I started at GOLFTEC with Coach Grant back in August and let me say it has helped my game tremendously! Grant is a great coach and within 15 minutes of a lesson can help me make drastic improvements. I recommend GOLFTEC to anyone serious about getting better, and ask for Coach Grant

Grant and the entire crew at GolfTec are exceptional at what they do. Our whole family works with Grant—both teenagers and adults—and he has an incredible ability to teach each person in a way that truly makes sense to them. Golf is a hard game to understand, but Grant breaks it down across the mechanics, the math, and the mental side in a way that’s clear. It’s obvious how deep his knowledge of the game really is. On top of that, he and the entire staff make every session fun.

I went in to Golftec as a complete novice with my main goal to not look like I don't know how to hit a golf ball out at the course. I literally did not have a clue how to hit a golf ball correctly.
I hit my longest drive ever the other day at 297 yards. Not bad for a 69 year old! Now I play regularly and when we finish 18, I usually tell my foursome that I've only been playing for a few months, how old I am, and they are blown away. I tell them everything I learned about how to play golf I learned at Golftec. No BS. If you want to learn to play and be able to see your swing on camera from multiple angles and see how you compare side by side with the pros, Golftec is the way to do it.
Derek at the North Austin location is my coach and I cant say enough great things about how he has coached me to where my game is today. Everyone there is friendly and helpful Thanks Derek and thanks to Golftec!

I’ve been working with coach Derek on my golf swing, and he’s an outstanding coach. He really knows how to break things down in a way that makes sense and helps you improve quickly. His patience and calm teaching style make every session enjoyable, and he’s incredibly easy to work with. I’ve seen real progress in my game thanks to him. I highly recommend Derek to anyone looking to take their golf skills to the next level.
