Ready to learn golf or level up your game? Arizona Biltmore Golf Club has just introduced a new chapter in its long-standing golf legacy, announcing an elevated instruction program in partnership with the premier instruction and performance training organization Combine Golf Academy. The initiative brings a more modern, performance-driven approach to player development, with programming designed to serve golfers at every level.
The program offers private instruction, player development programs, junior training pathways, and dedicated options for women and beginners. The curriculum also incorporates technology-driven swing analysis alongside structured practice and performance training.
It is led by Joe DiChiara, founder of Combine Golf and the club’s newly appointed director of instruction. A PGA professional with more than 22 years of coaching experience, DiChiara has worked with players ranging from beginners to major champions on both the PGA and LPGA Tours. He has also been recognized by Golf Digest as a Top Ranked Coach for four consecutive years and is a member of the TaylorMade National Fitting Council, an invitation-only group of the top 50 club fitters in the United States.
He is joined by a team of instructors that includes Kennedie Montoya, a former Division I player at Grand Canyon University and New Mexico State University, and Thomas Lehman, who competed collegiately at Texas Christian University and California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo. Together, the group brings both competitive experience and a focus on player development to the new program.
According to club leadership, the partnership reflects a broader effort to enhance the overall golf experience while making instruction more accessible and results-oriented.
“Our goal is to make golf more accessible and enjoyable for every player who comes through the program,” says Leo Simonetta, director of golf at Arizona Biltmore Golf Club. “Partnering with Combine Golf allows us to provide clear, personalized instruction that builds confidence and helps players improve their game.”
Located within the Biltmore Estates community, Arizona Biltmore Golf Club features two 18-hole courses—the Estates Course and Links Course—along with a full-service golf shop and Adobe Bar & Grille, which overlooks the course. The property sits adjacent to the Arizona Biltmore and remains one of the Valley’s most established golf destinations.
