These coaches teach at top ranked spots and have great lesson fulfillment & student reviews.
I have been playing golf for 20 years and have been teaching for 5 years. I Enjoy getting people to learn new skills, especially if it is a skill they are struggling with. My proudest golf achievement has been shooting a 71 at Poppy Hills. My favorite golf course is Torrey Pines. When I am not teaching or playing golf, I enjoy spending time with my family, hiking, and playing the drums.
"Focused on mechanics to work on.
I’ve been golfing for over 30 years and as I grew older I’ve learned to maximize what I have. I’m 5’6” and though I consider myself an athlete, I do believe a good swing can be achieved by good fundamentals and what I call positioning. By ingraining certain aspects of a swing, we can continue to improve by doing. I’m just a low-handicap golfer who want to teach average golfers good fundamentals as a takeaway, so you can start to improve on your own. I’m not a teaching professional, but I was a design instructor at an art school for over 17 years, I hope I can make improving your golf game fun.
"Very solid lesson! Walked away feeling like a golfer. Highly recommend
Save ~$10-15 per lesson with me by not having to purchase golf balls at the range! Hi there, I'm Blaise! A seasoned golfer carrying a scratch handicap, and a tech entrepreneur by profession. My lifelong affair with the game has not only allowed me to master the nuances of golf but also share my knowledge with budding golfers. Over the years, I've honed my teaching skills having given well over 5,000 detailed lessons. My approach to teaching golf revolves around nailing the basics first, and then progressively moving onto the more intricate details of the game that fit your natural swing. As a former multi-sport athlete, I like to find a students natural athleticism and teach a swing that revolves around what works best for the student. Golf is hard to learn on your own. Many aspects of the game are counterintuitive and often times up means down, right means left...etc. I'll help you skip years of frustration trying to learn these concepts, and get you hitting the ball better than you thought possible. So, let's get started on this exciting journey, gradually improving your game from the fundamentals to the finer strokes, while having a blast. I teach out of a private golf simulator in Redwood City. If you're not familiar with a simulator, it's high end technology that captures every metric of both the ball and club. In my opinion, the golf simulator is the best way to work on your golf swing because you get so much more data than just hitting balls at the range. The simulator also includes a high speed camera that shows the club hitting the ball frame by frame. But mostly, it's just really cool and a lot of fun!
"Blaise  is super helpful  and I like his concept. Great first lesson.
I am a highly skilled and certified professional specializing in the game of golf, and I am on the National Registry of Professional Golf Instructors. As an expert in my field, I am dedicated to helping players develop their game with a focus on comfortability, consistency, confidence, and contact. My teaching approach is tailored to each individual player's unique needs and goals, ensuring that they receive personalized attention throughout the learning process. With a passion for the sport and a commitment to excellence, I strive to bring out the best in my students and help them achieve their full potential on and off the course. Most recently I became the League Director for The Junior Tour powered by Under Armour. This is a sanctioned league nationwide for children ages 6-18.
"Marc gave me a systematic way to gauge my setup and helped me add the consistency I’m looking for. Looking forward to more lessons with him.
Golf should feel enjoyable, rewarding, and easier to understand. With 25+ years of California mini-tour competition and coaching experience, I help golfers build confidence and lower scores through clear, repeatable fundamentals. I coach all skill levels, from beginners to competitive players, with a focus on solid contact, short-game scoring, and swing mechanics that hold up under pressure. My coaching style is structured, personalized, and easy to follow, turning complex concepts into simple feels and actionable steps players can trust on the course. My goal is to help golfers play with more confidence, clarity, and enjoyment.
"He was very patient and knowledgeable.
**GREAT STUDENTS MAKE GREAT COACHES** For the past 20 years, I have been coaching and instructing many of the top golfers in Solano County. I firmly believe that "great players make great coaches." Here are some of my esteemed references: Aaron Beverly: Aaron has competed on the PGA, APGA, and Canadian Tours. During his time at Sac State, he broke numerous records and has won on the APGA Tour. He holds several course records, including a 59 at Rancho Murieta. Easton Hether: Class of 2026 at Cal State East Bay, Easton has already secured first-place finishes in tournaments and was named the 2023 Conference Freshman of the Year; 2025 CSEB Athlete of the Year; 2026 Career Athlete Award Anthony Del Dotto: A Class A PGA Professional and graduate of PGA/PGM New Mexico State, where he was a Jones Cup Champion. Mark Mills: Operations Manager at Jelly Belly. Mark improved from shooting over 100 to breaking 90 in just months through dedication to my 'Five Keys Method.' Although I now coach part-time, I have spent the past 20 years coaching and instructing for The City of Fairfield, Holy Spirit Middle School, and most recently, the Vacaville High Bulldogs. More than 10 of my students have gone on to play at the college level. But one of my proudest accomplishments is every junior player I have coached that went on to play in high school made their varsity squad as freshmen. Throughout these two decades, I have developed "The Five Keys" method of rapid learning. While I have specialized in instructing juniors with aspirations to play at the highest level, this method is designed for players who cannot dedicate hours each day to practice. The Five Keys Method focuses on accelerating progress without requiring extensive practice time. The Five Keys has consistently proven its effectiveness over the years, and I take great satisfaction in helping golfers achieve their personal goals, whatever they may be.
"Getting a lesson with Thomas was quite helpful. The information he shared really clarified some swing mechanics for me, which I hadn't fully understood before. Though I still need to work on steadying my stroke, I’m hopeful I can improve further with a bit more practice. If you're considering it, I’d say, why not try a lesson like this?
With two decades of golf instruction experience, I leverage my NCAA athletic background to cultivate well-rounded players. My passion lies in fostering skill development through tailored coaching, helping students unlock their full potential. Let's elevate your game together.
"Baseball background, had a real hard time avoiding my slice. A couple lessons with Dawson later and him fitting my driver properly and I was gaining 20 yards and hitting fairways. Changed my game for the better.
Unlocking your full potential on the golf course is my passion! I've dedicated my coaching career to helping golfers of all levels improve their game, building confidence and fostering a love for the sport.
"I loved how Travis really targeted my flaws and helped me work through them. The focused approach made a noticeable difference in my swing. If you want a lesson that zeroes in on your specific needs, Travis is a great choice. Definitely give his lessons a try if you’re looking to improve your game. ⛳️

