Fantastic! Michael improved my ball striking dramatically. I went from shooting 115 ish to breaking 100 and shooting high 90s consistently after I practiced our lesson content. We worked on ball striking, aiming/alignment, putting, and more. Michael really took his time to explain the essential details of the golf swing that I was struggling with the most. He took videos of my swing and I could tell he spent plenty of time outside our lesson dissecting every aspect of my swing and make the most of our lesson time. Also, Michael is fun and very respectful. Always on time and cared a lot about my progress. GET A LESSON.

Michael was a great instructor! I went through a 4 lesson beginner package with him, having never played golf before. I was invited on a golf trip, and took these lessons going into it. I didn’t have wild expectations of being great, I just wanted to hold my own with friends. I ended up exceeding my personal expectations and the group was surprised that it was my first time playing. Michael’s process of building the swing from small to large built good fundamentals that I was able to rely on when I was on the course playing! I’m very excited to continue to pick up the sport and will be returning for lessons to bring my game to the next level!

Look no further!! Michael is truly a gifted teacher and I have learned so much from him already in just a handful of lessons, and have seen much improvement. He is also very outgoing, kind and patient, and able to work with all skill levels. He's very intuitive at picking up on even the smallest nuances of one's swing, to help make little tweaks that result in big improvements. He's the best in my opinion!!

I did his beginner program where it was 3 classes and we went over Putting, chipping and pitching. The 1st class I was amazed on the detail and time he took to explain everything he was teaching you. He was so specific and detailed on everything he taught you. He was very laid back as well, I enjoyed the small talk he had with me while working with me instead of just practicing in silence.
He gives you the tools but you have to practice outside of class in order to reap the full benefits of with coach.
I look forward to doing his intermediate class and watch my game evolve even more!

Lortan is the man. One thing I am a firm believer in is that life is not a textbook and even more so in the game of golf. Not everyone is 6’2, slender waisted, with lanky lean arms and thus he structures his lessons based of your thought process and natural abilities. He is a phenomenal listener. I feel most pros just want you to come back time after time trying to have you reinvent the wheel, but he cares about what it takes to make you successful. Its not all about the technical aspects of your game with him either, and I truly enjoy the off conversations we have about other subjects during our time because it brings the process back to earth. I highly recommend anyone at any level to come see him, and If I could give him 10 stars I would. Thank you.

I simply cannot rave enough about Lortan Golf! He is the best golf coach you can ever ask for. He is very methodical, systematic, and knowledgeable. The flow of his lessons are so that you can easily grasp the game of golf; he starts from the basics, and then slowly work to improve your golf swings. I was a complete beginner when I started and over three lesson my swings improved dramatically. I could actually putt, chip, and pitch. I still have some ways to go, but I am so grateful to Michael for helping me improve my game.
- Ahmed M, Beginner
Highly recommend Michael. I did the 3 session introductory. Played golf casually in the past, very inconsistent. In 3 sessions, so much happier with how I strike the ball. Will definitely take some more lessons with Michael to address specific issues and needs.
- James M, Intermediate
Great golf lesson! Michael did a great job of analyzing our swings, taking photos and videos to show us what to work on and explained everything well clearly. Would definitely go back to see him!
- Jordin M, Intermediate
By far the best golf lesson that I have ever had. Highly recommended, very professional and I was able to improve my swing after the first class.
- Roberto R, Intermediate
Michael is the best golf instructor I have ever worked with bar none. He will work patiently and tirelessly to meet your golf needs. I recommend Lortan Golf without reservation.
- August P, Intermediate
I highly recommend Michael as a golf instructor. Whether you're a beginner like me or a more advanced golfer, his knowledge and passion for golf is infectious. I look up to Michael as a mentor and consider him a great friend. I've been taking lessons for 5 months and will continue to do so. His instruction style is professional but personable and there's no better day than a lesson with Michael! Thank you so much!
- Savannah S, Beginner
Michael was exactly what I was looking for in a golf instructor starting off. Not just telling me what I should be doing, but also giving individualized feedback based on what I’m feeling in my swing. Went out and had a couple of my best rounds ever after working with him. Very relatable and easy to talk to as well.
- Nathan E, Intermediate
Great instructor !!! Will FOR SURE have more lessons !!!!
- Jean O, Intermediate
He's friendly and was extremely patient with me.
- Andreana M, Beginner
Great teacher. Loves the game. Very patient. Would highly recommend.
- Nathan H, Intermediate
Lortan is not only an amazing trainer but an all around class act person. Lortan has taken the time to show me the fundamentals of the game in a short period of time and has helped make the game more enjoyable for me. He takes the time to explain not only the proper techniques but also the underlying issues that are causing short falls in my game. I plan on continuing to use Lortan and his expertise in the future.
- Benjamin H, Beginner
Very knowledgeable, very patient. He was able to break down my weaknesses and strengths very quickly and find a solution that he explained very thoroughly to me. I was able to see improvements right away. Can’t wait for our next appointment.
- Jeff C, Intermediate
Lortan golf worked with me on chipping first because that was my biggest opportunity to work on. I shaved off several strokes each round after that! They also spent about 1 hour on driving the ball with better accuracy, worked with ease, can’t thank them enough and has made golf much more rewarding.🏌️
- Ron F, Intermediate
I was completely new to golf but had played sports. I thought golf would be easier than other sports but I learned quickly golf is not like that. Michael taught me all the basics as well as those creative shots you need for getting out of trouble. Today I love golf so much.. Michael was my only instructor as a beginner to a low handicap index of 8.3. He is very good at communicating the “why” shots aren’t working and helping you correct the underlying reasons we pull, hook, slice or fade unintentionally. He is tenacious and if you love to learn you will get your game right with him. Super affordable too.
- Cyndi L, Advanced
Michael is an incredible golf instructor. Just wrapped up my last lesson and I’ll definitely be back for more. His ability to explain techniques in a clear and easy to understand manner has already had a massive impact on my game. So much so that I shaved 7-10 strokes off each round on average since starting with him a little over a month ago.

