Sam DeSchepper

A PGA Golf Professional and longtime member of the Temecula golf community, Sam DeSchepper has been connected to the game locally since 1997, when he played his first-ever round at Temecula Creek Golf Club. Today, he coaches golfers of all ages and skill levels, from first-time players to experienced golfers working to lower their handicap or prepare for competition.

Sam’s coaching philosophy starts with a simple belief: golf is tough, so give yourself some grace. Rather than handing players a list of swing fixes, he helps them understand their own movement, ball flight, and fundamentals so they learn how to recognize patterns and make adjustments with confidence. His lessons are personalized, informative, and focused on helping every golfer play better while enjoying the process.
