Why Golfers Trust Ben Mutz
Testimonials
Ben, In regards to your putting coaching. It definitely has helped me learn putting through your simple math approach to teaching putting. It is a very simple system to learn and to understand. Because it is logical I am able to rely on your theories not only when I am playing but especially when I am practicing. This has allowed me to have the confidence of never going backwards and I improve daily based off the Foundation of Distance Control. The Mastery of Distance Control guarantees me that I will always have a solid putting round and this takes the pressure off of me and thus I am able to be more confident in the rest of my golf game. I now have more opportunities to make more putts and I improve day in and day out. In the past, I’ve tried other approaches on how to putt but never felt completely confident. Logically, your Body Part to Body Part teaching makes it very easy for me to perform and it is a system that I can Trust. My mind is in complete control and applying your Body Part to Body Part method gives me the confidence to hit my spot precisely over and over again. I’m getting better day by day. Thank you Ben!!
Sebastian MacLean
I met Ben and had my first putting lesson with him in the fall of the 2015 golf season. Prior to meeting Ben, my work schedule on weekdays and family/social schedule on weekends didn’t allow me to play golf more than 4-5 times per season. On the few occasions when I did play, I depended on “feel” and “touch” to guide my distance control on the putting green. Unfortunately, because I was only playing a handful of times each year. I didn’t have any feel or touch! For the most part, my putting line would be fine and rarely would I miss the cup by more than a couple of feet to either side, but I consistently would leave myself several 8-10 foot second putts that would lead to 4-5 three-putt greens per round. Ben introduced me to a very clever and unique method of distance control on the greens that started with knowing the distance in yards – like everything else is measured in golf! Then we would adjust for uphill and downhill slopes. From there, Ben’s body-part to body-part methodology very accurately translates to distance control. Through this concept, I no longer have any doubts about what distance and at what pace I need to putt the ball. With that big question solved, I can devote my full attention to the stroke knowing that distance is not going to be an unknown. In fact, once I have my line determined and I know the adjusted distance, I don’t even need to look back at the hole. All the pre-work is done before I address the putt. This has given me so much confidence knowing that frequent three-putts in my game are a thing of the past. I have since taken additional advanced putting lessons with Ben for green reading and stroke and for fine-tuning the body-part to body-part methodology specifically to putts of 5 yards and less. Correct speed on these shorter putts is absolutely critical to maximizing the cup size and the probability of making these important putts. If you currently depend on feel and touch and are plagued with frequent three-putting due to poor distance control, this course is a must for you!

Practical instruction that had immediate impact.
Steve Murnen
Total beginner here with zero golf experience — took one lesson with Coach Ben before the season ended and loved it. Super patient and experienced, and for the first time I was actually hitting the ball straight!
Victoria Shi
Ben has been an incredible coach for my family and I. He's very patient and has a very structured approach to teaching which makes it easy for us to make improvements to our game!
Roberto Paniagua
Had a great beginner lesson. Ben has a nice way of making you feel focused and comfortable at the same time…and the end result is a really fun experience. I look forward to my golf journey and am glad this is how it started.
Rush Marler
Ben is extraordinary! His teaching style is fundamental and impactful, and you can see progress throughout your sessions. One of the things I admire most about him is his empathetic approach to coaching.
Nancy Pellizzari
Ben was great, understanding and motivative. I really like to spend more time with him….it’s a pity my time was too limited but hope to improve my golf game with his words of wisdom
Losa Chinzah
I have been taking lessons with Ben since I started learning golf in June. He has been a huge help in kickstarting my golf game, ensuring I have proper technique, and fixing any errors that creep up. Even during my low periods, he is extremely encouraging and always gives sound advice on what I can improve. My game is so much better than what it was a few months ago, and I am very pleased with my progress. What I like about Ben is that he doesn’t get too in the weeds about how exactly each and every body part needs to move at all times. He focuses on the basics of correct lower body weight transfer, proper grip, engaging the ball through the whole swing, etc. and drills them home so that anyone can master them and fit them into their body’s natural movement. He gets bonus points for being personable and funny. If you’re a new golfer looking to take that next step or a seasoned golfer who has lost something in their swing, Ben will get the job done and set you on the right track!
Allison Pierce
I’ve worked with several golf coaches over the years, and he is by far the best. He combines deep knowledge with a patient teaching style that made every lesson both educational and enjoyable. His ability to simplify complex techniques helped me improve quickly while still keeping the game fun. I’d highly recommend him to golfers at any level.

chris johnson
I can’t recommend Ben Mutz highly enough! Working with Ben has been a complete game-changer for me. Not only is he an incredibly knowledgeable and skilled instructor, but he also has a rare ability to break things down in a way that makes the game feel approachable and fun. What stood out most was how much he focused on building my confidence on the course. He didn’t just teach me the mechanics of a swing—he helped me trust myself, play with more ease, and enjoy the game. Ben has a great balance of patience and positivity, and his teaching style made me feel comfortable from the very first lesson. Every session left me with clear takeaways, noticeable improvements, and a lot more belief in my abilities. Whether you’re brand new to golf or just want to refine your game, Ben is the kind of coach who makes the journey both productive and enjoyable. I’m truly grateful for everything I’ve learned and can honestly say that thanks to Ben, I walk onto the course with more skill, more confidence, and a much bigger smile!!!
Neha Patel
Awesome trainer. Ben does a great job of making a complicated game more simple. He gives great tips and is also very good at helping anyone at any skill level! I brought a group of eight people there for a 2 hour session and everyone had a great time and learned a lot. We will definitely be going back again!
Nathan Krogstad
Ben is a fabulous coach. I have taken classes with him for two years now and continue to learn and refine my game. His method is informed by a thorough analysis of the game which makes it easy to learn and achieve consistency. I thoroughly enjoy my classes with Ben and couldn’t recommend him enough!
Karla Flannery
I’ve been taking both group and private lessons with Ben for the past two years, and I can confidently say he’s the reason I now consider myself a golfer. When I first started, I was a complete beginner with no experience, but through his clear instruction, patience, and deep knowledge of the game, I’ve made steady progress and built real confidence. What sets Ben apart is his ability to tailor his teaching style to fit each student’s needs. In group lessons, he creates a positive, encouraging atmosphere while still providing personalized feedback. In private sessions, he breaks down the mechanics in a way that’s easy to understand and helps me focus on the areas that need the most improvement without ever making it overwhelming. He’s also great at keeping things fun and motivating—something that’s helped me stay consistent and actually enjoy the learning process. I’ve not only improved my swing, but I’ve also developed a genuine love for the game thanks to his guidance. Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to refine your skills, I highly recommend Ben. He’s a fantastic coach and mentor who truly cares about his students' progress.
