Trillium Rose is a certified teaching professional and the Director of Instruction at Woodmont Country Club in Rockville, Maryland. A dedicated coach who teaches daily, she has worked with thousands of golfers—from beginners to elite players—helping each one develop skills that last.

Known for her deep understanding of swing mechanics, motor learning, and effective practice, she takes a clear, practical approach that consistently helps players reach their goals.

Her teaching background began at the Jim McLean Golf School in Miami in 2006, where she was immersed in one of the game’s most rigorous instructional environments. Over time, her curiosity led her beyond traditional coaching and into the science behind performance—studying golf club dynamics with TrackMan launch monitors, exploring movement patterns in 3D with golf biomechanist Dr. Rob Neal, and examining the research in motor learning and control. This multidisciplinary foundation gives her a strong ability to translate complex concepts into clear, practical coaching that helps every player move, think, and perform more effectively.

Trillium lives in Washington, D.C. with her husband and daughter. In her spare time, she enjoys cooking and ice hockey.

Even more important than her technical skill is her care about my enjoyment of the game and her ability to make sure we never forget the joy that comes from a great shot and a fun round of golf."
