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.

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!

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.

The driving range was pretty unique as it was hitting uphill. Although, the ball dispenser was a bit weird as I tried to buy a large bucket and it kept giving me small. The mats were nice considering it was outdoors and it also had rubber tees. The pro shop was nice and clean with a ton of clubs and merch to check out. Bought the obligatory souvenir ball. The pro shop guy was very nice and welcoming. The course itself was worth the drive. Great fairways all around. The roughs were in good shape too. The greens were superb. A bit fast since we did play in the afternoon but good for a challenge. Great views and hills to get good pictures for if you're like me and love photography. Ill be bringing my camera next time. The golf carts were good too and maintained. I wish they had the monitor gps but regardless it worked just fine. Would of gave the last star had there only been a beverage cart making rounds and the restaurant being open a bit longer since we weren't able to order any food.

Its first come, so pick your lane, grab a chair and hit some balls. They have drinks and food that you can order while you're playing, or you can opt for a table after you're done.

She is a consummate professional, good sense of humor, very supportive, has good coaching tools and will work with your swing. No ego. Just fun golf talk and a kind person. The other coach...a guy at Blue Rocks is pretty cocky, walking around like he's cool... nah he's not.... he just starts to set up all his stuff for his class, as you and others are putting, yells for people to move and then when I asked what he was doing, he brings out his "pro" card or employee badge or whatever. Apparantly means, he owns the place. Anyways. Do not go for that guy. Rebekka is the Wo'man' for the job. She works w your swing and gives good practical tips to improve. She films your swing and sends it to you, I have spent many hours looking at my swing and playing back her words of wisdom and it has given me lots of helpful tips and you are able to work on them, on your own. She has a set rate and also a package rate that save you $$ (I got the package rate of 6 classes) She is awesome and soon will get booked up. So, give her a call ASAP. See pics of where we practice.