Penelope Vamvakaris
Ben is an amazing coach! I took a lessons with my husband, who was a much better golfer than me, and Ben catered to our different skill levels flawlessly. I was a beginner level so building a foundation was crucial. By the end of our sessions I was a driving machine, had better aim and control over my swing. Couldn’t recommend Ben enough, we will definitely be booking more sessions in the future!
Maggie Vonderahe
Ben is a great teacher! He has taken my game to a new level, I have seen consistent improvement in my scores and even had my best round ever since taking lessons with him. He doesn’t focus on gimmicks that you see on social media but really makes sure you nail the fundamentals and the mental aspects. I will certainly be continuing lessons with Ben! I highly highly recommend, whether you are a beginner or scratch golfer, taking lessons from Ben!
Patrick Klir
I started golfing in spring of 2024 with no clue as to what I was doing. I took a package of lessons with Ben after he scouted me out at Diversey Range; he said “you’ve got a great swing but I could make you better.” Challenge accepted! Fast forward to a year later & I just broke 100 for the first time. Ben is not only an amazing teacher, but he’s dedicated to making you the best golfer you can be. His notes & videos are so useful, I still watch them to this day. Whether you’re new to golf, fine tuning skills or just want to learn from one of the best… Ben Mutz is your guy.
Marisa Ferrara
Ben is truly a great teacher of the game. He doesn’t overwhelm you with all aspects but takes it one drill at a time, ultimately, it all comes together. Trust the process. His lessons are worth every penny, 3 months in and still going strong and getting better every day. He is wonderful, do not hesitate to move forward.
Andrea Coffaro
Ben is a great coach. I went from never stepping on a course or driving range (other than one work event at Top golf) to being comfortable joining a few charity scrambles after taking his 5 class package for complete beginners. He makes it really accessible and starts at the very beginning - and doesn’t make assumptions about what you may know. Loved it so much I took the follow on class, which was just as good. He has a tonne of fun stories along the way too! Ben has got me hooked - because he made it enjoyable and removed too much technical stuff!! Thanks for getting me started, Ben!
robert grace
Ben was a great coach and really taught me how to understand and play the game of golf.
Kayla Vandenberg
Great coach! Really helped with more than just my swing, how you view each shot and think to play like a golfer
Max Powell
Great lesson.
Anthony Dalessandro
Taking lessons with Ben Mutz and attending his putting clinic has been a game-changer for my golf game. His clear, practical coaching has helped me make more consistent contact, develop a more dynamic yet simple swing, and drastically cut down on 3-putts. The putting clinic in particular provided me with a methodical approach on the greens, which has translated into lower scores and more confidence in every round. Highly recommend Ben to anyone looking to take their game to the next level!
Artur Kozlowski
Ben is excellent at explaining the basics in simple terms that are easy to understand and then use. I recommend Ben highly.
Scott Porterfield
Ben was on time, to the point and friendly to a almost 77 yr. old duffer. Worked on full swing with three points to work on. Enjoyed the 30 min. lesson and no more due to other physical issues. Looking forward to additional lessens
JAMES CAMINO
Just completed the 5 week “Get Golf Ready” program— had a phenomenal experience. Coach Ben teaches and preaches the fundamentals of golf, while instilling confidence in new golfers.
Greta Evavold
Ben is a fantastic instructor. I’ve literally never played golf before and he quickly and efficiently got me up to speed. I never in my lifetime would’ve thought I could hit a ball anywhere near a hole and he got me there in a few lessons, plus it was a lot of fun. He packs a lot in in a short period of time and although he’s been playing for decades and has taught the class countless times, it’s obvious how invested and dedicated he is to each individual’s learning. You get a lot of value for your investment. I can’t recommend Ben enough.
Tanya Rinsky
Great instructor, has changed my approach to the game and made me feel more confident in my back swing. Has definitely helped to lower my score even after 2 lessons
Tommy Mitchell
Had a great first lesson with Ben! I absolutely love his approach with how he instructs and look forward to more lessons!
Katie Duffy
My recent one hour golf lesson with Ben was very informative and helpful. He helped me improve my contact and alignment with my 7 iron. He provided tips that I could use with all of my clubs. He also began teaching me how to shift my weight properly. The videos he takes during the session are immediately beneficial and will aid when I refer back to them.
Cornell McCullom
Ben is a great Coach, the techniques he uses make common sense, and show results as long as you do the work. There is no magic bullet to improve, but if you learn the drills, and practice the drills you get results. Every time I take a class, I learn something new. Thank You Jim M.
James Manion
I’ve participated in 3 of Ben’s clinics: Swing, Putting and Chipping. I recommend them all. Ben explains his process in a way that’s easy to understand and take to the course for results.
Patrick McArdle
Thanks to my lessons with Ben my golf game has improved immeasurably. The focus on process and doing it the right way is exactly what I was looking for. You have to implement the lessons in your own practice and keep up with your practice, but Ben gives you the guidance you need and how to carry that through on your own. Trust the dimple, trust heel-tik heel-tok, and trust Ben. It worked great for me and I strongly recommend Ben.
Simon Juska
Ben is an amazing golf instructor! I took 5 golf lessons with my sister and her friend. We were all at the same skill set and saw definite improvements in our technical skill set. We became more comfortable with our swings and Ben’s fundamentals really helped our confidence. His instruction is easy to understand and remember! He answered all of our questions and took amazing videos throughout each lesson to demonstrate our positive progression. Thanks Ben for the lessons!
Christina Ho
Ben is extremely knowledgeable and an excellent coach! Highly recommend taking some lessons with him! I know I plan on continuing to train with him.

Very good instruction
Robert McDonald
In a single one hour lesson I improved my golf game by probably about 10x. Amazing teacher with a scientific and clearly proven teaching methodology. Great investment of both my time and money.
David Vernet
Ben Mutz has been a very positive coach for my golf swing and improved golf scores. He understood that my “problem “ with the driver was really a fundamentals issue. He suggested I enroll in his putting and chipping clinic, and through that clinic and the stress on basics and improving my fundamentals I found improvement in all areas of my game…even my driver! Thank you Ben!!
