Much needed here in NBPT. The owner/pro, Rico has done an amazing job with the setup and aesthetic. He's also a great instructor and all around fun guy. Coach Club is place to be this winter.

I started golfing late in life and instantly fell in love with the game. I had never picked up a club before. After playing a few rounds, I instantly understood the draw of spending time on a beautiful landscape with my friends playing a game that can bring you a sense of accomplishment, joy, and peace. Golf can be such an addictive game, chasing the striking of a great shot, and shooting a lower score which inevitably leads to the desire to improve. I had a few lessons early on but found them so overly technical and they did not translate into a better golf swing. The more I watched YouTube for a fix to my golf swing, the worse my swing became. I knew what my issues were; coming over the top, poor contact, swaying in the back swing, yet I could not overcome them leading to frustration in the game I enjoyed so much. At the urging of a friend, I went to Coach Club in Newburyport and bought a package of lessons with Rico Riciputi. I am so pleased with this decision. Rico has a world-class facility and is a great teacher. Rico has been able to address the corrections needed in my swing in the simplest of terms and allowing me to see results right away. I would strongly recommend Coach Club and Rico if you are looking to improve any aspect of your golf game no matter what your skill level may be. Rico is a true pro who makes improving fun and exciting. Coach Club is a five star experience! Chris
