Proven ability to quickly assess your swing
“Lee is a wonderfully talented golf instructor, and that’s based on my 30+ years playing golf and having a 1 handicap. Lee‘s many years of experience, teaching players from beginners through to advanced, is immediately evident. Her proven ability to quickly assess your swing, diagnosing both your strengths and weaknesses, is impressive! Lee provides a player with numerous drills to enable them to both see and „feel“ the correct golf movements. Her lessons are focused and fun. I have certainly benefited from her expertise. If you want improvement – Go see Lee!” — Ali T., Google Review

Coach Jun is a certified golf coach at Orchid Country Club, Warren Golf & Country Club, and several other top venues. He also has credentials from the SPGA and certification from the Titleist Performance Institute, so you know you’ll be in great hands.
Beginners can ease in with lessons that cover fundamentals, while intermediate and advanced players can fine-tune their swings and learn trickier techniques.
For those chasing ambitious milestones, the Elite package pushes golfers toward achieving a single handicap. And if you want to consistently break 80, you’ll need to sign up for the Pro package.
Just prepare your wallet for his above-average lesson fees. On the bright side, we heard he’s worth every penny. He has a sharp eye for spotting mistakes quickly and helping students adjust and improve naturally.
Dropped by 20 strokes after taking intermediate lessons
“Pro Jun has helped me (45 yo golfer) to launch my driver shots past 200m in just 2 lessons. And my scores dropped by 20 strokes after taking his intermediate lessons. He is very patient and encouraging, super friendly, and always gives tips on my golf range videos, and I always look forward to his class. I still have ad hoc lessons to bomb my drives further past 250m! Strong recommendation to any aspiring golfers!” — Jack Chng, Google Review
By the 2nd lesson, I was hitting the ball almost consistently
“I took private lessons with Coach Jun. The 8 lessons were so enjoyable and enriching. Coach Jun gives out simple yet effective advice to a total newbie like me. By the second lesson, I was hitting the ball almost consistently. He is patient and doesn’t rush you. He gives a good analysis of your game and tips that will instantly help you improve your swing. Totally benefited from my lessons with him and will recommend him to any beginner looking to pick up golf or any player looking to improve their game.” — Koh Alex, Google Review

Edmund Tan’s passion for the game started during his time as a scholar-athlete in the US. That helped shape his coaching philosophy today—golf should be about molding juniors into stronger students, athletes, and well-rounded individuals.
He may not be as credentialed as the other coaches, but he’s quite experienced in the actual coaching aspect of the game.
Students can choose from beginner, intermediate, and advanced private classes. And every week, he offers an Introductory Golf Trial Class to help you get a feel for the sport before committing.
His lessons start with fundamentals like ball flight laws, shaping shots, and controlling trajectories. From there, he shifts into the mental and strategic side of golf to help players plan smarter and prepare before shots.
Tournament prep strategies are offered, too, to help competitive players handle pressure and prepare routines.
Successfully fixed my slice through the lessons
“Coach Edmund has given me a whole new insight into Golf. I have had lessons from other coaches previously, but decided to attend Coach Edmund’s beginner lessons with my peers. It was the best decision I have made for my Golfing Game. Coach Edmund has successfully fixed my slice through the lessons and has provided a lot of advice on my swing. Amongst the many things I like about his lessons is the fact that he pays attention to each of our individual swings and then provides teachings to better our swings individually. Despite this being a group lesson, I wholeheartedly felt that Coach Edmund provided undivided attention to every one of his students. All in all, I really enjoyed his lessons and will definitely recommend him as a Golf Coach.🙏🏼” — Cheung Kar Hang, Google Review
Teaching style is calm, intuitive, & deeply personal
“Taking a golf lesson with Coach Edmund is an experience that goes far beyond technique. It was clear that he brings a rare depth of insight, patience, and purpose to his coaching. Coach Edmund’s teaching style is calm, intuitive, and deeply personal. He takes the time to observe, to listen, and to understand not just your swing, but your mindset. His feedback is delivered with clarity and encouragement, and his focus is always on helping you grow as both a golfer and an individual.” — Soo Cl, Google Review

My swing has improved greatly
“My weekly lessons with Garry are one of the highlights of my week. He is a coach who has become a mate. He mixes technical advice with tips on how to actually play on the course and throws in some fun stories and banter along the way to keep the lessons entertaining. Most importantly, my swing has improved greatly since I first started working with him.” — John Forrester, Google Review

“Garry is the reason I enjoy the game so much. He is extremely patient, encouraging, and is very good at identifying and correcting swing issues, gives clear, easy-to-understand instructions, and, most importantly, he knows how to make golf fun. When I took lessons from Garry, I always looked forward to my next lesson with him, and today I have a swing that I am proud of.

For over two decades, Star Golf Academy has been a go-to for aspiring golf players. They’re stationed at the Orchid Country Club, which has a 27-hole course, spacious driving range, and great short-game facilities.
Their Specialized Single Hourly Golf Lesson is ideal if you want to dip your toes into the green without a long-term commitment. Experienced players also book this to fix a swing or improve their putting—any specific weakness.
Junior Programs are available, too, for kids aged 6 to 14.
What actually caught our eye is their Corporate Golf Clinics, created for companies looking to organize team outings. Not only are these team sessions interactive, but they’re also therapeutic.
Unfortunately, this place isn’t problem-free. We heard that a few of the staff members can be a bit rude.
Never fails to make every golf lesson enjoyable

“Coach Tommy is god’s gift to golfers. I am an experienced golfer with almost 15 years of playing experience. Coach Tommy changed my game in 3 lessons and shaved off about 10 strokes. I am grateful for his simple tips that made me consistent and confident!” — Ashwini Bhatnagar, Google Review
