"Noel was awesome, did a great job explaining what he meant and provided details about my swing that I wouldn’t have noticed. Will always go back to him!
I’m a proud graduate of the Campbell University PGA Golf Management (PGM) program, class of 2012, and have been passionate about teaching golf since my high school days, when I started helping my coach run junior camps. I was fortunate to serve as captain of my varsity golf team all four years and earned All-State and All-Section honors as a junior and senior. Golf has always been a big part of my life, but nothing means more to me than family. I’m a down to earth family man, happily married to my amazing wife of 10 years. We’re raising two wonderful kids, a fun-loving 4-year-old son and a sweet 9-month-old daughter along with our energetic chocolate lab.

" Ina was terrific for me. Before Ina my handicap was 30 plus or minus 5. After a couple of lessons, and a few weeks of playing and adhering to Ina’s easily applied weight distribution and maintaining spine position, I am happy to say golf is much more enjoyable. My handicap dropped to 20 plus or minus 5 now. I shot an 86 last week on a par 72 course which is my career best. Before Ina when topping or chunking shots I had no idea what I did wrong. Now when I occasionally chunk a shot I know why it occurred. It is easily corrected by reverting back to what Ina taught in those two lessons. Now my goal is to shoot for a 10-15 handicap. I can’t believe how much she has made this game so much more enjoyable. Don’t get me wrong I still get frustrated at times - but I am much more consistent and playing better than ever before. Next up will be a couple of lessons on chipping where my game is the most inconsistent at present. No matter what your level is I strongly recommend Ina for anybody desiring improvement and finishing a round with much more satisfaction.
For a little over 30 years I’ve been a PGA instructor and successfully helped golfers from beginners to touring professionals hone their golfing skills.

"Scott is a true professional. He helped me completely rebuild my golf swing. Scott is extremely patient and has a deep knowledge of all aspects of the game. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to change their game."
I have been playing golf all my life, beginning with the First Tee program, which taught me that golf is more than a sport—it's a way to carry yourself, conduct business, and much more. The program instilled values such as courtesy, respect, integrity, sportsmanship, honesty, and confidence, which I live by and which have helped me throughout my golfing journey. I have competed at many levels, including SCPGA, AJGA, mini tours like the Pepsi Tour, and college golf, experiencing the game in various settings. Golf has taken me all over, and I love helping others discover and enjoy the sport.

A resort-style 18-hole course in central Scottsdale with full practice facilities (driving range, short-game area, putting green). One of the more accessible resort venues in the city and a strong choice for both beginner playing lessons and intermediate course-management work.
An 18-hole course in north Scottsdale with a quality public-access reputation. Useful for intermediate and advanced students who want to practice on a layout that demands real course management, including elevation changes and strategically placed hazards.
A par-65 executive layout in south Scottsdale, ideal for beginner on-course transitions and short-game-focused playing lessons. The shorter routing keeps round times under 3 hours, which works well for after-work lessons and quick playing assessments with a coach.

Indoor simulator venue in Scottsdale with launch-monitor bays. Essential for summer afternoon coaching when outdoor temperatures push past 110, and useful year-round for detailed swing-mechanic analysis (clubface, attack angle, swing path) that range work alone can't reliably capture.
"What fun! Having a lesson from Rita! She exudes passion for teaching. My wife never held a club before last May and wasn't sure why we were going 50 miles to a driving range. I'd kept the lesson a secret. I wanted an instructor who could ignite a passion for golf. Rita was per..."
"Rita made me feel comfortable and confident from the very first lesson. She has helped me develop a solid foundation in the basics of the swing and has also taught me important mental strategies for staying focused on the course. I have already noticed an improvement in my gam..."
"Nick is NOT a case of those who can't do, teach. He gives you a lot of useful, personalized swing information, and can keep building on your abilities or start you off from scratch. With tips, tricks, practice drills, Nick is your go to coach! Plus if you go on a playing lesso..."

What to look for: Reviews from spouses, partners, and first-time learners specifically. High patience-mentioned review count and a willingness to teach at beginner-friendly venues like Continental or Coronado.
Try Rita R.Scottsdale's depth of resort-quality courses and competitive-tier coaches makes it one of the best US markets for advanced students. Multiple coaches have D1 or 1-handicap playing backgrounds, which matters when the goal is tournament prep rather than casual improvement.
What to look for: D1 college athlete or low-handicap (sub-3) playing background, comfort teaching at Stonecreek or Orange Tree, and reviews from advanced students working on specific scoring goals.
Try Mike P.Several coaches teach across the broader Valley, including both Phoenix and Scottsdale venues. Useful for working professionals who split time between the two cities and want to keep the same coach for consistency.
What to look for: Multi-venue listings spanning both Phoenix and Scottsdale, high review volume (100-plus reviews indicates the coach has scaled), and willingness to teach at both indoor (Loft Golf Studios) and outdoor venues.
