Best Golf Instructor Independence Near Me

Sam Persell: Outstanding golf instruction to improve anyone's game and the 6 Trackman system are incredible. Several courses to choose from. It's a must try for golfers of all level and skill.

Diane Smith: This hidden gem is off the beaten path but definitely worth the trip.

Roy Hutchinson: I really like going to this Academy. Six hitting stations with very sophisticated Trackman units. You can play over 200 courses including many tour courses. Personal lessons are available using the technology to focus on specific parts of the golf swing. Quality clubs from Mizuno and XXIO are available for purchase. It is great in the hot summer and cold winter days to work on my swing.

Andrew Brennaman: This is the best facility in the area! Top of the line simulators, equipment, and definitely the best instructor! Jess has vendors in all the time for club fittings, ball fittings, and shaft fittings. It’s just an all around great place to relax and get some practice in.

Zachary O'Keefe: Love this shop. Between the knowledge and the excellent deals he has going on, I really don’t need to go anywhere else

KC BIKER: Friendly,great service!

T J: Place is spectacular. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly and helpful! Facility is top notch. They are great fitters, club repair is timely and well done, excellent offering of products for sale. Highly recommend

KC Local: I hate to leave a subpar review because Jess seems like a nice guy, but -He gave me some strange advice. I was getting stuck behind the ball. He suggested I set up with 60% of my weight on my trail leg. This was the emphasis of most of the lesson. It did not work for me. I have since started loading up on my lead leg and more or less stay there throughout the swing (the opposite of what he suggested). That has drastically improved my ball striking and consistency. Granted, he identified a problem but his solution was not for me. Other than that I got just a couple other swing tips that were so-so useful.I since tried an online lesson and got numerous helpful tips and drills, for less money. I will stick to the online lesson in the future.

Rae Holman: Highly recommend Jess and the rest of his staff. I had the pleasure of working with him this week and he is literally a book of knowledge when it comes to the biomechanics of a golf swing. I had such a great time and he didn’t seem to mind my competitive nature. I can’t wait for my next lesson. I hope I can make him proud!

Brian Manns: Clean, staff was curtious, didn't have my club preference is the only knock

John G.: Great facility in KC to practice, obtain instruction & preview new Mizuno golf great. Friendly staff & good hours. John G

Brian Canady: Great facility and helpful staff. Now if I could just get better at golf

phil Andreas: The Trackman simulators he has are amazing. You learn so much about your swing. Can't wait for my first lesson.

Eric Windsor: I play a round of golf about 4 times a week. I got into some really bad habits. Took my first lesson with Jess. It was the best lesson ever!!! He has all the equipment the pro's use. His equipment is so state of the art its unreal. I highly recommend taking lessons from Jess. After my lesson with Jess I will never take a lesson from an instructor that just video records me with an iPad.

David Zeiler: Great master and teacher of the game.

Michael Marcase: Jess gave me a lesson along with fitting me for new irons that dramatically improved my ball striking and I was able to take that directly to the course. It made a BIG difference

Richard Freiburghouse: My first time here. Looks like there are 2 9-hole courses and a driving range. Unfortunately the Executive Course (much nicer one) somehow was closed though I saw people playing on it. Instead, I had to play the dinky-do walking course which is OK as I like to use a push cart. All the holes are really short. OK experience but the maintenance is lacking with several of the tee-off hole markers down on the ground. Also, there are all these orange hole flags intertwined with the regular hole flags which makes it kind of annoying. Soccer players play some sort of soccer golf at the same time as the real golfers which is a recipe for disaster. A couple of kids kept running in front of us kicking a soccer ball when we were teeing off. Who would allow this? Hello, someone is going to get killed.

Steve Whalen: Priced right. Good place to get a quick 9 in. Friendly staff!

Chris Bolek: I love this course. 9 holes that can be played in a thin 2 hours on most days.

Charlie Cravens: I want to play the part 3 it's a great little course and the staff is very friendly

Matthew beaverson: I would not recommend this course to my worst enemy first time out here and I Got nothing but harassed by club officials

T Mack (Tmack): We went out to find the driving range closed for maintenance so my gf and I played the 9 hole par 3 with a cart. It was the perfect solution!Check out the par 3 and take a friend it's fun. There's flat holes and on one hole you tee off from the side of a bluff. All well manicured greens that roll smooth.

Sharon Larsen: Very nice. My family and I enjoyed it.