My wife bought me a three lesson package with Lortan Golf this summer. I have had a couple of different golf instructors, but no one like Michael. He is an incredible teacher and not only did he lower my score, he gave me a better mindset on how to approach the game of golf. I now make smarter decisions and trust my swing. Michael is very honest and patient. For my level, he wasn’t overly technical and kept it simple. He spent a ton of his personal time to find me the perfect video to fix my major swing issue and FaceTimed me to walk me through it before I played my next round. Through my three lessons, I have made huge strides in fixing my swing and we shared a ton of laughs. I would recommend Michael to everyone at any level!
- Danny M, Intermediate
Michael is a great instructor. Very patient and knowledgeable and I saw a noticeable improvement during my four sessions with him. On top of the in person practice, he provides online training guides that help with solo practice. I look forward to more sessions with Michael
- Samantha D, Beginner
Michael was great to work with. During our 1st session, I was amazed at my ability to hit my 9 iron higher, longer and straighter than ever before. The tips and tools he provided me also translated to my other clubs.
During subsequent sessions, I learned more about managing the golf course to give myself the tools to better my score and not just hitting better, longer shots. I feel that Michael has given me the tools to better my game and tips to recognize when my shots are not working as expected.
I highly recommend Michael and based on my experiences with him, he could work with any level of golfer to improve their game and make it more enjoyable.
- Clive (Pops) D, Intermediate
Michael has been an excellent teacher, looking forward to coming back later in my golf career for more lessons so I can keep bettering myself on the course.
- Lane S, Intermediate
He really wants you to learn. He breaks down the techniques step by step so that you can learn and understand. Always goes that extra mile (more like extra 10 miles). Such a gentleman, amazing personality, professionalism and teacher skills. I was a zero in golf and in just 3 classes I am at a point where I would’ve never imagined I could reach in such a short time.
- Pravesh R, Beginner
Mike was excellent! Really helped and and listened to my needs.
- Shayan W, Intermediate
I just recently made a decision to take lessons and had my first lesson with Michael yesterday. He has already made an immediate impact on my game. He was very patient with me and explained what he saw in my swing with video and his own eyes. I actually saw my ball fly in the air and straighter a lot more consistently that I was before. I am really looking forward to our upcoming lessons!

My first golf lesson with Michael was a fun and enjoyable experience. He takes the time to make sure you understand the concept and how it can affect your game before moving onto the next bit. He is methodical in his teaching and truly enjoys what he does. I'm looking forward to my next lesson with Michael.

- Kevin I, Beginner
Michael did an excellent job of identifying the issues in my swing and giving me advice on how to correct these issues. He is very passionate about teaching and cares for his students. If your swing needs some work, he can help.
- Hudson H, Skilled
Michael is an excellent teacher/coach. He patiently works with you to determine the best swing for your level of athleticism and ability. He does not try and fit your swing into a cookie cutter style. Very personable and very professional. I highly recommend!!
- Bruce J, Intermediate
Michael is great! He is very fun to work with and made the skills very easy to learn and understand. I really liked his methodology and approach to the game! I was a very inexperienced golfer but just after one lesson, I already feel that my putting and chipping has improved tremendously. Highly recommend and I look forward to our next lesson! Thanks Michael!

Michael Lortan has a very thoughtful approach to teaching golf. Whether you're just getting started, or you've been playing for years, he knows how to meet you where you're at, and help you improve in all areas of the game. It's clear that he is extremely passionate about teaching and helping others with their golf game. Will definitely work with him again!
