"I have been playing golf for 20 years. I was a 2 handicap when I met him and he was able to get me under a scratch. The way he looks at things and relays it back to me was amazing. I was able to make adjustments so fast and learn so much more. Very happy with the results!

My name is Ryan Hixson, and I started my golf journey at six years old, learning from my dad and through sheer dedication. I won my first tournament right out of the gate and have since clinched multiple junior events across various levels. With 15 years as a golf professional, I’ve honed my skills by shadowing tour coaches and working with fellow tour pros to elevate my students and golf academies. I’ve had the privilege of teaching many professionals who have won on tours like the APGA, PGA, Korn Ferry, LIV, and PGA China, and I've helped over 10 golfers secure college golf spots in the last four years. My teaching combines intuition with technology, utilizing tools like Foresight, Capto putting, ProSync, and Eyeline Golf. I’m also TPI Certified, a Capto putting certified coach, and a 4 Essentials certified coach.

"My son has been with coach Ryan for over 1year and improved a lot for his swing. The simulation workshop helps a lot to analyze people’s movements, and Coach Ryan will provide drills for better swing. He is also very responsive to my son’s questions and provides quick suggestions.

Driven by a lifelong passion for the game, I've spent the last 25 years refining my skills, both as a competitor and a dedicated PGA, US Kids Golf and Hank Haney trained golf coach. My mission is simple: to help you unlock your full potential on the course by providing personalized guidance and fostering a supportive learning environment. Let's work together to refine your swing, improve your strategy, and elevate your game.

As an assistant golf professional and an instructor, I'm passionate about helping players of all levels improve their game and achieve their goals. I graduated from the University of Redlands with a degree in Business Administration and am currently on the third and final level of the PGA program. I believe everyone can play golf well with what they have, and we will work together to make your swing work for YOU! I love seeing people improve their swing right in front of my eyes, and I would love to help you lower those scores!

For over five decades, I've been deeply passionate about the game of golf, competing at the collegiate level and sharing my love for the sport with others. My coaching style blends technical expertise with a focus on building confidence and fostering a genuine enjoyment of the game. I believe in a personalized approach, helping each student, regardless of their current skill level, reach their full potential.
