This is the best GolfTec location on the planet. Just look at their awards shelf. Even better, take a lesson from their team. I'm fortunate enough to take from their team leader, Doug Strawbridge. I found him, looking for "Best Young Professional Golf Instructors In Texas." He's on that list a lot of years, and Texans don't say "Best" without good reason. He's built a great team (try Zoran!) and has my full endorsement.
And for those wondering....I'm a fully infected golf nerd. Not much better than a 6 or 7 hcp, but I used to be a lot better, and this level of instruction is more than enough for me. Money back guarantee.

Rocky Cleland is an incredible coach. He immediately knows how to help your swing and explains it in perfectly understandable terms. On top of that, he’s willing to put in the extra time if he has it. My swing has never felt better. This location is great and open late, which is nice for after work!

It was ok. I paid $95 for a Swing Evaluation, and while it somewhat helped, it really felt like a sales pitch to buy the lesson plan.
The instructor did point out a few things I was doing wrong. But whenever I asked follow up questions, the response was always “Sorry can’t answer that, that’s for the lessons only.” This happened about 7-8 times.
Seemed like he was hiding “secrets” that would only be revealed if I bought the $5k lesson plan.

Got fitted for clubs after a few lessons. There was no pressure from instructors during lessons to buy clubs (seems to be a common concern amongst my friends). Instructor stayed at least 30 minutes late after my driver fitting to help me get the right 3 wood and hybrid. Excited for them to come in in a month or so!