Stephen Rendon
My boyfriend and I completed 5 beginner lessons with Ben, and we are pretty happy with the progress. Ben is a talented, enthusiastic and empowering coach with very effective teaching methodology. I can’t speak highly enough about my experience with Ben, look forward to more.
Yile Liu
Ben is an amazing golf instructor who breaks the golf swing down in a way that makes it easy to understand. Each week, he introduces something new that builds on what we’ve already worked on. You can see and feel the improvement week to week. Highly recommend!
Anna Andrews
Ben takes it slow with his students and has a good sense of humor about teaching the fundamentals. I took the introduction level one class and I can safely say that my swings improved a whole bunch and that I learned quite a bit about chipping, pitching and putting. Well worth the cost of the class! Great teacher!
Gusta Gregor
I wholeheartedly recommend Ben as an instructor. His approach, grounded in consistency and repetition, stands out. Having previously taken lessons with various coaches, I often encountered conflicting advice. Ben’s methods, however, are always clear and easy to follow. Thanks to his guidance, I now feel confident on the golf course, see noticeable improvement, and have developed a deeper love for the game. I’m currently in my third 5-week session with Ben and continue to make progress. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced player, I highly suggest working with him. Thank you, Ben!
McKenzie Phillips
Ben is a phenomenal instructor, simply put. His knowledge and passion for the game are immediately apparent and he instructs with a high level of integrity. He truly believes in what he teaches and he makes it easy to get excited about learning golf. He is patient, kind, and funny and his love of golf is contagious. If you have any interest in learning golf, do yourself a favor and get a lesson from Ben!!
Josh Simon
Ben has been an incredible coach throughout my golfing journey. I started as a beginner, knowing nothing about the game and just after 1 lesson, I already had a wealth of knowledge. The sessions include 5 lessons and each lesson we receive in depth information about how to hold the club correctly, how to position your body correctly to ensure consistency in your golf game, and much more. I am now on my 3rd session of the summer (AKA almost 15 classes) and my golf game has improved tremendously. Ben is patient and is willing to answer your questions and work with you if you’re willing to put in the work. Thank you Ben for making Sunday mornings at the range fun and educational! If you’re thinking about taking lessons, book with Ben!
Madeleine Pickus
Ben is a great instructor. He explains things so clearly and simplifies golf concepts easily. He’s very patient and enthusiastic about coaching. Within 4 lessons, I’ve been able to reduce my score and hit mid-90s as well as be more confident in my golf game. I highly recommend Ben!
Thomas Tung
Ben has helped me understand the game at a deeper level. His approach to putting specifically has seriously improved my scores. With his coaching, I’ve been able to go from a 25 handicap down to a 9 in less than a year.
Noah Moon
Total beginner here with zero golf experience — took one lesson with Coach Ben before the season ended and loved it. Super patient and experienced, and for the first time I was actually hitting the ball straight!
Victoria Shi
Ben is a fabulous instructor! My husband and I came to Ben with zero golf experience and after five lessons we are gaining the confidence to continue learning the game. Ben is great at simplifying concepts and making you internalize the correct motions,which drives consistency.
Mia Guild
What I appreciated most was the hands-on approach. We spent a lot of time actually practicing the technique, which helped me feel more comfortable with my putter. Ben was patient, providing individualized feedback that really helped me improve throughout the session. The drills we were taught were practical and something I can continue practicing on my own. Overall, I walked away feeling much more confident in my putting abilities. This clinic was the perfect introduction for someone like me who’s just starting out. I’m excited to keep practicing and will definitely be back for more lessons in the future!
Warren Ragland
I had my first lesson with Ben on Friday and was so impressed that I immediately booked another one the day after. He’s spent years analyzing the game of golf and has developed a truly one of a kind approach to teaching that’s not only incredibly effective, but also very easy to understand. I’ve played for over 30 years and was completely blown away at how he was able to transform my short game after only two lessons. If you want to dial in your putting, make sure to take his $75 putting clinic. It will change your game. Don’t wait, book a lesson with Ben now. You won’t regret it.
James Vetrano
Ben was great, very personable and knowledgable. As a novice golfer, I feel like he helped me make an noticeable improvement with my swing in just one lesson.

james stearman
I’m a 3-5 handicap and was thrilled with my lesson with Ben. He talks about the swing in ways anyone can understand and get you hitting better shots with simple fixes. Highly recommend.
Mitch Mallian
Ben was a great teacher, after one lesson I can easily tell that I am hitting the ball better. We spent the lesson on correcting my form and by the end I was making great contact the ball consistently every time. He not only helps with the fundamentals but also explains the reasoning behind it. Will definitely be going back to Ben!
Tyler Harting
Ben is a tremendous teacher. I first had a lesson with him a year ago when I was shooting between 100-110. A year later I finally broke 90 utilizing what I learned from just that 1 session. I booked with him again for a second lesson and I’m glad I did. The lesson felt like I made even larger strides to becoming a great golfer. Will definitely recommend Ben for any level of golfer.

Stuart Ryan
Ben has been a great coach for myself. I’ve been playing for 3 months and he helped me go from a 118 to 102. My goal this summer is to break 90 and I will be 100% be using Ben to help me get there. He helped me think about the game of golf more than just hitting the ball. I took a lesson at the pga superstore before I saw Ben and it’s night and day. Ben is an amazing coach for all levels and I highly recommend
Joseph Cruz
Ben’s lesson was different than any other. He made huge changes in my swing that are making a significant difference. The best part is his techniques are easy to remember and keep you focused! Unbelievable!

Amazing 1st session. Made everything relatable and broke down the concepts. Ready to continue this to break 90 by end of summer
kermit tyler
Very personal and intelligent. You can tell Ben has a true passion for coaching. 10/10. Saw immediate improvement in his training!!
Samuel Price
I took Ben's putting clinic and it helped my golf game exponentially. I typically shoot in the high 80s and since the clinic have been shooting in the low 80s. I have yet to break 80, but have been consistently shooting 2 - 4 over par on 9 holes. His instruction was easy to understand and implementing it immediately saved me a bunch of strokes.

Leah Carpenter
Ben is an awesome instructor. I went from not knowing a thing about golf to being able to consistently hit the ball. Would highly recommend.
