Private Golf Lessons in Austin, TX
One-on-one coaching with a private golf instructor at Balcones Country Club in northwest Austin — built around your swing, your schedule and your goals, from a team led by former professional golfer Francis Biondi.
Who private golf lessons are for
Private lessons suit golfers who want a coach's full attention: adults picking up the game, weekend players trying to break 100 or 90, and competitive players chasing single digits. No two swings are the same, so no two lesson plans are either. You work one-on-one with your coach, and the plan is shaped around what your game actually needs rather than a stock lesson script.
Beyond Golf Performance is a team of TPI-certified coaches delivering golf coaching, led by Director Francis Biondi, with coaches including Austin Lim, Steven Zavala, Sam Schmidt and Alex Hernandez. Because you're coached by a team with one shared system, your progress isn't held hostage to one person's calendar.
Your first session: the new student assessment
Every private student starts with the Initial Assessment — 60 minutes at Balcones Country Club for $150. It's how your coach learns how you move, how the club moves and how the ball responds before writing your plan.
- A 1-hour full-bag look at putting, short game, wedges and full swing
- Foresight launch monitor data and video swing analysis
- A clear plan for what to work on first, plus your first fixes
- A custom training program and REPS app access
How private coaching works after that
After the assessment, your coaching follows The Pathway: eight phases, each made up of five one-hour sessions. Every phase starts with a TPI body session, continues with three technique sessions, and finishes with an on-course session where you put it together. Most golfers complete a phase every 6–10 weeks.
Sessions use video analysis and Foresight launch monitor data, so you and your coach can see why the ball does what it does, not just guess. A single one-hour private lesson is $150, and when you enroll in an eligible lesson package after your assessment, the assessment fee is credited toward your coaching plan.
Between lessons you practice with REPS, our practice app. Tell ChatBGP what you want to work on and it builds a personalized practice plan from the same drill library our private students use. The free plan includes 3 personalized practice plans and 1 Video Swing Check each month, and Swing Checks are reviewed by a real BGP coach.
Mind, Body and Technique
Private coaching at BGP covers the whole golfer. Technique work builds a swing blueprint unique to you, TPI mobility screening shows how your body affects your swing, and mental-game work — visualization, pre-shot routines and focus under pressure — helps your scores match your practice.