Tom L: Fun place/and 9 hole course that does a lot to promote the game in great ways

Nate Chastain: Whether you're just starting out with the game of golf or you've played for decades, HOA does a really nice job for the public. The 9-hole River course is very scenic with lots of water features, and a good balance of distance (two par 3s, six par 4s, and a par 5). If you're out early enough, you can finish in 2 hours! The staff is friendly and they do a really nice job of keeping greens in shape, given the amount of traffic there. The par 3 course is also a fantastic, underrated option if you want to get practice with your irons! This is one of my favorite places in the city and arguably the most affordable option out there!

Mixon Media: Great course, great people. What more can I say.

Doug Stone: Hit golf balls on the driving range and practiced. Nice facility.

Joe Saviano: Friendly folks, great location and wonderful facilities.

tgraham7r: Really enjoy how affordable this place is to play. The pro shop staff as well as the marshals have been very welcoming and friendly as well.

Jason Pope: Fun inexpensive course, that has some challenges and interesting set ups on both the front 9 and par 3

ronaduna01 Dunavant: Best place to enjoy a round of golf. Great staff that are very helpful and friendly. Ron

Charles Heflin: Nice par 3 course. Nice greens.

Darren Rippee: The driving range is currently rough grass, which is great for a realistic iron play. Also you can use tees for your driver. It's a very pretty location, with friendly staff. It is a bit of a walk to the driving range form the clubhouse currently, so not great for the movement disabled.

Willie Thomas: Excellent golf course and training areas. Staff is also very friendly and helpful...

jason ruhnke: Great place for golf. Price is very fair.

Mike Sharon: Course in excellent shape. It's a very busy place.

Sophia Koury: I really loved this spot! I’m so excited to have this addition to Parkville and Kansas City! Decor, food and drink are spot on. Come here with girl friends and for your husbands to have a fun time hitting balls and working on their swing. We will definitely be back!

J Christ: They really know what they're talking about, somehow they took me and made it look like I know what I'm doing. I saw real improvement after one lesson. Wouldn't trust anyone else.

Daniel Ash: Great guys. BYOB and simulator golf. What more could you ask for.

Cade: Great facility, and the level of service you receive is second to none. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to take their game to a higher level.

Ken Tucker: I’ve been playing golf for years, have dabbled in lessons here and there but never found success or a process that truly helped me improve. Jon and JT were recommended to me and I’m glad I gave them a chance. Jon has a great approach that is both educational and fun. I’ve seen tremendous results in a short period of time, and they have renewed my passion for the game. I look forward to my lesson each week, and continually improving in their system and with their help. Good guys too! Thank you

Lance Burnside: They create a process of providing processes for their students to progress in their game.

Blake Anderson: I've been playing golf for over 30 years. I was on my school team from 7th grade up through high school, but I've never had formal, professional instruction. I never thought it would be worth the money. After all, I've been playing since I could walk. What could they tell me that I haven't already heard through instructional magazines, YouTube, or other online golf programs.I can't express how drastically wrong I have been. Jon Snyder at Imperial has been an amazing coach. I've only been with him for about 4-5 weeks, and I've already seen great improvements in my game. Every week he identifies a new piece of the puzzle for me to work on, and every week my game is getting more and more consistent.Another benefit is that they offer custom fitting sessions. It really does make a huge difference when your coach is also your fitter. He knows your tendencies, he knows what to expect out of your swing, and all that information helps him hone in on exactly what equipment best suits your game.I can't speak highly enough of John and Imperial. I would highly recommend them to anyone that's serious about improving their golf game!

Micah Rader: Professional golf instructors with a process that works! Jon and JT know what they are doing, and frankly... I do NOT! Nor do my friends! Do yourself a favor. Go see Imperial Golf and stop listening to your friends advice.

Chris Loving: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,QualityI highly recommend Jon and JT. They are friendly, professional, and great at what they do. Whatever level you are, they will help you improve your game and get more enjoyment out of golfing.

Kent Peterson: These guys are genius. Never knew this stuff. Golf is fun again.

Katie Ervin: Imperial golf has been fantastic to work with the last 2.5 years. When our daughter decided to start golf in 7th grade we did lots of research on golf instructors. We love the video aspect of seeing what she is learning and that that she can work indoors and out with the coaches for year round training. JT and Jon have been so supportive through her growth. They are a main reason she made varsity as a freshman playing competitively less than 2 years at the time. She continues to grow, improve and tweak her game with their guidance.

Joe Black: Started as a day 1 novice golfer with JT and have been getting lessons from him for about a month. I find JT to be a highly skilled player and coach, able to break down the fundamentals of golf to whatever level the student requires. Great facility and pricing...worth checking out!

Brett Jackson: Great place. Jon's a terrific instructor. Can't wait to get back and work on my swing.