Mark Gaspar
Ben was an amazing instructor! He has helped my golf game so much. I have more confidence now. He can take you from never having hit a golf ball before to doing 9 rounds with confidence.

Shelley Spalding
Exceptional Golf Coaching Experience! Ben possesses a rare combination of technical expertise, patience, and genuine passion for the sport that truly sets him apart. His ability to assess my strengths and weaknesses and tailor their instruction to my specific needs was incredibly valuable. Whether I was struggling with my swing mechanics or seeking advice on course strategy, Ben always had insightful guidance to offer. What truly impressed me about Ben was his unwavering dedication to my improvement and his great personality. He didn't just teach us how to play better golf; he instilled in us a deeper understanding of the game and a mindset for continuous growth-as he says the “golf mindset”. The session was not only informative but also enjoyable, thanks to Ben’s positive attitude and supportive demeanor. He is so much fun to work with. Whether you're a beginner looking to learn the fundamentals or a seasoned player aiming to refine your skills, I wholeheartedly recommend Ben as the go-to golf coach.

Great at teaching beginners and getting you golf ready! Helps you understand how to learn golf so you can improve with practice on your own too.
Gina Champion
He was awesome! Looking forward to the future lessons with him!
Ryan Ahn
Ben is a terrific pro. I’m basically a total beginner. Have always enjoyed the game but been too embarrassed of my poor shots to play much with my friends. In a single lesson, Ben introduced me to a few of his simple methods that I can implement on every shot. He fixed my address, my stance, my movement, my focus and most importantly, my contact with the ball. Ben is the real deal, and his coaching is some of best money I’ve ever spent on golf.
Adam Feuer
I’m really enjoying golf lessons with Ben. He has method which really works for me. For the first time in a long time I know what I’m working on and I can practice those things and gain consistency. Makes going to the range a lot more fun. I’m progressing and I look forward to seeing how far I can go. I highly recommend Ben.
Pam Mischel
Fabulous putting lesson. Perfect blend of easy to follow self checks and thoughtful approach to hitting EVERY putt where you should. Learned more about distance control in one hour than I have in my entire golfing life. Stan Siuta
Stan Siuta
I came in as an 8 HCP and have lowered it by a stroke, just two rounds after my short game lesson with Ben Putz. His teachings are easy to understand, and I am the most confident I have ever been on the green. Book the lesson. Read his book. Put in the work. Lower your score.
Charles Galanti
Ben is an amazing coach to work with and highly recommend him for lessons! I bought Ben’s 5 lesson package, and the structure of the lessons were excellent, focusing on different body parts and what role they play in the swing. He is very flexible based on previous lessons and will tailor the lessons to focus on specific improvements to improve on my swing. I really enjoyed this personalized approach as he was able to spend time working out the issues that were causing a slice and provided me with the drills to make the changes a part of muscle memory. Ben provides great feedback through a written email based on what we covered, pictures and videos of when you were correctly and incorrectly following the lesson, and he forwards other videos of him where he covers specific lessons such as grip or ball position.
Jeffrey Gersch
Ben's coaching and instruction has been phenomenal. I came to Ben only having swung a golf club a few times, and he has transformed me into a consistent golfer. I highly recommend taking lessons with him!
Danielle Vario
I connected with Ben as a complete beginner and after only a couple of lessons Ben has given me the confidence I needed to get out and play 18 holes with friends much more experienced than I am. Ben is a fantastic instructor with a proven method that he applies during our sessions to help me improve my game. Also, he is kind and easy to work with. Overall, I recommend working with Ben for any golfer that is trying to improve and I genuinely am looking forward to more lessons with Ben soon!
Eric Osinski
I am so grateful I connected with Ben and can’t say enough good things about him. He is an amazing teacher with a step by step approach; I leave every lesson with a much improved swing and more confidence. I learned to use my lower body and weight transfer and can now hold my own on the course. I took his two hour putting clinic; with “back and through” and his distance method, my short game improved dramatically. He sends videos and homework to help between lessons. The best part is the Ben is kind, engaging and truly invested in helping you love golf.
Karen Jacobson
Ben was fantastic teacher for the first time golfer. he gave me great beginning lessons and cannot thank him enough. I will be booking again with Ben He is just a great person too.

I've golfed for many years and had some success, but there were times I wondered why I didn't. I decided to take a golf lesson, and took Ben's first lesson that focused on lower body activity. This taught me to not think about my upper body at all, and within minutes, I was hitting my 8 iron farther (and hitting my target) than I ever thought it could go! Within a few days of practicing, I went out with friends and played my best 9 holes ever! My score could have been even lower if I fixed my putting, so I ended up taking Ben's putting class. This was a life changer!! He teaches distance control like I've never heard before! I now have the confidence to 2 putt and stop the dreaded 3 putts!! Hello to finally breaking 90! With just a couple of lessons from Ben, I have drastically lowered my score and have the confidence to play like a real golfer. Thanks so much Ben!!!

I have worked with a couple of different golf coaches in Chicago and Ben is by far the best. He teaches the game in an approachable, organized, and intuitive manner. His experience and knowledge of the game allows him to coach players of all different skill levels. In addition to his teaching abilities, Ben makes the lessons enjoyable through his storytelling and great sense of humor.
Ryan Mannell
had a great time and felt a meaningful difference between beginning/end! will be back to make sure it sticks 🙂
Jake Robinson-Lieberman
We engaged Ben to teach a group of ~30 employees at our Bank as a part of a DEI / internal networking initiative. Ben was great to work with providing our group instruction, encouragement, and helpful takeaways to continue learning. Ben did a nice job catering to our group with a range of experience. All participants from those brand new to the game and others with years of experience walked away having learned something and improving their game. Looking forward to future lessons with Ben!
Kathleen Caffrey
Great instructor and great classes. The courses were perfect as a beginner with little knowledge on golf. Ben has an expertise and teaching method that made it engaging and more educational than any online instruction I had tried before. After 5 weeks I already felt comfortable and ready to actually golf with friends. Highly recommend any courses or lessons he offers.
Caden Fosnaugh
After only 7 lessons, “Dr. Mutz” has taken me from never swinging a golf club to consistently crushing my drives. He’s cracked the code for beginner golfers and given me the knowledge I need to continue improving
Beck Utigard
Ben is an awesome coach! I had never golfed in my life and after training with him for two months I have become a much stronger golfer and have the fundamentals I need to continue to improve my game. I’m looking forward to continuing to work with Ben in order to become a seasoned golfer!
