Iain Highfield took the helm of the Bentley men's golf program in Aug. 2024. In just his second year, the Falcons qualified for the NCAA East/Atlantic Regional during the 2025-26 season. That season, first-year Falcon Jack Kantowski placed second in the NE10 Championship. Kantowski earned All-NE10 First Team, and he was a Cobalt Golf All-America Scholar. John Noonan earned an All-NE10 Third Team nod in 2025-26.
Highfield also serves as the Director of KOHR Golf in Natick. He is a recognized expert in creating high-performance environments.
As the Director of KOHR Golf, Highfield has created and upheld a vision, mission and culture that will help KOHR golf students strive towards their goals and dreams. He has designed and led an evidence-based athletic development program, and has recruited, retained and managed a team of coaches and administrators.
From 2017 until early 2024, Highfield ran his own consulting firm. The golf practice expert designed practice programs for professional golfers on three major golf tours and was featured in Golf Digest and on the Golf Channel. He also created a psychological conditioning program that has been used by athletes and sporting academies all over the world.
“I’ve traveled a great deal during my career, but have now settled in Massachusetts,” said Highfield, who is living on the South Shore. “I’ve fallen in love with Massachusetts. It excites me to be able to coach so close to home.”
Highfield, the author of three books, has been a performance consultant with the Canadian women’s national team, The University of Georgia, the University of Missouri and the University of Mercer, and has been a lecturer at Penn State.