Brian Martorana: I worked with JT on both a swing analysis and club fitting and would recommend them for sure...I like their approach to discussing goals around your golf game + their customer service. My experience in the past with golf instructors have usually involved a level of flakiness that doesn't lend to referrals and consistency, these guys flip the script on that notion.

Joshua Gammon: Jon and Ryan have been doing a fantastic job with my daughter. Jon and Grace work well together and her game has improved immensely. GAOTN is very flexible with schedules and it has been a great experience watching the growth and (don't tell Jon) learning by listening. I would recommend them to anyone wanting to improve their golf game. I also love the new branding and partnerships they are developing.

Darren Morris: I have had the opportunity to work with both Jon and JT. The time I spent there really helped re-engage my swing and taught me strategies to employ when I am on the golf course. I am a very big fan of Imperial golf.Last week, I brought my 12 year-old daughter in who doesn't think of herself as very athletic. After her session with JT, she walked out on cloud nine. Not only did she discover that she has a naturally on plane swing, but her dance history helped provide her with the balance and posture. JT helped bring that out and left her excited to come back. That in turn left me excited that I have a new golf partner!If you are looking to improve your game, or like me, want to introduce a young one to the sport, this is a wonderful place for both. I wholly endorse Imperial Golf.

Matthew Porter: By far the best golf instructors around! I've taken lessons in Overland Park and at my local course and neither come close to the guys at Imperial Golf. I worked with John Snyder and am absolutely amazed by his results. John is a true professional who's love for the game translates to his teaching style. He breaks down swing problems, and focuses on the root cause of swing issues, not providing a temporary fix to problems. I only had a few sessions due to a move but wish I could take his golf shop with me. Try them out, you won't regret it.

Larry McCord: I purchased a Groupon for a golf swing analysis with Jon and I was GREATLY impressed with his knowledge and with the technical equipment and capabilities. I was so impressed that with his observations and advice that I plan to follow-up with a lesson package. Both Jon and JT appear to be great guys with a definite interest in helping individuals to improve their golfing skills.

Sam Brannen: Have actually learned more in evaluation and 2 lessons from Jon than in all other lessons I’ve ever taken before put together. Highly recommend!!!!!

Daniel Tokar: Ryan Patterson is the best golf instructor that I have ever had! Have had several lessons from all sorts of different instructors and have never had the kind of results that I had with Ryans' teaching. What I really appreciated about Ryan is he first give you some basic swing instructions to let you work on and then once you have got those dialed in, he will help you fine tune other things to keep lowering your scores. Having the combo of multiple angles of video analysis and really great focused instruction has really improved my golf game. He is always more then willing to work on whatever area of your golf game is giving you problems from driver to short game and get you fixed up! Thanks Imperial Golf!

Frank Bonura: I have learned more in four lessons from Alan Joyal than in the previous three decades of instruction. To say I recommend him is an understatement.

Ryan Chancey: Horrible experience. I had a lesson scheduled with Marcus Wilkes. I show up 5 minutes early and I proceed to wait for 20 minutes while Marcus up sells a customer and doesn’t even acknowledge me or say anything about him running behind. Then the lesson started off well but that changed once Marcus realized I wasn’t wanting to spend $5k on more lessons. At that time, he couldn’t care less about my lessons or improving my swing. He basically went in and out of the room while I was swinging, not paying any attention and no actual plan during my lesson. It was obvious I was wasting his time and he didn’t keep it a secret. Just a horrible experience overall, didn’t even show up for my last 2 lessons as it was so awkward and wasn’t going to help with Marcus. Don’t buy lessons here or from Marcus unless you’re wanting to spend over $5k minimum

Jerome Kim: Lesson expiration of 6 months is a joke. Its straight up dishonest, misleading, and unethical.

Lisa Beard: Positive:Professionalism

Jeff Worthington: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueI highly recommend Brett! He's awesome!

Joe Gasnick: Nice place, nice people. Is it worth the money? It is very expensive. My opinion, no. They have the same technology at Golf Galaxy, at a fraction of the price. $50 a month unlimited range balls at the local golf course a better deal too. Also very upset the program is for 3 months. Lost out on 3-4 lessons. It may have been communicated at sign up, maybe, but never was communicated after that. Never even got an email.

Frank Roth: Lessons and club fitting were good, but very, very disappointed in learning that the lesson package I purchased had an "expiration date" (was not informed at time of purchase) and that they did not send reminder notices that it was going to expire while there was still an opportunity to complete the package. Very disappointed in their process and hated to waste money that did not need to be wasted. Would not recommend them and would caution others to know all the facts up front, even if you have to ask.