Rebecca RYan
Coach Ben rebuilt my swing from the ground up—literally. He doesn’t just give you drills, he teaches you how teach yourself. He focuses on the fundamentals with easily digestible concepts and lessons taught with humor. I was very frustrated with my game when we started working together and now I have the confidence to play in competition. If you want to improve any aspect of your game, give Coach Ben a call!
Will Norman
Ben is an amazing teacher and so kind, and fun to work with. I am very much a beginner golfer and saw improvement in my swing and confidence within 15 min of the lesson. Would highly recommend
Anna Slovis
Ben is a fantastic instructor! I had only played one round of golf in my life and I wanted to learn the basics before I started golfing more with friends and family. I couldn’t reccomend booking sessions with Ben enough! He is crazy talented at golfing and does a great job of explaining the important aspects of the game. He was also very patient. Even if you don’t want to book a solo session, Ben gave everyone equal attention in the group sessions. If I wasn’t headed back to school, I’d be booking more!
Rama Hamad
As a first time golfer, Ben was an excellent instructor. His method of breaking down body positions and movements were easy to follow and remember. After just 10 weeks, I was able to hold my own for 9 holes with people who’ve played for years!
Brittany Cushing
Ben is a fantastic golf coach. He makes the game feel approachable and fun. Highly recommend lessons with him.
Amber Porter
Ben is an outstanding communicator and has a framework for learning a golf swing that really works. Looking forward to having many more lessons.
Roland Jacobs
Two months ago I picked up a golf club for the first time in my life, and had since then studied videos, guidebooks and had a lesson. Two days ago, in just a short 30 minute lesson, Ben helped me to unlock a deeper understanding of the game of golf that goes so much further than the mechanics, coordination and accuracy I had previously been focusing on. I came away excited about my potential, about the game and the journey, and look forward to more classes with Ben.
Elizabeth Breaden
Ben is an awesome coach! He has the innate ability to watch a golfer and provide the right feedback at the right time in a way that you can understand and apply. His concepts make sense and are applicable. Regardless of your ability or skill level. He is a lot of fun to work with. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with him and hope to continue working with him in the future.
Kristen Freund
Ben Mutz has been the best golf coach I could have asked for. My husband has always played golf and encouraged me to get into the sport. Ben is the first coach I’ve had for golf and I couldn’t have had a better experience. He really made everything extremely comprehensible. His communication and examples really have helped me become much, much better. His focus on the fundamentals has given me a great structure to only continue to improve my golf skills. I cannot stress enough how great of an instructor Ben is. Thank you, Ben!
Glenda Matias
Ben is a great coach. His detailed notes and videos every class is very helpful. He has his own proved and developed way of reaching. Love working with him. I’m a total beginner and has improved so much.
Carter Zhang
I have been been to countless lessons with other instructors and finally got to a point where my driving and irons were consistent, but when I found myself on the green then I was just playing mini golf. In 1 hour, Ben completely gave me a process and formula that I could follow every single time I putt. That is exactly what I was hoping to learn. No learning how to "feel" the putt, but Ben has an exact science that makes sense. Immediately, I know how to read a green and control my distance from his techniques. Highly recommend.
Andrew Young
Ben is a fantastic coach. Prior to my lessons, I had absolutely no golf experience but he was able to breakdown the complicated sport in a way that made sense. He not only helped me grow my skill set, but my confidence too!
Emma Vigne
As a beginner golfer that never had a lesson - Ben was able to give me the instructions, fundamentals & guidance to improve my overall golf swing, body movement and mentality. I saw immediate improving results on the course and would highly recommend!
BRANDON GROGAN
Ben was a great instructor, and super helpful and patient with first time golfers like myself. He has the relevant knowledge to tailor each lesson to each golfers' experience level. Ben's enhanced focus on golf fundamentals make it easy to eliminate the overthinking in your golf swing. My favorite part was the mid-week exercise plans and readings that really show Ben's commitment to his students. Thank you!
Mahdi Hammoud
Ben has been an amazing teacher - he took our entire class through a comprehensive and helpful introduction to golf. Even in the last 4-5 weeks, my game has improved significantly and that is a credit to his wonderful instruction. I would recommend any person looking to take up golf start with Ben!
Andres Fuentes-Afflick
While I've been playing the game for a while, Ben was my first formal golf lesson and I couldn't be more pleased. I went out the next weekend to play and had my best round in YEARS. Highly recommend.
Jeff Bikus
Ben is a great instructor for golfers of all levels. After working with him for a majority of a summer, I feel much more confident in my golf game. I cannot recommend him enough!
Victoria Willard
I hadn’t held a golf club in 20 years, never really played other than a few clinics back then, and needed to learn the basics as I’m supposed to play 9 holes soon. Ben had me hitting balls in the air during this first lesson, I liked his method of adding one thing to think about at a time. He took videos and is sending me “homework “ to do!
Dianne Goren Radtke
Ben is an excellent coach. I came to him with zero experience - literally never held a club before - and his coaching has given me an excellent introduction to the fundamentals of the game. He is patient and selfless with his knowledge and his time. I am moving out of town, but plan on taking lessons with every trip back. Book with Ben - you won’t regret it.
Ilya Ryaboy
He was amazing helped me with everything. I can’t believe there was so much I was missing. I have never hit a straight driver shot before and my first shot after working with him for about 30 was straight and far. If you are debating witch golf coach to get, this is the man for you!
Spencer Harris
It was a pleasure to be coached by Ben. He was patient. So very knowledgeable. He also gave me confidence that I can do this and get better! I can't wait to book another lesson with Ben soon.
Corrine Zartler
Ben is an excellent golf instructor! As a beginner who had never swung a golf club before, I felt a bit intimidated initially. However, Ben's instruction and encouragement put me at ease. During our final lesson, Ben specifically focused on putting. His knowledge and expertise in this aspect of the game helped me grasp its nuances. I saw improvements in both my technique and accuracy within the short time we spent on the practice green. I'm looking forward to continuing my golf journey and I highly recommend Ben to anyone seeking a strong starting point or aiming to elevate their game to the next level!
