Darren Howard

PGA Director of Golf

My golf career has taken me to many places, granting me the opportunity to meet, play with and teach all types of golfers. My experience ranges from complete beginners to avid golfers, including college golfers, mini-tour and tour players. I have been fortunate to have been named a Ping Regional Fitter of The Year twice and PGA Chapter Teacher of the Year four times. I learn something new every time I give a lesson and try to keep instruction simple for my students. My most fulfilling times on the lesson tee are when I see a student hit the ball in the air on the “sweet spot” for the first time.

Brad Donahue

Head Golf Professional

I have a great passion for teaching golf to everyone — from beginners swinging a golf club for the first time to golfers striving to win their club championship. For every student, my goal is to help them enjoy the game more than when we started. I try to keep lessons simple and clear so that students can take the concepts straight to the practice range or the golf course. I am an experienced tournament golfer who had a successful college career and won the Pacific Northwest Assistant Professional Championship in 2022. I can help experienced players with their competitive mindset, course management and consistency in competition. I also take a lot of pride in building a great junior golf program and molding the future of our game. We strive to make our PGA Junior League program fun for all while teaching core golf skills, golf etiquette, respect for the game and how to work with others.
