Encinitas ranch is a beautiful location and has great views of the ocean. I like to use a golf tee on the driving range however that's rather difficult because they have the artificial turf there. They do have a large putting practice area but it is very undulated

Reading the reviews you'd think that Rob is the "go to" coach at Encinitas. I'm here to put a word in about my "go to" coach, Brad Pharis. (Disclaimer: I received no kickbacks for my comments unlike others :)) I had begun to lose hope of being able to post a score equal to my age before I turn 95. Working with Brad for 1 1/2 years has improved my game where 80 is now a real l possibility! While my systems analysts brain is quite stubborn, Brad has demonstrated a ton of patience supplemented with continuous encouragement. Brad makes subtle changes to my swing to progressively and incrementally improve my swing. Another note: I had a ton of bad habits to break with my old swing which looked something like I was swatting at a swarm of bees while emulating Charles Barkley on a good day. The results speak for themselves and I am sure I'm destined for a sub 80 round with Brad's continued tutelage. I highly recommend Brad as a "go to" coach to anyone who is serious about improving their game significantly.