Elizabeth Mullis
Ben is a fantastic golf teacher. I've been golfing for a long time, but I'm at a point where I really want to improve my game. Ben started with some core issues that I just didn't realize I was doing wrong: pre-swing focus / targeting / weight shift / timing, etc. During the lesson I hit about ten balls in a row exactly where i was aiming, which was a first. Highly recommend, I'll be coming back for more lessons.
Mark Anderson
Amazing teacher and coach. Ben has helped my golf game tremendously.
Sajid Bhimani
Ben really narrows this complex game down to the basics. My swing and game has improved exponentially since working with him, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to become a better golfer. Added bonus that he’s funny too.
James Catizone
Best golf coach in Chicago. My game is seriously improved.
Dean Gastouniotis
Ben clearly conveys a straightforward approach to the golf swing. He focuses on fundamentals such as the the importance of footwork and weight transfer. He judiciously uses cell phone cameras to offer important feedback. I did not start with Ben but wish I had, ----Bill N
William Nelson
Ben has been a fantastic instructor. I would not be where I am with my golf swing without him.
William Vukasovic
Ben has been a wonderful golf coach. I came into the initial lesson with very little golf experience and after a handful of lessons I feel as if I have picked up a lot of tools to help my game. Definitely would recommend!
Dan Poncer
Ben does a great job of simplifying and providing answers to the most difficult and challenging parts of the swing...It took Ben about 5 minutes to look at my swing and help me correct flaws in my swing and weight shift that I've been battling since I started golfing.. His instruction is truly second to none.
David Lavin
Great, thorough lesson! Thank you so much!
Dee Levy
Ben is a great golf coach, especially for beginners. He paces the instruction in a way that makes it fun and easy to learn proper technique without getting overwhelmed by too much information. Even during group lessons he provides tailored feedback specifically for you to help you keep improving. Highly recommend!
Jessi Arthur
Ben is a great coach. He has great experience teaching all kinds of golfers. I feel much more confident and I can notice the improvement after taking a few lessons with him
Niket Panjwani
I've been taking golf lessons with Ben and they have been a massive game-changer! I started off not knowing the first thing about golf, but Ben's KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) method turned things around for me. He's got this super simple and effective way of teaching that's easy to follow, making the entire process fun and accessible. Seriously, if you're thinking about golf lessons, give Ben a try. Whether you're a total newbie or an old hand trying to up your game, Ben's got your back. It's a no-brainer - you're going to love it! ⛳ï¸ðŸ‘
Areeba Ahmed
My swing has significantly improved just after a couple of lessons with Ben. His style of teaching helps you understand/practice the fundamentals with him while providing drills to better yourself.
Matt Milbourn
Ben is an amazing teacher. He has a proven methodology and many years of experience. I have taken 6 lessons so far and have learned so much. My long game and my overall confidence level has improved so much. And now we are starting to work on chipping and putting. My golf partner and I will continue to take lessons with Ben. He is now part of our golf journey.⛳ï¸ðŸŒï¸â™€ï¸ðŸŒï¸â™‚ï¸
Ilene Lubell
Ben has a great approach to teaching the basics of golf. He can identify issues with your swing quickly and give a great basis for you to progress with your game.
Zane Staab
Ben's the man! He gave me tools that help my game immediately, and the knowledge to continue to grow beyond the lesson.
Nicholas Cramer
Ben is an absolute all star. I have done two early morning lessons with him. I’m a morning person and love this guys energy. He gives easy lessons that make sense and allows you to get out there. My golf swing and confidence has already improved drastically after just two lessons. Plus Ben is just a fun guy in general. If you choose any other instructor you’re missing out
Ashleyrae Katzbeck
I can’t say enough good things about coach Ben. He is passionate about the sport and loves helping people get better. I came to him with zero experience and could barely get the ball off the ground. Since my sessions with Ben my game has had a complete 180 degree change. His approach to the game from the mental and physical angles has helped me tremendously. Ben is also a good guy and makes the sessions fun and engaging.
Joseph Bergin
Brand new to golf at age 70. Already making better shots with more consistency than I thought I ever would. And I’ve only had 3 lessons! I have no one to compare him to, but the results are there, so I think he’s a great teacher. And a nice guy, makes lessons fun.
Steven Dritz
I'd never held a golf club until five weeks ago, when I started working with Ben. He is a great instructor! He breaks everything down in very digestible steps and is amazing at using visual cues to connect the mind and body. He's patient, encouraging and just really great to work with. He sends follow up notes and videos of my swing. I honestly can't say enough good things about him as a person and instructor. Highly recommend!
Jeanne Atkinson
I have taken 4 lessons with Ben so far and have seen GREAT improvement in my game in just a couple of weeks! His step by step approach breaks the golf swing down into pieces that are easy to understand. He gives you homework to work on after each session which has really helped me as well. There have also been instances where the weather did not cooperate, Ben was really accommodating in re-scheduling with no charge. You can tell by Bens teaching that he genuinely wants to see you improve, and I have!! 🙂 Pro tip: buy the 5 lesson package because you’re basically getting a lesson for free if you do so!
Beebe Rose
Ben is a terrific coach and swing instructor. His easy to follow step by step guide made it incredibly simple for me to change my swing and elevate my golf game. Highly recommend.
Malachi Mitchell -
Ben is an excellent coach. I've booked a trial lesson and benefited greatly, so purchased an entire package. He knows how to teach beginners, offers constructive criticism, is very encouraging, and is very invested (sends notes and vidoes, and helped me with buying clubs and gave recommendations). Looking forward to taking more lessons with him.
Hatoon Attar
I recently had my first lesson with Ben and I am super excited to book more. He is very knowledgeable and explains concepts in ways that are very easy to understand. He takes videos of your swing and form on his phone so you can track and see your improvement over time, which is awesome. Also sent a whole list of notes over after our lesson. You can tell he really wants his students to get better.
Catherine Arendt
Ben is a connoisseur at connecting your mind with your body. I found my lesson extremely insightful and appreciated the drills I was given to do at home as well as the notes I received to better understand what I can continue working on!
Nathaniel Marquez
Ben is an excellent golf coach! He’s studied the mechanics of the golf swing and spent years perfecting his teaching method. Working with pros in the past always left me feeling overwhelmed and confused about what to focus on, but Ben makes everything simple and I’ve never hit the ball better in my life. I recommend Ben to everyone who plays golf, regardless their level of experience.
amelia roberts
Ben has been a great instructor for our group lessons.
