Best 17 coaches for Golf lessons near Yorba Linda, CA

As a Mexican American born and raised in Alhambra, California, I have deep roots in this vibrant community. I attended Alhambra High, ELA College, and Cal State LA, where my initial sporting journey began with baseball. However, it was Tiger Woods who inspired my shift to golf, a decision that has taken me around the world. I've played on 342 different courses globally and relish the opportunity to teach this fantastic game to players of all levels. Fluent in both English and Spanish, I'm always ready to offer lessons, play a round, or practice at the range. With a current handicap of 5.9 with the SCGA, I'm dedicated to both improving my game and helping others do the same.

"Mario was exceptional in his understanding of what I needed to work on in my swing. He helped me correct some flaws and I was definitely striking my irons and woods much better. He took his time in explaining the fundamentals and how they would apply to my swing. Well done!

As a graduate of Golf Academy of America, Carlsbad, California (unfortunately no longer in business), I studied the golf swing, psychology of golf, and complex teaching methods as well as golf game management. I also learned how to build and assemble golf clubs, as well as expanding my knowledge on the vast and complex rules of golf. During my 2 years at GAA, beyond my studies, I competed at a collegiate level, making the competitive Golf Team each semester I attended. I came to understand that there are no two identical golf swings. My job is to influence you to find the mechanically correct way to improve your swing and develop your short game, to help you enjoy golf more than you ever have!

"That lesson sparked a fresh grip change and clear goals, plus I can feel the swing staying steadier. A few head-still, weight-shift drills will really lock it in, and I’m excited to continue.

"I’ve been taking lessons with Coach Chae for a few months now, and the progress I’ve made is incredible. Before working with him, my golf game felt frustrating—I struggled with consistency and often felt unsure about my swing mechanics. Coach Chae helped me break down my swing into manageable parts and focused on building solid fundamentals. What I appreciate most is his patient coaching style. He takes the time to watch my swing carefully and gives detailed feedback without rushing. His drills are practical and directly translate to better performance on the course. Since starting with Coach Chae, my ball striking has improved significantly, and I’ve lowered my scores by several strokes. My putting and short game have also seen great improvement thanks to his targeted practice routines. I now approach each round with more confidence and a clearer understanding of how to play smart golf. Coach Chae is definitely the coach you want if you’re serious about improving and enjoying the game more.
