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.

This has given me the ability to take clients out & confidently golf with my dad and son which is a bonding experience I'm so grateful to have. I've tried other golf instructors but it just didn't click like it does with Coach. He breaks it down in simple ways/terms & makes it easy and fun. Thanks Coach Kyle, I'll see you tomorrow for our playing round! I highly suggest giving Coach a chance & watch your game get better Best, Vinny

I met Kyle when we were in the same foursome. He quickly recognized I was a terrible golfer and he…read moregave me free advice/tips which helped. At the end of the round I thanked him for his suggestions and told him he should coach. He explained that he did coach and I started lessons and playing rounds with him very soon thereafter. Kyle is an exceptional coach who has been very patient with me in terms of helping me break bad habits in all aspects of the game. I've been working with him for 3 years now and my game has improved significantly. Kyle's focus on balance and proper hip rotation has greatly improved my swing. I couldn't hit out of the traps or chip worth a crap and I've become decent at both. I'd suggest that you both take lessons and play rounds with him if possible as he provides great practical tips and reads greens better than anyone I've played with. In addition to being a great coach, Kyle is a really good and fun guy. I highly recommend Coach Kyle; particularly if you're a beginner and/or have bad habits like I did.

It's a nice little executive course, buried in Suburban Lake Forest…read more For me, if I want a quick round of golf, this is one of my 3 choices - the other 2 being Rancho San Whackin' front 9 or back 9. Having grown up in the Coachella Valley, I'm used to biiig golf courses, so the idea of an executive course was kind of quaint to me. Having played here, I enjoy it. The driving range is decent - double decked with a side area for those that like to hit off grass. The matts and tees for the matted side are good. The Pro Shop is small and well organized. Drink prices are good. Parking is easy, the putting green is clean and well kept. The chipping range is a little down trodden, but it's a chipping range - what do you expect. In short, it's a nice place to play a quick round and just get back into the groove if you haven't played in a while.

Great practice facility with a driving range, 9-hole executive course, pro shop and restaurant…read more Driving range offers mats or grass for practicing. Large putting greens and short game practice area is also nice. The 9 hole courses is one of the more challenging 9 hole courses with water coming into play on 3 of the holes. It is a fun course and plays fast. Easy to squeeze in during a longer lunch. Overall I enjoyed this facility and would definately come back.

I had two instructors in the past at a local muni. I took quite a few lessons but absolutely no…read moreprogress. The ONLY thing worked on was my plane. I decided to take a lesson with Roy, and since my name is also Roy I thought it might be a good omen. McQuiag had me hit a few balls and within five hits he saw a lot of fundamental problems with my grip ALONE. He explained how my grip was effecting my anatomy and thus swing. It was awkward at first but after some clean ones it started to fall into place. Roy's diagnosis was so good I was upset that I'd spent the previous year with instructors who just phoned it in. Roy has integrity and will help you understand what you need to work on that is specific to you. He cares about the people he comes into contact with and it shows. I've since made a commitment to Roy as my instructor moving forward. You should too.

I want to start out saying how extremely professional Roy was in setting up the lesson, during the…read morelesson, and afterwards. His lessons are well structured and I felt I was making better contact with the ball with every point Roy taught. I will be going back for my next lesson and I highly recommend Roy as anyone's golf instructor!

Recently I had the chance to take golf lessons from Seiko. I've noticed the difference after the first lesson with her. I am able to hit the ball much farther than before and with much more confidence than ever. Seiko is a wonderful person, down to earth and very patient with her students. She takes her time with her students explaining the different aspects of the game to you. Seiko teaches out of the South Orange County area, the beautiful Arroyo Trabuco Golf Course. Whether if you live in the area, have to travel from a different county, or even have drive an hour or more to come see her, she is well worth it. You will not be disappointed! Thank you for everything Seiko! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Seiko-Onoue-PGA-Golf-Instruction/194272743983294