Sulieman Ali
If you are new to golf and looking to learn the fundamentals, Ben Mutz is the teacher for you. He breaks down the golf swing by micro-fundamentals, and when you put them all together, he has helped to build you a golf swing from the ground up. His lessons, follow-up lesson notes and weekly at home practice items all aid in your learning. He is responsive over text and is really the ideal golf teaching professional. In my first 5 lessons I went from not being able to hit the ball more than 50 yards to having the confidence to play 18 holes of golf and thoroughly enjoy myself! Ben teaches you how to teach yourself, so really you're getting lessons for a lifetime.
Scott Grubczak
Easy to understand and knows what he's talking about
Jahred Zmolek
Ben was great with our 11 year old grandson!
Nan Winner
I purchased a full package with Ben after a single session. In those few lessons, he fixed my swing and taught me the proper fundamentals. I'm now hitting the ball with a better flight and shape and more consistent than I ever have. I highly recommend working with him! Make sure you practice between sessions and do your mirror exercises to get the most out of these sessions.
Douglas Strnatka
Ben is a true “teacher”. His instruction elevates both technique and the mental side of golf. Incredibly helpful and very friendly.
Mike Hengelmann
My golf lessons with Ben are great. I’ve seen such improvement in only 2 lessons. Highly recommend!
Kara Clark
Outstanding Golf Instruction with Ben Mutz! I had a fantastic experience receiving golf instruction from Ben. His humor added a fun element to the lessons, while his focus on techniques over immediate results was impressive. He also provided valuable resources for further study. I highly recommend Ben for anyone looking to improve or start their golf journey.
Angelique Smith
He's motivating and a good coach for both beginners and more advanced golfers.
William Wheelhouse
Ben is fantastic! 1 lesson in and I have already addressed multiple bad habits effecting my swing. Having had a very poor golf teacher many years ago - Ben is a night and day difference. Already booked 5 more lessons. Highly recommend.
Joseph Zelenak
An absolutely excellent golf teacher
Philip Lindberg
Ben is a great teacher of the entire golf game. From putting to the full swing he knows how to improve any students game. He keeps it simple and he is straight to the point on how to improve.
Bennett Shocklee
Ben is an exceptional golf coach. I took his level 1 class with little to no golf experience. After just one class, I felt a huge improvement in my game. After his entire level 1 class, my golf swing and golf knowledge has grown tremendously. His lessons are well-rounded and his methodology really works. If you’re looking for an experienced, solid golf coach, Ben is your guy.
Olivia Contractor
Had a great lesson with the goat! Very knowledgeable, friendly and professional. Highly recommended
nedal kawash
Ben is a very good instructor. He has fixed my mechanics on my swing. His biggest strength in which he wrote the famous book “putt to par” is his easy way to lower any golfers score. Simply amazing simple ideas!
Marty Henning
Ben is an amazing coach. I've started to like the game mainly because of his teaching - His teaching style is very practical and he has this knack of teaching the game in such a way that you enjoy the game as you learn. I would totally recommend the training sessions under Ben for anyone who is new to Golf. I was able to see the progress after every session. These are his words, 'My main goal is to teach you how to teach yourself how to play golf'. And he's done a very good job at it!
ARUN SACHITHANANDAM
Ben is the best instructor I’ve ever had! He patiently explained the mental aspects of golf so that the physical follows. It was a fun, super informative lesson that I look forward to continuing! I couldn’t recommend Ben more!
Mary Hoglund
Hi Ben, it’s Phyllis V. Golf has been the most fun since I took your classes! My awareness of the body part to body part has allowed me to strike the ball better, consistently, and more accurately, My short game and putting has improved more than I can explain. Dimple, dimple, dimple is the name of the game. Keeping it simple allowed me to get the most out of my game. It is fun!! It really works. Best money and time spent with you an my instructor, thank you!!
Phyllis V.
Hi Ben, played Broken Arrow today. 46 on the front south and 51 on the north! Thanks again for the good instruction earlier this year.
Grandma Nancy P
Dear Ben, I found your clinic very helpful in many ways. Judging distances, the stroke, the proper grip and etc. Thanks again.
John Coleman
Dear Ben, I would just like to take the time to say how helpful you clinic has been to both myself and my dear cousin. We both now have similar things that we look out for such as the dimple and positioning. knowing why one would do something as oposed to just doing it really helps. We look forward to continuing this excursion for years to come with the ease and comfort that has been passed down to us from you. Again, thank you for yout time and patience. your knowledge of the game and wisdom with metaphors really helps. Keep doing what you are doing because if your clients see that you love, they will also. Melissa Lawrence-Banks
Meliss Lawrence
I’d like you’re putting technique it’s help me very much with distance control. I had 27 putts and shot 75 for 18 holes thanks again for everything
Mike Grein
Ben, I loved your one-on-one driving lessons that I took last year. My golf game has improved tremendously and friends have definitely noticed! However, I did not get as much out of the group putting clinic, because of a few factors. People kept coming late after the lesson started, you had to repeat things, the group grew too big, then it got dark before I felt comfortable with the lesson details and practice. But overall, I think you are a great golf coach. Thanks a bunch!
Toni Yadron
I have taken your driving lesson and putting lesson in the past two months. I thought you delivered the information very clearly and concise to assist in the learning process of how to learn the game of golf and how to continue to improve. The dimple and positioning has helped in my driving and the approach to putting has made me a better putter. On the average prior to the lesson for putting, I was averaging 3 to 4 putts at every hole. I was out on Oct 29, 2013, and I was averaging 1 or 2 putts on the holes. my Iron play is much better since I started practicing in the mirror. I played a round of nine holes in Mokena, Il and shot a 45 out of a possible 36. By bring my putts down, I was able to score lower than my usual 59 to 70. Thanks for the valuable demonstration and information provided.
Tony Gentry
Ben, I am so glad that I have taken your Driving, Putting and Chipping Clinics. My scores have been dropping ever since. My hits off the tee have been more consistent and my short game have improved a lot.
Frank S
Ben Thanks for helping me out with my total golf game. Your teaching helped me drop 5to8 strokes off my game. I hope you have some lessons in 2014 for those of use that took the first five lessons in 2013 Thanks Again. MIKE
mike krutilla
I loved your putting clinic. Having the definite “numbers” to work with as opposed to endlessly trying to get “a feel for the putt” made a huge difference to how I approach putting. The instruction to walk off every putt is also a great theory. Thanks so much.
