Great environment and both pros are super helpful with their instruction. It’s private and really inviting. They also do private events! They also offer instruction packages for a nice price break! Highly recommend. ⛳️⛳️

I wholeheartedly endorse GolfLab. John exceeded my expectations during my first lesson.  John showed me what I was doing wrong and then showed me how to do it right. Now I can practice correctly instead of continuing to hit the range and practice doing things wrong. This place is where to go to learn golf correctly.

Eric Woods has completely changed my golf game for the better. His coaching style is incredibly effective because he understands exactly when to introduce something new rather than overwhelming you with a bunch of swing thoughts at once. That timing has made a huge difference in how quickly I’ve been able to improve.

I also love the cameras in the studio. Being able to actually see my swing and understand what’s happening has been a game changer. Eric does a great job of breaking things down in a way that makes it easy to understand and apply.

If you want to improve your game or, like me are completely new to golf, Golf Lab Academy is a must. John and Eric are incredibly welcoming and encouraging, and John’s talent for breaking down the technical side of the swing into easy-to-understand tips has been invaluable.  It’s easily the best investment I’ve made in my new hobby by far!

Nothing but good things to say about The Lab! Eric is above and beyond helpful if your serious about working on your swing. Super patient yet to the point. Your bad habits will disappear if you apply his techniques. I've had the opportunity to play with him many times. If you have a chance  you will find out real quick why he's good at what he does. Group events or private lessons we've done it all. Well worth yoir time. Thanks Eric I will see you soon!

I visited the Golf Lab with a handicap of 20. After working with John and the entire team, I’ve managed to lower my handicap to the single digits. The facility is of the highest quality. If you’re looking to improve your golf skills or learn from the best, you won’t find better coaches or facilities anywhere else. Several of my friends have also started visiting the Golf Lab, and they’ve both noticed significant improvements in their swings and scores. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.
