Best 39 coaches for Golf lessons near Apache Junction, AZ

My golfing experience began when I was 12 years old and my aunt introduced me to the game by taking me to a local par 3 course. I was immediately hooked and played off and on through school until I joined the Navy when I was 19. I played sparingly while I was in the service, but really took it to another level when I was discharged from the Navy and began to play collegiately for National University. I played all throughout my 3 years of college until I graduated in 2015 and then took my chances as a touring professional for about 3 years on the Golden State Tour in Southern California. I’ve been teaching and coaching the game of golf off and on since 2015, but full time since September of 2022.

"Excellent instruction

I cover all range fees. With over 25 years of playing experience, I started coaching in 2023 as a hobby which quickly turned into a passion. I enjoy helping my students understand their individual, natural swing tendencies and expected result so they can step into every shot with confidence. Improving full swing ball striking, consistency, and confidence has been the focus area for many of my students before we tackle short game, putting, the mental game, on-course strategy, and how to shape shots. Golf can be difficult but it does not need to be mysterious!

"Whether you are brand new to golf, someone who is actively looking to lower your handicap, or maybe someone who is stuck in a rut mentally, Heath will meet you where you’re at. He’s got a knack for identifying solutions, and communicating effectively no matter who he’s working with. Heath helped me go from a 20+ handicap down to a 12. A few months ago, I hit a mental hurdle and had two of the worst rounds Ive had in years. Thinking I forgot how to play, I reached out to Heath for advice. Not only did he give me some sound advice/drills to focus on when at the range, but he helped me restore confidence in myself for the next time I hit the course. I came out the next round and bounced back with a low 80’s score at one of the hardest courses I’ve ever played. This is what Heath does. He’s married to the game of golf and he’s a natural when it comes to coaching it. If you live in Arizona and you’re looking for lessons, I couldn’t recommend Heath highly enough.

I have been playing golf all my life, beginning with the First Tee program, which taught me that golf is more than a sport—it's a way to carry yourself, conduct business, and much more.

I have competed at many levels, including SCPGA, AJGA, mini tours like the Pepsi Tour, and college golf, experiencing the game in various settings. Golf has taken me all over, and I love helping others discover and enjoy the sport.

"I’ve taken over 100 golf lessons with the same instructor, starting from the days I could barely make solid contact. Back then, my goal was simple—just keep the ball in play. Fast forward to today, and I’m shooting consistently in the mid-80s. That transformation didn’t happen by accident. My instructor is the kind of teacher you almost don’t want to tell the world about—because once people find out, his schedule will be impossible to get on. He has a rare gift for breaking down complex mechanics into simple, feel-based cues that actually stick. He doesn’t just teach the swing—he teaches you how to play the game, manage the course, and think like a better golfer. In my opinion, he’s a diamond in the rough, and absolutely deserves to be recognized among the elite instructors in the game today.