Judy Bolotin
“I recently purchased a Groupon for lessons with Ben. I am new to golf and Ben really put me at ease and helped me to realize that I had natural ability. He understands the golf swing really well and is truly passionate about the game. His message is simple, intelligent, and genuine. I look forward to continuing to work with Ben as I try to improve my game next summer”.
Sean Strother
I thought all of the clinics were great. While I did not take lessons from anywhere else, I cannot imagine any other clinics being more beneficial. The main reason for this is how much instruction you provide at such a low cost. The small group clinics that you run are, in my opinion, even better than individualized instruction because it allows for golfers to get more repetitions on everything that is being taught (and in a longer lesson – 90 minute sessions as opposed to a typical 30 or 60 minute session). If there is any critique that I could make it would be to introduce the proper grip of the golf club earlier in your Swing clinic – in #3 as opposed to #5. While I’m sure your reason for not introducing it until the end is based in sound golf logic using knowledge I surely don’t have, from the perspective of someone like myself, having known that proper grip earlier on when I was learning the basics of the swing could have had some advantages. For example, while I understand that your goals for us are not exactly results-oriented at first, I feel as if had I known the proper grip earlier on, I could have used the results to more appropriately gauge whether I was applying what you were teaching at the time correctly. Overall, though, I really thought the lessons were exceptional. I will definitely reach out to you again early on next summer for a few more to freshen up on my mechanics before I start playing again.
Mike Chmielewski
Ben, I enjoyed all of your lessons. The one I use most is your putting lesson. It has helped me greatly. I bought some dvd’s of Martin Chuck’s method from Revolution Golf and have found that method more helpful in the driving and iron shots. He basically plays ALL balls off the left foot area and teaches a swing as if you had a hula hoop being held out from your body at a 45 degree angle and striking the ball at the bottom of the hula hoop. I getting there. Playing better than I was at the start of the season. Ron Karlic
Ron Karlic
I never got the chance to thank you for the serendipity I experienced on the green after your putting clinic. My confidence has exploded on the green and my scores reflect that. I’ve still got a bit of practicing to do but now I have a routine and no longer quiver over 10 foot putts. I absolutely love pacing off a 50 footer and watching the ball roll just as I imagined. You weren’t kidding when you said you were going to pack it into 90 minutes! I’ve been a golfer for many years but never taken the time to learn to putt. On the green, I was always going for feel because I had nothing else to rely on– until I learned your framework. I am very much indebted to you! Among many other reasons, I was particularly impressed by the progression of the lesson. In the beginning you set us up to fail, stripped us of any pre-conceived notions that we knew how to putt, and then taught us the framework from the ground up. I remember thinking in the beginning, this isn’t going to do me any good- I just don’t get it. And then, as soon as we started putting the pieces together, it all made sense and I’ve never looked back. I think that was one of the most important and impressive parts of the clinic. Thank you for the clinic, Ben!
Brent
Ben, I do believe you helped my game and will continue in the spring with your lessons.
Gene
Ben, I liked your putting instruction because it was simple and easy to remember. It gave me a guide for distance on each putt, not just a feel. Unfortunately I couldn’t work in the chipping into my schedule this season but looking forward to, as soon as I can. Thank you Ben!
Pat Casey
My scores have improved. The chipping lesson definitely helped. This was one of the weaker parts of my game. This lesson simplified this part of the game for me. The putting lesson also helped my game. I have not mastered the methodology but I definitely approach each putt more methodically looking at the break, speed and distance . I need to put more practice time into putting.
Joe
Ben, thanks for making the game fun again. I walked away for many years, but now have a renewed passion. Your sense of humor…and straight forward method are a great combo. Cheers!
Dan K
Ben, I enjoyed and learned from your putting and chipping clinics. I am looking forward to even more improvement next year with additional sessions. Thanks, Al
Al
I have taken lessons from numerous instructors some even ranked in golf digest top 100 teachers and I have to say that Ben Mutz has a very inspiring approach . Communication is the key along with content of course but to really get it you need to understand the meaning . Ben will help you . Worth every penny
Brad wise
The lessons I have learned from Ben have been very helpful. I feel confident walking on the green and making a putt. The straightforward teaching made it easy for me to understand and implement right away. I have seen strokes drop from my score card because of Ben. Thank you.
John B
Ben, my game has definitely improved because of your lessons. I have taken your full swing, putting, chipping,and individual training playing 18 holes with you and two other students. I have taken lessons from pros from Odyssey, Cog Hill, Silver Lake golf courses. By far your instructions were the best. I learned a great deal. The difference is that you actually teach a method. Your methods of putting and full swing actually work to improve anyone’s game. Thank You.
Don Ski
I liked your instruction because I think less during my putting stroke, and I have more confidence that I will hit the putt with the correct speed. I was between a 3-4 handicap before your lesson, now I am a 0-2. I make a lot more putts and have more confidence making putts 15ft and under. One of the problems I had, preventing me from shooting par or under, was my putting. I averaged 30-32 putts. I would always think too much about my speed. But, with your way, I know the speed will be right without thinking too much. Since the lesson, I average about 25-28 putts. Granted my chipping has also been better, but I make at least 2-3 more putts, per 18 holes, than before. The last 4 times playing, I haven’t shot over par. Like today, I shot an even par with 4 birdies on 8 GIR. Before, it was hard for me to make more than 1 birdie per 18 because I couldn’t make anything over 5 feet. Since the lesson, I am averaging about 2-3 birdies with confidence that I can make anything under 15ft.
Brett
For beginners or grinders who want to take their golf game to the next level AND are wasting strokes on the putting green using a ‘feel’ approach but do not have time to practice, Ben’s putting clinic is a great two hour session that provides you a methodology to become a more analytical and consistent putter, gives you the foundation to improve incrementally each time you find time to practice, and gives you the confidence to shave strokes on the course. In the time it takes to play nine holes on a good day, not only will Ben change how you mentally approach putting, but also he will give an easily repeatable putting stroke that will help you hone your distance control and consistency that removes any vestiges of ‘sight and feel’ putting – a simple ‘reframe’ for me that has made all of the difference. Furthermore, I am already applying concepts I learned in this clinic to other parts of my short game. At this GroupOn price, the value exceeds the cost. I would recommend this clinic to anyone who is serious about improving their golf game by becoming a putting master but don’t have the means or hours to practice as often as you would like to.
