothing. He reshuffled everything and managed to keep every single person in our group happy -- which honestly might be harder than playing the course itself. What impressed me most was how smoothly he handled it. No stress, no confusion, no attitude. Just calm problem-solving and clear communication. It felt like he genuinely wanted everyone to have a great day, not just "fix the schedule." Shorecliffs is a beautiful place to play, but having someone like Ron behind the scenes makes the experience that much better. If you've ever tried coordinating tee times for a group, you know how big of a win that is. Appreciate you, Ron.

The swing evaluation is 15 minutes of looking at your swing and 45 minutes of selling you a lesson package. I wouldn't call it a swing evaluation. It's more of a sales pitch. It's not worth the $150 they charge for it. I should have read the reviews before deciding to try them out.
