Client Reviews

Steve is a great coach and knows what he is doing. I've had one lesson with him thus far and he was able to point out my flaws in my swing and provide me with great drills to continue to approve my game. I would recommend Steve to any golfer who needs some help (that would be all of us I believe).

I started working with Steve a couple years ago. My game went from mid-handicapper to a single digit with his help. His video and personal instruction have made a huge difference in my golf game. I continue to seek his expertise to fine tune my game. His rates are excellent and I would highly recommend Steve Bean and Southern California Golf Schools to anyone looking to improve their game. Bernie Johnson Menifee, California My experience with Steve Bean was phenomenal. He honed in on key elements of my game that I had no idea I was doing wrong. Through video he allowed me to key in on my critical power leaks. The on course session was also great. Steve was extremely helpful in getting me squared up to the target and giving me awesome pointers along the way. Steve Bean is a legitimate golf instructor and I will definitely recommend him to anyone looking to lower there handicap.   Chris Bosley United States Coast Guard Steve, Just want to say thank-you for the lessons, with your easy to understand instructions and video feedback I was able to shoot a 75 at Apple Valley Golf Club. I look forward to more lessons and learning about the short game. Guess you can teach an old dog new tricks. Kevin Mullen Highland, California Coach Steve goes out of his way to make sure the kids have fun while practicing golf! His easy going style allows my kids to feel confident and learn without feeling stressed! He has been coaching my 3 kids for several years now- I love that the rates are so reasonable and their golf skills continue to improve! I love that they can be comfortable on a golf course- I think that will be very helpful for them in the future! I highly recommend Coach Steve! The CJs Mom Corona, California I just had a five hour golf school with Steve Bean at Jurupa Hills. . I wanted something that was more like a golf school vs. a lesson. I have had many lessons over the years and "none" compared to this in terms of the difference it made in my game. I think it takes something special to be an effective instructor and Steve Bean has that. His observations and corrections  made an immediate improvement to every aspect of my game from tee to pin. I'm already planning to go back once I have a chance to work on what I've learned. Gary Cronkgmo Irvine, California I just want to let you know how much we enjoyed our experience with Steve Bean at Pala Mesa Resort. I have gone to high end golf schools in the past conducted by well known teachers, including Jim Flick,  Jack Lumpkin, Eddie Jones and Jamie Mulligan. Although Steven is not as well known, he is right up there with them in his ability to teach golf. We plan to attend another one of your schools next year.        Jack
I approached Steve because he offers on the course training at a reasonable price. My game is at a very high level on the practice range but when I would get out into tournament play I would struggle. Steve has helped me by having a strategy for the course while improving my fundamentals on the range The result is in a very short amount of time I am more confident because I actually have a game plan now. One thing I really like about Steve is he’s not hard to approach like a lot of teaching pros and you can ask any question you need to ask. I found the experience more than worth the money and am now going on a regular basis. I would recommend Steve to people who need help with their game in any way. Great with the full swing all the way down to the putter. I have been to a ton of golf pros and schools and Steve knows what he’s talking about.

I just had a 5 hour commuter golf school with Steve Bean at Jurupa Hills. I wanted something that was more like a golf school vs a golf lesson.

I wanted to personally thank you for organizing a great golf school this week at Barona Valley Ranch and Casino with Steve B. This was my first golf school and it exceeded all my expectations. The pro, Steve, has been great. I was very nervous prior to attending but Steve put me at ease immediately. The teaching format and curriculum has been insightful and most importantly, performance based. I have increased my putting, short and long game 10x (at least). Steve's ability to explain the golf swing and adjust my swing is a testament to his talent. The use of video has also been helpful to not only 'feel' the golf swing but also see the results of a swing -- the positive and negative. I am looking forward to my final day of school on Thursday and more importantly taking my new skills and confidence back to SF to further my golf game. Thanks again for your help and Steve's expertise and professionalism. Kimberly R - March 2012 San Francisco, CA
Dear Steve, I have had golf lessons the past 30 years. And each professional was good and competent. However; you are a cut above. Because I still don't play as much as I would like, my scores range in the 95 to 99 range. My son and I went and played Pinehurst #2. After your golf school I shot an 87. Without your tutelage I know I never would have been able to accomplish that score. Many thanks from an extremely satisfied client. Dr. Vincent W - July 2013 Los Angeles, California
Keith and I just returned from San Vicente Golf Resort and our 3 day golf school. We both learned a lot about our golf swing and the things we need to work on. The course was nice, fun and presented us with plenty of challenge, risk and reward. Our instructor Steve B. was great. He has a perfect personality for teaching. No ego, good sense of humor and very patient. He would use different tools and techniques and allow each of us the opportunity to feel, visualize and learn in multiple ways in hopes we would find something that worked for each of us. When we tried to take that instruction out to the golf course each day he just gave us a few tips but allowed us to enjoy the game and not get tied down thinking about the 15 things we needed to think about to hit a good shot. If I was going to take further instruction I would absolutely use Steve again. Each day we would work with Steve he used tools, techniques, aids and real instruction, Keith and I both learned the importance of rotation and the need to have your core pull you through the golf swing. We both enjoyed working with Steve.
