Absolute best money I have spent on my golf game! I found Brad online as he is a certified PGA professional instructor and heard nothing but great things. I will be honest, I was a little apprehensive when I signed up for my first ever golf lesson, thinking I was going to get nothing out of it and that it was a waste of money. Immediately walking into the facility, it is state of the art with numerous Trackman hitting bays, putting green, club fitting/building station and the coolest instructor that greeted me immediately with a smile. I knew I was at the right place.

Northwest Golf Academy is a state-of the art golf training facility which is certainly the best in the area. Brad Ray is a passionate and patient instructor who is able to use his skills to simplify the complexities of golf swing mechanics into intuitive drills that have helped me improve my consistency of iron play. I just had my first hole-in one which is resounding evidence of the results of Brad's lessons. Although Brads core competencies, I believe is with junior golfers, I have benefitted tremendously from his services as a senior golfer, age 71.
My 15 yr old daughter is taking golf lessons with Brad and he has shaved off >20 shots within a year. He gave her swing and stance exercises and home work that he would check on. She is now playing for her school and feels very confident. His Practice center is very easy to use and schedule and safe. perfect for the indoor winter, I like the early dawn and late night hours. He is very thorough and passionate, many a times he has gone over his lesson minutes if he has to complete a concept, would never leave her in doubt
