Best 47 coaches for Golf lessons near Arcadia, CA

Hello everyone! My name is Nick Chavez and I am one of the golf instructors at MNML Golf Club in Pasadena. For those of you who don’t know me here below is a bio: Born in Pasadena, Nick from a young age played many sports but chose golf as his passion. Growing up he learned from different professionals in the local area while competing in junior tournaments all around Southern California. He attended Maranatha High School right here in Pasadena and competed on the golf team there. From there, he earned an athletic scholarship to play for Providence Christian College also right here in Pasadena. At Providence, Nick had many accomplishments in college including an individual win at the 2021 William Jessup Warrior Invitational in Rocklin California which was also the first in the schools history. That win earned Nick a spot on the official World Amateur Golf Rankings. Nick also won the 2022 Club Championship at San Gabriel Country Club in his first ever time competing in the event. While Nick has been competing in golf for most of his life, he has also been instructing as well. Throughout high school and college, he helped coach junior camps with the First Tee of Pasadena, Ace Golf Academy, and with San Gabriel Country Club. Nick also volunteered coaching at his alma mater Providence Christian for a short time as well. Nick says “I believe that golf is a sport for everyone. Anyone can play golf and if you have not started yet it is never too late in your life to start that journey. As much as I love playing and competing, I enjoy instructing so much more. Whether it is their full swings, course management, or even their mental side, I want to be there for people to help improve their game. I understand how difficult golf can be at times and I want to help players better themselves. I want to keep each session simple. I do not want to give my students too much info to make them overthink. One of the biggest problems that the average golfer does to themselves is think too much about their swing.“ If you want to connect with me, schedule a lesson!

I am an amateur golfer from China with 15 years of playing experience and have studied with five coaches. My best score is 80. I started learning the sport at the age of 40, and my athletic ability is quite average. While learning from different coaches, I noticed a problem: they are too professional and don't understand that our bodies, especially as we get older, simply can't turn as much as they require. Therefore, during my practice sessions, I rely on my own exploration to improve my performance. Many of the issues I encounter are common among amateur players, issues that professional coaches who have been playing since childhood have never faced. So, if you are a beginner, if you are someone who is getting on in years, or if you have average athletic ability, I might be able to teach you better than a professional coach could.

"I’ve been taking lessons with Coach Chae for a few months now, and the progress I’ve made is incredible. Before working with him, my golf game felt frustrating—I struggled with consistency and often felt unsure about my swing mechanics. Coach Chae helped me break down my swing into manageable parts and focused on building solid fundamentals. What I appreciate most is his patient coaching style. He takes the time to watch my swing carefully and gives detailed feedback without rushing. His drills are practical and directly translate to better performance on the course. Since starting with Coach Chae, my ball striking has improved significantly, and I’ve lowered my scores by several strokes. My putting and short game have also seen great improvement thanks to his targeted practice routines. I now approach each round with more confidence and a clearer understanding of how to play smart golf. Coach Chae is definitely the coach you want if you’re serious about improving and enjoying the game more.
