HIGHLAND PARK GOLF COURSE
Alabama's Highland Park Golf Course was originally established in 1903 as the Country Club of Birmingham, making it the oldest golf course in Alabama. Highland Park has been the site of many important golf events including one of renowned golfer Bobby Jones’s first victories. The Highland Park facilities - golf course, adjoining tennis club, clubhouse facilities, etc. - are all located in the heart of one of Birmingham's favorite neighborhoods. The Highland Park area has grown significantly over the past decade as the city of Birmingham continues to revitalize the Downtown Area.
Highland Park was recently ranked in the top 30 for best municipal courses in the United States! Don’t be fooled by the 5,800-yard, par-70 scorecard: elevation changes, creeks, lakes and plenty of movement on the small greens make the course play longer than you might think, while not robbing the design of any of its quirky fun.

Nike Golf Camp was a great experience for my two children. Wonderful, positive coaches that mix fun games with good instruction. My kids enjoyed each day and look forward to returning next year.
It was an awesome experience all around! Make it one more day so that it is a full week!
Walter loves golf and the camp reinforced for him fundamentals and the fun of the sport.
Henry did not want to attend. After the first day it was his favorite camp all summer. We played golf 3 days after camp v. 3 days with Henry this whole summer!
Coach Paul was great with the kids and really focused on teaching them the fundamentals and on helping them improve. We were happy to have a small group this week. We love the award ceremony and the detailed information Coach Paul gave to us on our son. It was very impressive!!!
She had a blast, made a new friend, and got a great insight on her swing
Johnny is a new golfer and at 8 years old really late to get started but everyone made him feel welcome and he improved a lot during the week. Most importantly to me, he came home every day talking about how much fun he had!
James had the time of his life at the Nike Golf Camp. He really took to golf and is now asking to play all the time. Coach Paul was kind and knowledgeable making a great experience all the way around. He enjoyed learning with friends, the food, and the water balloon fight! What a great week!
It reignited his love of playing golf. He had a good time with all the different games/skill competitions.
My son got great individual instruction during his camp experience and enjoyed it immensely. It's actually sparked a desire in him to practice more and get better.
I was extremely impressed with both their handling of camp instruction and supervising children. I could tell immediately my grandsons skill levels have improved. Chris provided valuable feedback on club fitting and areas to have our grandson focus on. I have already recommended this camp to others. Great camp. Great experience. Thanks!
Beau had such a great week and learned a lot. Paul puts such care into each golfer, and Beau truly respects him. I couldn’t believe the evaluation form he filled out for Beau. He provided such thorough feedback to help Beau improve his game. We so appreciate it and will definitely be back next year!
Great week. He only had 2 or 3 lessons prior to camp. He enjoyed camp so much.
After the first day Myles was really excited about his day and what he learned. He practiced in our yard for 2 hours. This continued through the week. We plan to send Myles back again this summer.
Drop off and pick up was super easy, the kids had a blast during the camp
This was Jack’s first exposure to golf and he both learned a lot and had the best time. He attended a number of sports camps this summer and he had the best time at golf camp.
Jackson really enjoyed the camp!
My two little ones needed a good introduction to golf and this couldn't have been a more positive experience for them. They came home each day excited about golf and eager to go back the next day.
Great combination of skills with fun for an 8 year old girl!!
Coaches were very supportive of each of the campers and made it fun for them. They were also very appreciative of the parents who encouraged their kids to attend.
He was happy to be back out on the course playing and being around some other kids. Camp was a great learning experience which enhanced his golfing education.
Grayson did not have prior golf experience. When we picked him up after the first day he was extremely excited to tell us all about it and his new love for the game of golf. The excitement continued throughout the week, especially on Wednesday when the group went to Top Golf. Overall great experience and looking forward to attending again next summer.
Paul and Zack were patient and attentive coaches. Mason had a great time and really fell in love with golf during the camp. I would recommend to a friend and Mason will attend in the future.

It reignited his love of playing golf. He had a good time with all the different games/skill competitions.
He liked the chipping practice and the water battle to cool down.
Our daughter had a great time and her interest in golf improved.
Coaches were friendly and organized. They gave daily feedback.
Coach Paul is very well with children. Thank you!
Paul and his staff did an outstanding job training and entertaining the campers.
My child's enjoyment and new interest in the sport because of how well the camp was ran.
Coach went out of his way to make sure my daughter, the only female camper, felt comfortable. She had a great time!
A restored attitude of fun that he had lost in competition. And the opportunity to play at Pebble Beach because he ranked 2nd overall for camps held at Highlands!
Went into it thinking it would be all about golf. Which would have been fine because 6-year old Carter lives and breathes for golf right now! We quickly realized it was a "camp" and Carter really enjoyed it! Paul and his staff did an amazing job!
Adam had a good time playing with kids his age and focusing on golf skills for a concentrated period of time.
Reese had fun and playing with kids his own age helped him. We would like to look into more clinics and or lessons where he can develop his swing.
He is a shy and introverted child by nature and really enjoyed learning a new skill at camp. He felt encouraged.
The camp was more of a playground for some of the golfers. You might want to think about raising the age. My son loves golf and has been playing for a while, but some of the other children were a big distraction and the coaches acted as if they were not concerned about teaching them the manners that go along with playing golf!
David said he didn't have a lot to do in the morning and wished he would have been able to go out on the actual course. He had a great experience. Thank you!
