Natalie Vivaldi is a PGA Professional, competitive golfer, and player development coach based in Oceanside, California, where she offers instruction and player development at Goat Hill Golf Course.

An Oceanside native, Natalie’s love for the game began nearly 20 years ago at Goat Hill Park, learning to play alongside her grandfather. That early connection to the course and community sparked a lifelong passion for golf. As a junior, she competed in local tours and events — experiences that shaped not only her competitive drive, but also her deep commitment to junior development and growing the game.

Natalie earned a college golf scholarship, competing for the University of Colorado at Boulder before transferring to and graduating from San Diego State University in 2017. She turned professional that same year, competing on the Symetra Tour and in various professional events. After several years pursuing her playing career, Natalie earned her Class A PGA Professional status and shifted her focus toward coaching and player development.

Over the past seven years, Natalie has built a strong reputation as a passionate coach and mentor, designing intentional, well-rounded player development programs for juniors, women, and competitive players. She is known for creating environments that emphasize skill development, confidence, character, and a genuine love for the game.

In 2026, Natalie will also serve as the Tournament Director for the North County Junior Golf Association (NCJGA) — a full-circle role with the organization that helped shape her own junior golf journey.

Her work on and off the course has been recognized with multiple honors, including:
