Jaden has been a great golf coach. Been working with him for 2 months and my game has changed drastically. He's very patient and finds way to instruct in ways that works for you. Highly recommend Jaden and the facilities are top notch.
Scott Rouse
Had a great lesson with Jaden. We covered a lot of information but was able to zero in on a few areas where I've gotten sloppy over the years. Can't wait to get out on the course to practice and apply his insights. Thanks Jaden!!
Diane Macmillian
My son has been a part of the summer camps twice in a row and my son always wants to come back. He loves the social interaction aspect and all that they learn while at camp. The instructors/camp leaders are always busy with fun activities with the kids. I really believe that their summer camp is a winner! I will definitely be bringing my son back here!

Laurie Alpaugh
Had a great lesson with Jaden yesterday. Worked on takeaway, transition, impact, and follow through. Over the course of the hour, Jaden gave me some easy drills that I will definitely work into my practice routine. If you’re looking to improve your swing, I highly recommend Jaden.

Had a great lesson with Jaden, he kept it simple and left me with some small adjustments to work on… he also provided an email recapping what we worked on which is helpful
Dan MacPherson
Had an awesome lesson with Jaden recently. Within 5 minutes I learned a ton and have been able to implement those things into my game. Ever since I've been seeing better and better scores with more consistency in my shots.

Excellent golf summer camp for kids. My 9 year old and 7 year old have been in the Fanshawe Golf School Summer Camp for the last 3 years. They have learned golf skills and etiquette. The instructors are knowledgeable and keep each day fun.

Chris Kindratsky
Great place to learn the fundamentals or fine tune your swing. I did private lessons with Jaden and they really payed off on the course!
Trevor Paterson
FGS came to my school to provide a multi-session experience with our students. They brought all the necessary equipment to turn our gymnasium into a driving range and putting course. The instructors were very engaging with my students.
W. Seranno
We had the privilege of having the Fanshawe Golf School join our junior and intermediate students for indoor golf lessons and it was a hit! Students learned so much in the 4 day workshop and some have grown to love golf even more or are now going to be golfers themselves. I HIGHLY recommend this program, either it be at school or individually.
Charlene Thomson
The Fanshawe Golf School recently came to our elementary school for four 1 hour lessons. They were amazing with the students. Everything from teaching them how to swing a club, to encouraging comments, and jokes, seemed to be included in their package. The kids had a blast and many of them are now keen on joining one of their summer camps.
