  Dylan Crowley

Operation36 Academy Director/Lead Instructor

Assistant Golf Professional

Outside Services Manager

 [email protected] 

Dylan has been in the golf industry for some time, starting with some instruction at Heron Lakes with John Bowen. John took an interest in Dylan and had him start at Heron Lakes in the golf shop, player services, and as an instructor. After working there, he found a position at Waverley Country Club in the golf operations, and then finally made the move to Quail Valley in 2021. He was a talented soccer player growing up, had some injuries, and took up golf as a new sport to excel at in his 20’s.

Dylan has been able to see and participate in varied golf operations and has honed his talents and interests during that time. He provides private lessons focusing on swing mechanics, chipping techniques, and putting. Additionally, he enjoys teaching both beginner and intermediate golfers sharing his passions for the sport. He serves as the Academy Director and Lead Instructor for the Operation36 Golf program, which offers juniors, ladies, and adult co-ed class options. Dylan also leads the “Future 36ers” class for 3–6-year-olds, which is a demographic that the west side of Portland could use more coaching in.
