"Good lesson
•About me (golf) My name is Noel Sims. I am a professional golfer located in Phoenix, Arizona. I am 27-years old and have been playing the game since I could walk. I have been competing in golf tournaments from ages 3-current and have played in some elite events as a junior golfer, amateur golfer and professional golfer. While finishing my junior career, I was ranked the #1 African-American in the nation and top 240 in the world on the JGS rankings. I played 1-year at South Mountain Community College where I was apart of a NJCAA National Championship team in 2016 and finished my collegiate career at Alabama State from years 2017-2021 (redshirt year at SMCC and a Covid-19 year at ASU). I was a consistent starting at both programs and have a lot experience of playing different styles of golf. I turned professional in 2021 and have made 2/2 cuts at the 2021 Outlaw Tour Wigwam Red Classic and the 2023 Arizona Open (haven’t played much professional due to finishing my Master’s Degree while also working after my collegiate career). • About me (education) I have an extensive passion for helping others reach their true potential. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Communication Studies and a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. My passion for others goes farther than just helping others in a room, but also outdoors! I find enjoyment in seeing others progress and passing my knowledge to others when it comes to golf and also recommendations with life.
"There are not many coaches who practice what they preach, and are actually great golfers. Noel absolutely is and I’m glad to have found someone who is so passionate about the game
I have been playing golf all my life, beginning with the First Tee program, which taught me that golf is more than a sport—it's a way to carry yourself, conduct business, and much more. The program instilled values such as courtesy, respect, integrity, sportsmanship, honesty, and confidence, which I live by and which have helped me throughout my golfing journey. I have competed at many levels, including SCPGA, AJGA, mini tours like the Pepsi Tour, and college golf, experiencing the game in various settings. Golf has taken me all over, and I love helping others discover and enjoy the sport.
"I thought golf would be boring at first ,but Deonte finds a way to make it enjoyable every time with visible progress
In the 22 years of my golf career, I was able to win 2 collegiate events while representing the UCLA Golf Team (Setting the UCLA record at Chambers Bay (Shooting 62) and winning one event as a professional golfer in 2021. Now, I play as +5 handicap on the course! I am currently teaching any golfers all the way from beginners to scratch golfers. I was once a beginner when I was young starting out and I also was in a stage of shooting in 80s consistently and had to learn how to break the ice to shoot under par. I would love to share this crazy golf journey with you and help you get to whatever goals you set for the year! Golf is a challenging sport, but I am here to simplify the game and build strong fundamentals. I will be on the golf journey with you so let's connect!!!

"Whether you are brand new to golf, someone who is actively looking to lower your handicap, or maybe someone who is stuck in a rut mentally, Heath will meet you where you’re at. He’s got a knack for identifying solutions, and communicating effectively no matter who he’s working with. Heath helped me go from a 20+ handicap down to a 12. A few months ago, I hit a mental hurdle and had two of the worst rounds Ive had in years. Thinking I forgot how to play, I reached out to Heath for advice. Not only did he give me some sound advice/drills to focus on when at the range, but he helped me restore confidence in myself for the next time I hit the course. I came out the next round and bounced back with a low 80’s score at one of the hardest courses I’ve ever played. This is what Heath does. He’s married to the game of golf and he’s a natural when it comes to coaching it. If you live in Arizona and you’re looking for lessons, I couldn’t recommend Heath highly enough.

Scottsdale's desert climate supports outdoor lessons close to 320 days a year, and even peak summer (June through August) supports productive pre-9am morning slots. The market depth is unusual: 8 active coaches, multiple resort-quality courses within a 15-minute drive of each other, and an indoor simulator venue (Loft Golf Studios) that covers the summer-afternoon and winter-evening gaps. The roster includes a former D1 athlete, a coach with both a golf-course-management associate degree and a Master's in Public Administration, and a 1-handicap player with 25-plus years of competitive experience. Several coaches teach across both Phoenix and Scottsdale, so students who travel between the two cities for work can keep the same coach. Most Scottsdale learners can find a coach within 10 minutes of home.

