GOLFTEC Vancouver Terminal Avenue

Miles has been a joy to learn from and work with. My score is lower, I know my tendencies, I know what to work on and I have gained a lot of consistency. Miles is a very friendly guy who knows his stuff and knows how to break instruction down to make it understandable. A true professional. Golf is more fun than ever now.

Norm is a great coach and the customer service is top notch. Got my clubs built here and did the lesson pack.

Did a wedge fitting here, it was just fine, nothing to complain about. Place needs a refurbishment though. Old technology, tired looking and isn't comparable to other fitting studios.

When I first stepped into Golftec I had a rough idea how to swing a club. I could, occasionally, make the ball go straight and to where I wanted it to land. After just a few sessions with Norman he was able to dial in why I was making as many mishits as I was, provided drills I can do at the range, and was just an amazingly positive coach.Without question, if you are looking to take that first step to beating your buddies on the course, this is the place to do it. Zero regrets.

Cookie la O' has been instrumental in helping me go from 100+ to my most recent round of 74 in 16 holes (Riverway had some slooooooow golfers). It wasn't easy though. I spent many hours on the simulator trying to implement the changes Cookie outlined for me and watched and rewatched the video breakdowns from Cookie repeatedly trying to understand in detail the causes and fixes for my issues (slices, chunks, thins, etc.). Before I met Cookie at Golftec, I tried to learn how to swing watching online videos and going to the range but I got frustrated with my progress, or lack thereof. Having a coach be able to instantly assess the problem and implement drills to fix the issue is invaluable and a massive time saver. It also inspired confidence knowing that I was getting instruction from someone who played on the Asian tour. I got to see how good he is first hand during our on course session. If you're looking for an instructor who can identify your swing faults, provide drills to fix your issues and YOU ARE WILLING to put in the work to fix your swing, Cookie at Golftec is the guy for you.

Just okay: overall, relatively disappointed with the experience.Bought a 10 lesson pack + practice time + club fitting. The coach was very nice and well intentioned - clearly he wants his students to succeed. At first, I was very optimistic about the use of video to methodically fix my swing. However, I found the lessons to be random, with drills and swing aids used somewhat haphazardly vs. building a foundation from start to finish.There was a wall of “technical” information thrown at me, to the point where I couldn’t function on the course because I was trying to think about too many unnatural things at once. Also, the comparisons to Tour players are interesting, but I don’t have the talent or physical abilities of Morikawa, Woods, or Johnson, and I feel that it would have been more helpful to work within my body’s parameters.The 3-month time limit on the lesson pack also meant that they were too frequent for me to have enough time to try to dial in one change before thinking about something else.Lastly, the driver fitting was not as helpful as previous fittings I have had. Much of the fitting was spent with shaft types and weights not suitable for me and I wasn’t able to ascertain enough relevant info to help make a decision before time ran out. The technology used is not quite as advanced as a Trackman but totally fine for an average golfer to get fitted.Overall, it didn’t work for me but may work for others. I should mention that I now have an online repository of lessons and tips that I’m sure I will find useful over the summer as I work to improve on my own at a slower pace.

I have been working with Norm at GolfTEC Terminal Avenue for a few years now and the experience has been tremendous. Instead of overcomplicating things he has a way of breaking down the key fundamentals of the swing and emphasizing what you are doing well but also areas where there could be improvement. His positive attitude allows you to gain confidence in the fact you are making improvement and on your way to where you want to be if you put in the time and make the commitment. All of the instructors at Terminal Avenue are great and I would most definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking to improve their golf game.

I bought a lesson pack and worked with Norman Baufield, well worth it! I improved so much over one winter and I'm enjoying golf far more as a result. Also did a club fitting, and purchased clubs, and I would say there was no pressure, just a desire to get the right clubs in my hands. Would highly recommend.

First class golf analysis facility. Countless shafts and clubs to choose from. Equipment is all high end. Overall a good experience and would go back again. Tyler let me hit a LOT of balls into the net and I even came back a second time. Downside is that they do not let you take the clubs to a driving range.... Otherwise would recommend checking it out - the #'s don't lie and you can learn a lot from a 1-hour session. Definitely worth the $100 to help mitigate the risks of your golf game!