Combining technical expertise with a passion for the game, I foster a supportive and engaging learning environment for all skill levels.

Michael enjoys teaching players of all skill levels from beginners to tour players. Michael still plays a lot of golf and you can find him tinkering with his swing or playing a variety of courses in his free time. He also loves to cook and explore the beauty of Northern California.

San Francisco's coastal climate supports outdoor lessons year-round, with mild temperatures even in winter and dry afternoons that suit player development at any level. The 5 active golf coaches (also called golf instructors) combine for hundreds of reviews and a 4.95 average rating, which is one of the highest rating concentrations in the state. The city's golf venues range from the world-class TPC Harding Park, which has hosted PGA Tour events, to the accessible Golden Gate Park Golf Course tucked inside the park itself, so players can match coach choice to the kind of facility they want to learn at. Fog can delay morning sessions in summer, but most coaches build flexible reschedules into their bookings so weather rarely derails a lesson plan for the week. Public access at Harding and Presidio keeps lesson supply healthy for residents who don't have country club access, and the smaller geographic footprint of the city means most coaches are reachable from any neighborhood without a long drive.
| Level | Frequency | Duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beginner | Weekly | 60 min | First 4-6 sessions build grip, stance, swing path, and contact for new players. |
| Intermediate | Every 1-2 weeks | 60-90 min | Players who break 100 work biweekly on targeted skills - short game, putting, course management. |
| Advanced | Monthly | 90-120 min | Single-digit handicap or tournament-focused players - swing rebuilds and competitive prep paired with self-directed range time. |