Pat Ryan: I have had a great experience working with Golftec and working with Dustin as my instructor. Very knowledgeable and understands how to best help regardless of handicap. I would give more stars if reviews would let me!!

Joe Stickel: Started golf earlier this year. Purchased a lesson package because let's face it, you CAN teach yourself how to golf, but probably not golf well. I made marked improvements in each of my lessons. I can tell you from personal experience, just get lessons. They work. I appreciate the help I've gotten so far, and I look forward to future improvements.

Shelly Smithe: Nice store. Brett is the best!

Christian Ford: Great place to learn how to improve your golf game. Seeing your swing on video with the instructors showing you where it can be improved is invaluable. There is only so much information you can see in real-time, so being able to go frame by frame and adjust body position is extremely helpful. I would highly recommend getting a swing evaluation here and seeing what the instructors have to say. Shout out to Dustin Ulm, who is a great instructor, knowledgeable and willing to give the extra effort to help out.

Robert H: Shout out to David Williams and GolfTec. I started lessons with David summer of 2021 struggling to break 100. A year later I was able to break 80 for the first time. I especially liked the before and after videos from each lesson, along with the written practice plan for what I have to work on that week. I could not have improved to this extent without David and GolfTec.

Tim Shelp: Poor first experience. Initially, communication was great. Golftec Lee's Summit worked with me to get a club fitting scheduled at 8am. However, showed up for my fitting at open and no one was there. Received a call after my scheduled appointment was supposed to start that they needed to cancel and reschedule. I understand things happen, but driving 40 minutes to get a notice of cancellation after the set time it was supposed to start was very disappointing and waste of a morning for me.

Steve Gibson: I am a 66-year-old man whose golf game began to falter a couple of years ago. I struggled to find the answer and ultimately did the worse thing possible and tinkered with my swing. My scores went from the low/middle 80’s to now low 90’s and sometimes much higher. I was frustrated.While attending the KCK golf show I saw the Golftec booth and watched as they worked with people. We chatted and ultimately set up a swing analysis. I was in for a shock! I met with Dustin Ulm (Lee’s Summit) and we looked at my swing. Bottom line was that as I had tinkered it threw off my swing plane, lost hip, and shoulder turn thus taking away a lot of power. It was pretty evident with their technology and hard to dispute camera’s, video’s, and launch monitors.At that point I decided I did not want to continue as I was playing and set up a series of lesson’s with Dustin to correct my swing. We knew this would not be an overnight thing and would take me hitting lots of golf balls and practicing drills. The first half 2020 I practiced, practiced, and practiced. When I would play the first thing constantly reviewed lesson notes and hit as I was coached. During these early rounds I found that I hit some pure shots and missed many others (but the misses were better than before). However, I was diligent and stuck with what I was learning. Toward the end of the season I began to hit many more pure shots and my distance and accuracy increased. It’s early this year but early results show I have retained what I learned and am playing better.I also elected to ensure my clubs were right for me and had Dustin fit me. I am not stuck on one brand as performance is what counts. After an extremely thorough fitting session and hitting many clubs Dustin found my Mizuno irons to be right, but my Driver and Fairway woods needed an upgrade and some adjustments. I am now hitting a Callaway Mavrik Driver and Big Bertha Fairway woods. Never thought I would hit Callaway but after using them a few weeks (I Love Them).If you want to seriously improve your game or just find that swing you may have lost, I highly recommend working with Golftec.

Casey Ventrillo: Beautiful facility and Dustin is fantastic.

Ron Woods: The course and the facilities were amazing. One of the most beautiful tracks I have ever played. Large trees scattered along the edges of the fairways . Wide and player friendly fairways. Must play if you get the chance.

Joseph Madigan: Lovely course snaking through Leawood neighborhoods!

Gregory Hurst: Excellent club, great food, superlative service.

Lupe Munoz: It was awesome! Great course! Nice people and great club house! 👍

Luke: What a fantastic restaurant! The chefs continued to amazed us with their beautiful presentations and delicious food! Great experience, everything was COVID safe, and the fireplace was nice. Great food!

Mighty 2: Incredible experience and excellent food. The chef is amazing. Really nice outdoor space and pool. Great service.

Michael Blankowski: Nice facilities. They do a great job at keeping up the pool area and grounds. Dining is decent but not really our style. Low key country club atmosphere with high quality surroundings. Great fitness center

Dan Hiller: Always fantastic!

Quinn McCullough: love the pool. its a lot of fun during the summer

Ellis Wright: Had fun with Dana and friends, incredible staff!

William Borello: What a nice golf course

Mark Handley: Exclusive private club. Only 225 golf members!
