Had a great lesson with Chris. He assessed my swing and what needed to be improved and we put together a plan. Will be going back!

Chris was great. Fixed my drive with one correction. Made a few other small corrections. Exactly what I was looking for. Very quick to respond and was right on time. I'll be booking more lessons in the future.

I had the privilege of working with Chris Czaja, a two-time PGA Teacher of the Year, and my game has never been better. From the outset, Chris took the time to understand my goals and skill level, tailoring each lesson to address my specific needs.
His teaching approach is both clear and effective. Whether focusing on swing mechanics, short game strategies, or course management, Chris provides actionable insights that lead to immediate improvements. One of the standout aspects of his instruction is his ability to simplify complex concepts, making them accessible and easy to implement.
Since beginning lessons with Chris, I’ve noticed significant enhancements in my consistency and overall performance on the course. His expertise and personalized coaching have been instrumental in my progress.
I highly recommend Chris Czaja to golfers of all levels. His professionalism, dedication, and proven track record make him an outstanding choice for anyone looking to elevate their game.

Had a fantastic first lesson with Chris. He took time to ask a lot of questions and get a better understanding of my background in golf, and as an athlete. One or two very slight corrections had me hitting the ball great in no time. I will definitely be going back to Chris.

Across Chris’s information online after Google searching topgolf instruction near me. I booked a two hour plane lesson with Chris and in less than a half an hour he had helped me with something that I have been struggling with periodically for two decades. He is extremely personable and a real pleasure to take lessons from- he gave me practical advice that I was able to put into practice immediately with him, and I look forward to working with him more in the future. Thankful for the time that I had with him and would highly recommend him to golfers looking to get solid instruction that you can actually apply to your golf game. Thanks Chris! I hope this is the beginning of a longer term friendship, and Golf relationship.
