WHAT FAMILIES SAY ABOUT Nike Golf Camp at Arcadia Golf Course
85 Reviews
Every year my kids just love coming back to Arcadia. The coaches really take an interest in my kids and are passionate to see them succeed. Thank you to all the staff members and instuctors at Arcadia.
Coach Tim is an excellent golf coach. My son who enjoys playing golf but usually doesn’t like practicing had a pleasant experience. He would have such a wonderful attitude when I picked him up from golf. He said he liked it so much that he wanted me to put him in golf camp again. We ended doing 3 weeks at the Arcadia golf camp.
My daughter had no previous golf experience. She wanted to try the camp for half day to see if she might like golf. By the end of the second day, she wanted me to sign her up for the following week. She said it was not boring, everyone was friendly and they got out on the course!
LOVED LOVED LOVED IT! Even though I grew up with a family of avid golfers, my son was a bit young and had had no experience with golf prior to the camp. Everyone made him feel welcomed and was eager to teach him not just golf but safety! At the end of each day, he was able to tell me exactly what they had worked on and what he had learned. I couldn't thank the staff enough for the patience they had shown him and the motivation to keep learning. Thank you!
First time golf experience and love the sport, he's looking forward for next camp
Nike Golf Camp was fun and very instructional. The staff was always willing to help and very patient with my kids. No matter what skill level or age, this camp is the perfect summer activity.
Her shot skill was improved. I hope she will join the camp again.
She was interested in golf prior to the camp but never took lessons. The first day (and every day following), she had a blast and couldn't stop smiling and talking about it. My husband plays golf so it was really exciting for him to hear that she was having a blast at camp. He even noticed the improvement in her grip and form, between the first day of camp and the last day of camp.
She enjoyed it tremendously, only the first day of registration was somewhat disorganized.
Very courteous staff with positive attitudes. I liked Arcadia because there wasn't the big crowds that is usually found at golf courses. Felt really safe and relaxed. A real hidden gem. We'll be back soon!
Coach Tim gave personal attention to each child at the camp including my daughter. She had a great experience at the camp. She's improved her score as well. Thank you!
He really enjoyed the golf camp experience. He has learned the proper way to use the club and hit the ball properly within one week and that is amazing.
My son cannot wait to get back to the camp next year!!
Had good practice, enjoyed time being there with the coach and classmates
Riley enjoyed the small groups that go into competitions and playing to win for prizes. She also enjoyed the snacks at the end of the week. Coach Carole was very attentive and helped her improve her golfing skills.
It was very nice and productive for Alice.
He enjoyed the structure of the camp, the schedule, the instructors & the chance to improve his golf game in a fun environment.
Rachel loved playing with other kids and making new friends. The individual coaching helped her to improve her swing.
Kyle learned how to hit the ball properly. Roy was great. It’s good to have teen boys taking lesson from ‘an older brother’!
His skills were rusty from not doing much the last few years but this camp helped bring out his interest and love for golf. Now he’s motivated to continue to improve his golf skills in the next 6 more upcoming weeks of camp.
Mr. Rich made great lunches for the kids! My son had food allergies and he made sure that my son's food was allergy free. Mary was a great coordinator and made sure that everything ran well.
My son is able to play a round of golf at conclusion and built confidence in fundamentals
Second year at golf camp in Arcadia. The instructor remembered our kids from previous year which was nice. The kids just really like the instructor Tim, really encouraging. Nice laid back environment, which makes it less intimidating for the kids. They always make great friends.
The second week at camp was definitely a great experience. He mentioned Coach Con was exceptional
The Nike Day Camp at Arcadia was a great learning experience for my two children. The staff was well-trained and taught my kids the fundamentals of golf. We will send them back next summer.

The golf cap provided was a large adult cap, not really suitable for the 7-12 year old students. Kids were really bummed about that. The power bars provided were also not age appropriate.

Nike Golf should reevaluate the staff at Arcadia camp. Do instructors need qualification? Big thanks to the junior volunteer who actually taught my son.
