Natalie Vivaldi

Natalie Vivaldi is a PGA Professional, competitive golfer, and player development coach with deep roots in Oceanside, California. Her connection to Goat Hill Park began nearly 20 years ago, when she learned the game alongside her grandfather — an experience that sparked a lifelong passion for golf, competition, and community.

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, before earning her Class A PGA Professional status and shifting her focus toward coaching and player development.

Over the past seven years, Natalie has built a strong reputation as a passionate coach and mentor, known for creating intentional programs that emphasize skill development, confidence, character, and a genuine love for the game. In 2026, she will also serve as Tournament Director for the North County Junior Golf Association — a full-circle role with the organization that helped shape her junior golf journey.
