"We work on my iron striking and compression technique. He also help me make sure my divot mark was at the ball instead of behind.
Trained under Hall of Fame instructor Mike Bender and Sean Hogan at the Leadbetter Golf Academy, Taylor brought his game to PGA Tour Monday Qualifiers - including the Rex Hospital Open and the Permian Basin Classic. That completive crucible shaped a simple but uncompromising teaching philosophy: there are no quick fixes. Real improvement is built through deliberate process, honest practice and patience. My belief is the only the swing that holds up is that was built and taught the right way.
"Taylor was extremely knowledgeable, well-trained, and patient throughout the lesson. What stood out most was his ability to explain instruction in a way that was easy for me to understand and apply. We worked on my grip, discussed what it takes to improve, and identified my foundational flaw in my swing. I have taken golf lessons before and no one has explained to me what a foundational flaw was. I left feeling more confident and excited to continue learning the game. I would highly recommend him.

Atlanta's golf coaching market sits at a different rhythm than the year-round Sun Belt markets: spring and fall are peak, summer humidity slows afternoon outdoor play, and winter keeps lessons running on milder days. The 6 active coaches on TeachMe.To carry a 5.0 average rating where reviews are recorded, and the roster mixes a 20-year veteran, a scratch college player, and a junior-focused instructor with strong volume. Lessons run $55 to $200 depending on coach experience, with most private 1-on-1 sessions sitting in the $85 to $130 range. Coaching activity concentrates at East Lake, West End, and the West Midtown indoor scene.

| Tier | Price | What you get |
|---|
| Group lessons | $40-$60 per person | Small group lessons of 3 to 5 students at Cascade Road or Charlie Yates. Lowest cost per session, common format for junior clinics, and a useful intro before private lessons. |
| Private beginner | $70-$110 per hour | Most common entry point for adult 1-on-1 lessons in Atlanta. Coaches in this tier typically teach at Cascade Road, John A. White, or Charlie Yates East Lake. |
| Advanced private | $130-$180 per hour | Long-tenured coaches and college-level competitive players teaching at fuller venues like Browns Mill, plus indoor launch-monitor sessions at The Back Nine for swing analysis. |
| Top-tier and simulator analysis | $180-$220 per hour | Highest-experience instructors offering full diagnostic sessions, often combining outdoor playing lessons with indoor simulator data. Best for serious competitive players and committed scoring-improvement projects. |
Atlanta's coaching scene benefits from three concentration points across the city. The historic Charlie Yates Golf Course at East Lake offers a beginner-friendly executive layout with deep Atlanta golf history. Cascade Road Driving Range and the John A. White and Browns Mill municipal courses anchor southwest Atlanta as the city's most accessible public golf cluster. The Back Nine Golf in West Midtown adds indoor simulator coverage, which matters here because Atlanta summers (June through August) push outdoor afternoon lessons into early-morning slots. The active roster includes a scratch player who played D1 at South Dakota State, a 20-plus-year veteran with a personalized teaching style, and a junior-focused coach with three years of kids' coaching experience and 100-plus five-star reviews. Most Atlanta learners can find a coach within 20 minutes of home.
| Format | Participants | Price | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private 1-on-1 | 1 student + 1 coach | $70-$220 | Fastest improvement. Default for beginners locking in fundamentals and competitive players working on specific scoring goals. |
| Pair / trio | 2-3 students + 1 coach | $45-$95 per person | Couples and friend pairs who want shared lessons at lower per-person cost. Common at Cascade Road and Charlie Yates. |
| Indoor simulator session | 1-2 students + 1 coach | $90-$170 | Summer afternoons, winter rain days, and any session where you want launch-monitor swing-path data. |
| Level | Frequency | Duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beginner | Weekly | 60 minutes | First 4 to 6 weeks at Cascade Road or Charlie Yates to lock in grip, stance, and a repeatable swing. Spring and fall mornings are easiest. |
| Intermediate | Every 1-2 weeks | 60-90 minutes | Short game and approach work at John A. White or Browns Mill. Use The Back Nine indoor venue for mid-summer and winter continuity. |
| Advanced / competitive | Every 2-4 weeks | 90-120 minutes | Playing lessons at full 18-hole municipals (John A. White, Browns Mill) paired with indoor launch-monitor sessions for swing-path and clubface data. |

Highest review volume in Atlanta with 118 reviews at 4.99. Specializes in junior development and beginner-to-intermediate adult coaching, making him the default pick for families and first-time learners across the city.
Perfect 5.0 rating across 17 reviews, with multiple reviewers calling out her ability to identify the core swing problem within a single session and translate it into simple body-mechanics changes. Useful for players stuck on a specific swing fault.
20-plus years of teaching experience with a perfect 5.0 rating. Reviewers note rapid early progress (one student was 'golf ready in 3 lessons') and emphasis on the specific area each student needs work on rather than a generic curriculum.
Scratch player with a D1 college playing background (South Dakota State) and an unusual coaching origin: he learned by taking 75-plus lessons as a student before becoming a coach. Strong fit for intermediate students who want a coach with a deep playing pedigree.
Fundamentals-first teaching style focused on identifying the one swing flaw holding a student back. Good fit for self-taught players who feel stuck at a scoring plateau and want a fresh diagnostic eye.
A 9-hole executive course inside the historic East Lake golf footprint. The shorter routing and welcoming clubhouse make it ideal for beginner playing lessons and junior development, and the East Lake connection gives the venue a quality reputation that exceeds its price point.
Southwest Atlanta's primary public driving range, with covered hitting bays for rainy and hot afternoons. A common venue for first lessons and ongoing range work between on-course sessions at the nearby John A. White and Browns Mill courses.
Indoor golf simulator venue in West Midtown with launch-monitor bays. Useful for swing-mechanic analysis, video review, and continued coaching during Atlanta's hottest weeks (July through early August) or rainy spring afternoons when outdoor practice is limited.
A municipal 18-hole layout in southwest Atlanta, accessible and budget-friendly. Strong choice for intermediate students working on course management and full-swing distance control, and a common destination for playing lessons after early range work at Cascade Road.
Another 18-hole municipal option in southwest Atlanta, paired with John A. White as the area's accessible public golf cluster. The layout is forgiving enough for advancing beginners and challenging enough for mid-handicap improvement, making it a versatile coaching venue.
"Coach Fields got me Golf ready in 3 lessons. I put in the work at home and each time I came out I improved."
"Greta was very helpful and knew exactly what to do to make the proper corrections for my golf swing. I loved how we progressed through the session and she was able to identify what was likely the problem with each swing. The way she broke it down was masterful."
"Dr Greta is the best! Her depth of knowledge and attention to all the details will improve your swing very quickly. Her sense of humor and patience makes the entire lesson a fun experience!"
Atlanta's accessible municipal courses and the East Lake executive layout make it a strong beginner market. Junior-focused coaching is unusually well represented here thanks to local golf youth programs.
What to look for: Explicit junior or beginner teaching history, high review volume from parents, and willingness to teach at Charlie Yates East Lake or Cascade Road Driving Range.
Try Dylan H.Many Atlanta players are self-taught from years of casual rounds and hit a scoring plateau around 90 to 100. The right coach can diagnose the one swing flaw holding you back rather than rebuilding from scratch.
What to look for: Reviews mentioning diagnostic ability and specific swing-flaw identification rather than only generic praise. Body-mechanics teaching style is a plus.
Try Greta A.Atlanta's mixed seasons reward students who plan ahead: outdoor work spring and fall, indoor simulator coverage at The Back Nine for summer afternoons and winter rain days. A 12-month plan is more productive here than ad-hoc booking.
What to look for: A coach who teaches both outdoors (John A. White, Browns Mill) and indoors (The Back Nine), and who is willing to map out a multi-month progression rather than only one-off sessions.
Try Claude I.Atlanta's best outdoor coaching months are March through May and September through early November. Plan summer for early morning slots and indoor simulator sessions at The Back Nine. Winter (December through February) has reduced demand and is a quiet window to lock in a strong coach.
