“Completed two lessons so far with Coach Craig. Absolutely fantastic! Large breadth of knowledge adjusts lesson to skill level as the lesson progresses. Able to focus on one or two things at a time and keep it very simple with immediate feedback. Even offered some practice strategies for when I was practicing on my off-lesson days. We've worked on short irons and chipping so far and can confidently say my swing is more consistent and am more excited to practice knowing I have a plan going into it. Highly recommend! ”

Craig is the bomb! Super energetic and gets excited when I do something right and extremely talented at explaining helpful adjustments in ways I can visualize and apply to my movements and mechanics. I’m very visual and he paints the instructions with descriptive language I can understand. Wish I could give him more stars! I will be staying with him until I can kick my brother’s butt on the green:)

Craig is a great golf coach—patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. He takes the time to explain not only the techniques but also the strategies and mindsets that are essential on the course. His teaching style builds confidence and makes learning both effective and enjoyable. I highly recommend Craig to any beginner looking to develop a strong foundation in golf.

I loved Craig’s patient approach and helpful tips throughout the lesson. His calm guidance made it easy to focus on improving my game step by step. If you’re looking for clear, supportive instruction, Craig’s lessons are definitely worth trying. You’ll enjoy learning at your own pace and gaining confidence on the course. Give it a go! ⛳🙂

Craig is friendly and a great communicator. Things that I've been told before that never made sense immediately clicked when Craig explained the what and the why. Shortly into the lesson, he tweaked some of my mechanics and had me hitting some really good iron shots. Ball flight was straighter and further than they've ever been.
