Play Golf at Crystal Falls Golf Club

I’m Shane Alvey, a scratch golfer, husband, father, and former Head Golf Professional with 8+ years of teaching experience and over 5,000 hours of lessons. I’ve shot rounds as low as 66, including a career-best 29 on nine holes, and I bring that same passion and precision to helping golfers of all levels improve and enjoy the game.

"Shane has been really incredible at helping me dial in my golf swing. He really has helped me reach a point where I am feeling more consistent even after just our second lesson. Gave me some great tips that helped me along during our lesson and provided some drills to work on before we meet again. I feel my swing is coming along nicely considering I have just begun my journey with golf!

My mission is to teach you how to use your hands properly to hit a golf ball with effortless power and control. The skills you develop will improve all aspects of your golf game. Get Your Game In Gear! History: - State Team Champion – State of Maryland 1984, Runner-Up State Team Championship 1985. - Two time NJCAA Individual Qualifier 1986 and 1987. Montgomery College, Rockville MD. - 2002 Two Ball Champion of the Baltimore Cup – Caves Valley MD. - Two time Individual Qualifier for the Maryland Open (2008 and 2009). - Two time Individual Qualifier for the Maryland Amateur (2008 and 2009). I can honestly tell you that I never felt I could get to the next level in golf because my swing always fell apart at some point during a round. I was missing something that the better players knew but I had yet to learn. Then I met my mentor AJ Bonar from The Truth about Golf TV fame. I flew out to San Diego to have a private lesson and my golf life changed. It took just five minutes to instantly improve my ball striking, chipping and putting. We played a round the next day and I shot three under par. I became a plus 2 later that year and qualified as an amateur to play in two consecutive Maryland Opens – professional event. My swing held up! So what does this all mean for you? I will teach you the methods and techniques that I learned 22 years after I started to play the game. You are never to old to learn what really works in golf and you are not too young to learn how to use the club properly. I am honored and excited to carry this legacy to the next generation of golfers. Let’s Get Your Game in Gear.

"I’ve been playing golf for a few years but always felt stuck around the same score range. After 15 lessons with Bennett, I can honestly say my entire game feels sharper, more consistent, and a lot more fun. Bennett took the time to understand my tendencies and built a lesson plan that addressed my swing mechanics, short game habits, and mental approach. He never overloaded me with info — just the right adjustments at the right time. We made steady progress each week, and I saw real changes in my ball striking, confidence off the tee, and especially around the greens. He’s also just a great guy to spend time with — patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping you improve. You can tell he loves teaching and knows how to meet you where you’re at. If you’re an intermediate player looking to break through to the next level, I’d highly recommend working with Bennett. The improvement has been real — and it’s made the game a lot more rewarding.

Golf made simple and fun! I'll work with your existing swing, making small adjustments for immediate improvements. Let's get you enjoying the game to the fullest!

"Song is a really solid coach who focuses on fundamentals that I’m sure I’ll use every time I hit the course. Still, more practice on those basics would definitely help build muscle memory, and I plan to train with him again.
