GolfZilla Owner, Dan Herren

My name is Dan Herren, and I love golf. I love the game itself, the rules, the history… everything. I was born and raised in a small farming community in Iowa, not far from the Field of Dreams. I grew up playing golf on a rural 9-hole course called Fawn Creek Country Club where the “student” rate for membership was $30.00 per year. That was the rate I paid from the time I was twelve (when I started playing) until I finished college. Some of my fondest, and funniest, memories took place while I was playing golf with my friends on that course. That is probably what fuels my love for the game.

In the late 90′s, I became a little bored with my career, which involved way too much time sitting at a desk, so I decided to open a golf store. I wanted my store to be different than the other stores that I knew. Sure I wanted to offer great golf products at competitive prices, who doesn’t? But I also wanted my store to have the look, warm feel and excellent service of a golf club pro shop. It is honest, friendly service that I believe is most important, and that is what we strive for every day at GolfZilla. We call it MONSTER SERVICE.

MONSTER SERVICE comes in many forms…a pleasant, inviting atmosphere; a friendly, knowledgeable, experienced staff that is focused on making customers feel welcome; a DEMO PROGRAM that allows customers to “try before they buy” and free club fitting with the purchase of clubs. In general, my goal was to create a store with great prices and an atmosphere that lets customers know that their business is truly appreciated. I think my staff and I accomplished that goal. We hope you agree.

Our store is located in Coralville, Iowa and it opened on December 7, 2000. The store offers a full line of golf products from the major vendors in golf.
