I’ve been working with Eric Jordan at GOLFTEC in Durham and the results have been impressive. I’ve improved my game (specifically distance and control) in a much shorter period of time than I expected…and that’s a direct result of Eric’s coaching. His teaching style is easy to understand, data-driven without being overwhelming, and always focused on practical improvement. He does a great job breaking things down and building confidence. If you’re serious about getting better at golf, I highly recommend GOLFTEC, especially taking lessons with Eric.

These are the best golf lessons I have had. Eric teaches a method that is simple and better for a lot of players. I am confident I will be able to lower my handicap significantly within a short period of time. I would recommend GOLF tech to anyone that wants to take golf lessons.

I want to share my positive review after 10 lessons with Jacob Smith at GolfTec. My initial goal was to fix the slice on my driver, and Jacob succeeded in that completely. Beyond that, I also saw several other improvements I hadn’t even expected when I started the lessons.
Jacob’s approach struck a perfect balance. He’s incredibly kind, professional, and personable, making every lesson enjoyable. He always came prepared, and I left each lesson with clear takeaways to work on between sessions, which helped me maintain steady progress.
What stood out most was how Jacob met me exactly where I was skill-wise. Despite any errant shanks or off shots, I never felt judged or pressured. It was clear he cared deeply about helping me improve, but equally important, he made sure I enjoyed the process without getting frustrated with myself, something I really appreciated. He also did a great job explaining the rationale behind his recommendations, even including some math when I asked for it.
During club fittings and sales conversations, I didn’t feel any pressure or overselling, which was a concern I had going in. That honesty and respect went a long way.
If I ever decide to take lessons again, Jacob will be my go-to instructor for sure. Meanwhile, I’m energized and motivated to practice and play more, and my skill level reflects that growth. I’ve gone from scoring well over 100 each round to now aiming to break 90, which is a significant milestone for me.
Thanks, Jacob, for a fantastic experience and real results. I couldn’t recommend you more!
