Comparison Table
1. Joshua Duvdivani
If you're hitting it fine on the range but bleeding strokes on the course, Joshua Duvdivani is worth a look. His lessons go beyond swing mechanics into course management and shot selection, the kind of work that actually moves your score.
A former college golfer still carrying a single-digit handicap, Joshua leads all Miami-area coaches on TeachMe.To with 473 completed lessons and 146 reviews at a 4.9 rating. Nobody else on the platform in this market is close.
Three venues spread across Broward County (Aqua Golf Driving Range, Broward Golf Center, and Pompano Beach Golf Club) make him accessible to golfers north of downtown Miami without the I-95 commute into the city.
Price: $130/lesson
Venues: Aqua Golf Driving Range, Broward Golf Center, Pompano Beach Golf Club

2. Gabriel Bello
Twenty-two years in the game, six of them dedicated to coaching, and a resume that includes assistant pro stints at both Trump National Doral and La Gorce Country Club. Gabriel Bello has taught alongside U.S. Presidents, senators, professional athletes, and celebrity CEOs at two of the most prominent private clubs in Miami-Dade County.
His 233 completed lessons on TeachMe.To carry a perfect 5.0 rating across 79 reviews. At $142 per session, you're getting someone with elite-club experience at a public-lesson price.
Price: $142/lesson
Venues: The Tips Golf, Granada Golf Course, Miami Springs Golf & Country Club

3. Jamal Mathurin
One swing thought, not five. That's the core of Jamal Mathurin's teaching philosophy: strip away the mental clutter that causes golfers to freeze over the ball, and replace it with something simple enough to actually use on the course.
Club Champion, Trackman Certified, and a mini-tour competitor with 8+ years of daily play, Jamal still grinds on his own game. He's not coaching from memory. That approach has produced 190 completed lessons with a 4.9 rating across 84 reviews.
His venues overlap with Gabriel Bello's at The Tips Golf and Miami Springs, so golfers in that corridor have two strong options at the same $142 price point.
Price: $142/lesson
Venues: The Tips Golf, Miami Springs Golf & Country Club, Granada Golf Course

4. Russell Seifter
The most affordable golf coach in Miami on this list at $71 per lesson, and it's not even close. Russell Seifter's credentials justify a much higher rate: USGTF certified, First Tee Certified, 30 years of experience including 10+ years teaching at The Country Club of Miami, and an 8 handicap.
Short game is his wheelhouse. If you're losing strokes around the green (and statistically, most recreational golfers are), focused work on chipping, pitching, and putting can produce noticeable results in two or three sessions. He's completed 159 lessons on TeachMe.To with a 4.9 rating across 31 reviews.
Venues in Pembroke Pines and Weston put him squarely on the western side of Broward County. Good fit if fighting I-95 traffic for a lesson isn't your idea of a warm-up.
Price: $71/lesson
Venues: Grand Palms Golf & Country Club, Cooper Colony Golf Course, Bonaventure Golf Club

5. Aldana Foigel
Eight years representing Argentina on the national golf team, then four years of collegiate golf at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale. That's international competitive experience most Miami golf instructors simply don't have on their resume.
She's bilingual in English and Spanish, which is a real practical advantage in Miami where a large share of the golfing population is more comfortable communicating in Spanish. Her 155 completed lessons carry a perfect 5.0 rating across 43 reviews at $99 per session.
Price: $99/lesson
Venues: Aqua Golf Driving Range, Cooper Colony Golf Course, Orangebrook Golf & Country Club

6. Garry Grissom
Garry Grissom has played rounds on many of the world's top-ranked courses and met Nicklaus, Palmer, and Gary Player along the way. Forty years of amateur tournament play will do that. So will training stints at the Faldo Golf School, Milo Lines Academy, and Dave Pelz short game schools.
He pulls from all of it when he coaches, mixing multiple schools of thought rather than locking into a single method. 123 lessons, a perfect 5.0 rating across 81 reviews, $85 per session.
His venues (Drive Shack West Palm Beach and Village Golf Club) sit further north. If you're in Palm Beach County, he's the strongest option on this list without driving south.
Price: $85/lesson
Venues: Drive Shack West Palm Beach, Village Golf Club

7. Barbara Roca
She picked up a club at age 8, competed in junior championships across South America, and went on to play college golf. Barbara Roca is USGTF-certified with 105 completed lessons and a perfect 5.0 rating across 28 reviews on TeachMe.To.
At $101 per lesson, she sits in the middle of this list's price range. Worth noting: her venues at The Tips Golf, Granada Golf Course, and Birdie Golf Studios cover both outdoor and indoor practice environments. During Miami's summer rain season, when afternoon storms can kill an outdoor session by 3 PM, having an indoor option matters.
Price: $101/lesson
Venues: The Tips Golf, Granada Golf Course, Birdie Golf Studios

8. Joaquin Trigueros
The most expensive coach on this list at $213 per lesson. The price tracks with where he works: Joaquin Trigueros is an Assistant Pro at Trump National Doral, one of Miami's highest-profile golf facilities.
He's been immersed in the game since age 2, played in college, and turned professional after completing his collegiate career. His certifications run deep: PGA Associate program, US KIDS Golf certification (Level 1 and Level 2), and PGA Hope certified for working with veterans. He's completed 98 lessons with a perfect 5.0 rating across 23 reviews.
If you want a lesson at a premier Miami club without holding a full membership, Joaquin books through TeachMe.To at Trump National Doral.
Price: $213/lesson
Venues: The Tips Golf, Trump National Doral

9. Frank Russo
Data-driven instruction, not guesswork. Frank Russo pairs 20+ years of coaching experience and a college golf background with a GC Quad launch monitor, one of the most advanced in the industry. That means precise numbers on clubhead speed, ball spin, launch angle, and face-to-path during every session.
95 completed lessons, a perfect 5.0 rating across 39 reviews, $128 per lesson. A strong fit for golfers who want hard data behind their swing changes rather than feel-based instruction alone.
Price: $128/lesson
Venues: Swing Back VGolf, The Park, Cooper Colony Golf Course

10. John Wightman
A decade of teaching experience backed by a competitive playing career that includes a Regional Championship and time on the mini-tour circuit. John Wightman's firsthand tournament experience shows up in his coaching, particularly around execution under pressure.
He's completed 85 lessons on TeachMe.To with a perfect 5.0 rating across 23 reviews. His venue list is worth a closer look: The Biltmore Golf Course in Coral Gables and Miami Beach Golf Club are two of the most iconic public-access courses in Miami. Paul S. Walker Urbanscape offers an urban practice option for golfers who want a quick session without driving to a full course.
Price: $113/lesson
Venues: Paul S. Walker Urbanscape, The Biltmore Golf Course, Miami Beach Golf Club