91 reviews highlighting an unusually warm, confidence-building teaching style. Strong fit for nervous first-timers, couples learning together, and anyone who has been intimidated by traditional country-club coaching environments. Reviewers regularly mention her patience and ability to make beginners feel at home.
4.98 rating across 87 reviews places him in the top tier of Scottsdale coaches by both volume and quality. A solid pick for intermediate students who want a consistent, repeatable coaching style without specific niche focus.

D1 college athlete with a perfect 5.0 rating. Strongest pick for competitive juniors, college-bound players, and adults working on tournament prep who want a coach who has played at a high competitive level themselves.
A resort-style 18-hole course in central Scottsdale with full practice facilities (driving range, short-game area, putting green). One of the more accessible resort venues in the city and a strong choice for both beginner playing lessons and intermediate course-management work.
An 18-hole course in north Scottsdale with a quality public-access reputation. Useful for intermediate and advanced students who want to practice on a layout that demands real course management, including elevation changes and strategically placed hazards.
A par-65 executive layout in south Scottsdale, ideal for beginner on-course transitions and short-game-focused playing lessons. The shorter routing keeps round times under 3 hours, which works well for after-work lessons and quick playing assessments with a coach.
Public 9-hole course with a lighted driving range, which is unusually useful for evening lessons during summer when daytime temperatures are extreme. The lighted range extends practical practice hours into the night, and the 9-hole layout supports short on-course lessons.
Indoor simulator venue in Scottsdale with launch-monitor bays. Essential for summer afternoon coaching when outdoor temperatures push past 110, and useful year-round for detailed swing-mechanic analysis (clubface, attack angle, swing path) that range work alone can't reliably capture.
"What fun! Having a lesson from Rita! She exudes passion for teaching. My wife never held a club before last May and wasn't sure why we were going 50 miles to a driving range. I'd kept the lesson a secret. I wanted an instructor who could ignite a passion for golf. Rita was per..."
"Rita made me feel comfortable and confident from the very first lesson. She has helped me develop a solid foundation in the basics of the swing and has also taught me important mental strategies for staying focused on the course. I have already noticed an improvement in my gam..."
"Nick is NOT a case of those who can't do, teach. He gives you a lot of useful, personalized swing information, and can keep building on your abilities or start you off from scratch. With tips, tricks, practice drills, Nick is your go to coach! Plus if you go on a playing lesso..."
Scottsdale has an unusual concentration of warm, confidence-building coaches who specialize in players intimidated by traditional country-club golf culture. The right coach here can take a complete beginner from never-held-a-club to enjoying nine holes within a small block of lessons.
What to look for: Reviews from spouses, partners, and first-time learners specifically. High patience-mentioned review count and a willingness to teach at beginner-friendly venues like Continental or Coronado.
Try Rita R.Scottsdale's depth of resort-quality courses and competitive-tier coaches makes it one of the best US markets for advanced students. Multiple coaches have D1 or 1-handicap playing backgrounds, which matters when the goal is tournament prep rather than casual improvement.
What to look for: D1 college athlete or low-handicap (sub-3) playing background, comfort teaching at Stonecreek or Orange Tree, and reviews from advanced students working on specific scoring goals.
Try Mike P.Several coaches teach across the broader Valley, including both Phoenix and Scottsdale venues. Useful for working professionals who split time between the two cities and want to keep the same coach for consistency.
What to look for: Multi-venue listings spanning both Phoenix and Scottsdale, high review volume (100-plus reviews indicates the coach has scaled), and willingness to teach at both indoor (Loft Golf Studios) and outdoor venues.
Try Robert M.Scottsdale's peak coaching window is November through April, when temperatures are perfect and snowbird demand pushes coach calendars full. Book 2 to 4 weeks ahead for weekend morning slots December through March. Summer (June through August) requires pre-9am outdoor sessions or indoor simulator work at Loft Golf Studios.
