Dan has been great! I just shot my personal best round after one visit with him and some much needed tweaking of my driver swing. He combines analytics and common sense to create an awesome session. I highly recommend!

Dan is a great instructor. I have visit ed him several times. He uses Trackman and data, but also works directly with you to fine tune the swing and understand yours goals. I definitely recommend Lock!

Absolutely fantastic experience! As a complete beginner who had never even held a golf club, I was a bit intimidated, but Dan changed everything. Dan is incredibly patient and knowledgeable. He has a knack for breaking down complex techniques into easy-to-understand steps. I went from zero to hero and I'm genuinely excited to play now. Highly recommend for anyone looking to truly learn and love the game! Thank you so much!

Did a semi private lesson with a buddy. Incredible progress, will go back a couple times in the next few weeks to lock in. I’m a lifetime slicer who in one session learned to draw the ball!! Dan was great to work with.

I highly recommend Coach Dan. I started golf a few years ago with individual lessons with Dan. Since then, I have participated in two Get Golf Ready sessions and a Friday night Women’s golf session. I love the reviews and learn something new every time. The instruction and guidance from Dan and his staff are exceptional and he makes sure we have fun with the game. Now to practice and play!!!

Dan is an excellent coach. He helped me fix my slice. We worked on my irons and he really understood my needs and helped me get better swing and I could hit almost with perfection.

Dan is the best. He was able to help me, in just one clinic, fix my weaknesses and prepare me for the upcoming golf season. He was so much fun and a great instructor. I will definitely be back for more lessons!

I am so glad my husband and I chose to take lessons this year. Dan Lock is a great teacher. He explains the how and why of the swing. The practice are helpful ways to retain and improve on the skills. Looking forward to an improved experience on the e course this season!

Dan is great. I was reluctant to take lessons because I didn't want to start over. Dan analyzes what you're good at and shows you some areas you could improve with your existing swing in style. I noticed immediate improvement on the course.

Dan is pronominal to work with. He’s very talented in analyzing your swing and teaching you ways to improve. I’ve really enjoyed his insight and use of video for a visual of what to work on.

Excellent golf instructor. I was struggling with distance using my driver. A few adjustments and some practice was all it took. Very pleased with the results. Highly recommend Dan.

Great coach. I was struggling with a weird issue in my swing. He had it resolved in 20 minutes. He was awesome at listening to what i was feeling and trying to do. And then does a great job of explaining with track man and with video what i was doing wrong. He also highlighted what i do well, and got me back on track with great drills to take home, and things to look for when videoing myself at home. 5 stars, would highly recommend to anyone simply looking to improve or fix an issue with the swing.

Just had a great lesson with Dan. I’ve hit a mean slice since I started playing golf as a kid and within the first half hour of the lesson I was hitting high pretty draws. Dan utilizes the trackman data and video recordings to diagnose and demonstrate tweaks to your swing in a way that isn’t overwhelming. Looking forward to setting up another lesson.

Went to Dan last week for a lesson and it was worth every penny. I have always sliced my driver and he had that fixed in about 15 minutes. Would highly recommend Dan to anyone looking to improve their game.

Dan is an amazing golf instructor and is very passionate about the game. He has done a great job of analyzing my swing, giving me drills to correct issues and tweaking little details to get the exact results we're looking for. If something isn't working well, we scrap the idea and go with something better. Dan is respectful, understanding and flexible with scheduling. He's a fantastic instructor and will absolutely help your game!

Dan and Ethan are fantastic coaches! My husband and I both took away so much from these lessons, coming at it from two very different starting points. As a beginner, barely able to make regular contact with the ball, I now feel confident to join my husband for a leisurely round of 9 holes. Thank you Dan and Ethan for being patient, clear, and attentive. It really was so fun!!

10/10 recommend! Dan and Ethan are wonderful!
I signed up for the Get Golf Ready course which consists of five lessons teaching you all the essentials of golf. As someone who has never played golf with the exception of Putt-Putt (if that even counts), I can attest that this course was great. Dan and Ethan were great instructors that made everyone feel welcome, and made sure that everyone received coaching respective to their skill level. There was 10 people signed up for the course, and everyone was very friendly and it was a very laid-back environment. I'm really amazed at how much I learned in just a few lessons.
I highly recommend this to any other beginner golfers that are out there!
