  • Camp was fantastic. It was my son's first introduction to golf and it really increased his interest and he loved it.

  • Roaring success! Jossane was reluctant to go as this was her first time in golf camp and she didn’t think it would be fun (for a 12yo). After day 1, she came home telling us how fun it was, new friends she made, and showing us different things she learned. After Day 2, she asked why we didn’t sign her up for full-day camp. After Day 3, she declared that her next camp program should be full days. Thank you to Coach Dan for teaching her golf fundamentals in a way that she’s interested and loving the sport.
  • Jayden enjoyed rotating between the stations. The video analyzing his swing was very helpful.
  • Great experience for a beginner. My son had limited exposure prior to this camp and now he can’t wait to practice and get out on the course. Fun & friendly coaches helped develop his confidence. Friday fun day is a great way to end the week.
  • My son is only 7 and he has improved his game dramatically, thanks to camp. Jake Thurm runs a great camp at Fresh Meadow. I have seen enrollment in the program grow over the past 2 summers my son has been in attendance, which is terrific!
  • My son thought it was the best camp of his summer this year, which included several baseball and basketball camps.
  • Prior to golf camp, Gavin had only gone to the driving range a handful of times. The instruction at camp allowed him to properly consider form and hitting the ball.
  • He enjoyed Friday FunDay and all the help on chipping, driver, and hybrid. He was so inspired by his experience he wants to host his own golf camp for his parents and brother. He made videos with all the hints and notes you gave him. Such as GASP, 5 Putting things, and bow to sensei. He also loved the video swing analysis provided at the end.
  • Learning how to chip better, playing 9 holes with friends in the afternoon, having fun with the instructors
  • He was very into the “gasp” thing! Nice for the little ones to have something simple and concrete to hold on to.
  • Jayson always enjoys golf camp, but this year he especially enjoyed it. He commented on how nice the counselors are to the kids. Jayson also made some friends. He really liked the swing video. He knows the things he should work on and he feels he improved his skills overall. Camp was a great experience for Jayson.
  • Grant had a great time at camp. He had a couple of buddies with him which made it even better. He came home each day excited to share his new knowledge. He’s excited for golf camp next year.

  • Zachary couldn’t wait to get to camp he enjoyed all the lessons and now I can’t keep them off the golf course thank you all very much can’t wait for next year’s camp
  • Jake had a complete blast this last week - In fact, he loved it so much we signed him up for two more weeks of camp this summer! He golfed with Coach Jack a lot and Coach Jack was phenomenal - Jake looked up to him so much! We also loved the video feedback from Jake Thurm about Jake's swing. Jake watched the feedback and when Coach Thurm said, Jake's definitely a high school golfer, possibly even a college golfer, that made my Jake feel so proud that he hasn't stopped talking about that he is going to play golf in high school. (He is going into 6th grade, currently.) Jake has never really identified much with a sport or hobby, so this camp was a game-changer for him! :)
  • We are so grateful for the experience that Jake had this week with your camp. It was the best camp Jake has ever done and we can't recommend it highly enough! Many thanks for all you've done!
  • Eddie had a blast, and his game most definitely improved!! He was older than most, which I worried would make him be less excited about going after day 1, but it in no way detracted from his experience. Had fun with the campers and he would do it again in a heartbeat. Attentive leaders, great size, and all the instruction he could want.
  • Henry learned a lot and had fun with his friends. It was his second time at this camp with Jake and he will definitely attend again.
  • Connor loved every minute of it and wanted to take the camp again the following week!
  • Outstanding camp. Couldn't ask for a better experience. I felt much more confident in my game after the week.
  • My son has developed a strong love of golf from just the 2 weeks of camp he attended. We look forward to full day camps next year!
  • I am so pleased with the nike golf camp. My seven year-old had never touched a golf club in his life and after one week fell completely in love with the sport. Thank you!!
  • This camp was wonderful and safe. I was very impressed overall.

Camp Coaches

  • Jake Thurm Updated Headshot

    Jake Thurm

    Camp Director

    Jake was recently named one of "America's Best Young Teachers" by Golf Digest.

    Jake Thurm Updated Headshot

    Jake Thurm

    Camp Director

    Jake Thurm has been named one of the “Best Young Teachers in America” by Golf Digest for three consecutive years.

    His students will tell you why.

    Jake’s instruction offers a unique combination of physical and mental guidance, customized for each student and informed by technology and analytics. He never gives the same lesson twice.

    A fundamental tenet of Jake’s instruction is that no two players swing exactly alike. Because of this, he works to understand the unique biomechanics of each student. Data allows him to assess and not guess. And then he tailors his teaching to help his students discover their most natural and effective swing.

    The Chicago native draws on his deep knowledge of the game as a former all-conference golfer and protégé of legendary instructor Dr. Jim Suttie, as well as from his background in clinical psychology. The result is an innovative mind-body approach that has earned accolades from PGA Tour winners, including Kevin Streelman, James Hahn, Dudley Hart, and Chip Beck. Jake has worked at more than 100 PGA Tour events, including all four major championships, and appears on the Golf Channel as an expert commentator.

    Highly regarded in Chicagoland golf circles, Jake is the Midwest Director for the USA Junior National Golf Team and Director of the Nike Golf Camp at Links and Tees Golf Facility. He also operates golf schools at Ruffled Feathers Golf Club in Lemont and is on the Master Staff at Club Champion in Willowbrook.

    Whether working with PGA pros or promising young players, Jake identifies a common trait in all his students. “They are serious players who are passionate about improving their game,” he says. “When that’s the case, I’m equally passionate about helping them. And I know I can.”


    Testimonials:

    "Jake Thurm is a close friend of mine and his knowledge of the game and the golf swing is unquestionable. His dedication and passion for teaching rivals any young instructor in the Chicagoland area. I enjoy sharing secrets and stories from the Tour with Jake every time we work together. My ball striking has continued to improve under his guidance."

    Kevin Streelman
    PGA Tour Winner: 2013 Tampa Bay Championship, 2014 Travelers Championship, 2009 Kodak Challenge

    "Jake Thurm is one of the brightest young teachers in the country. If you really want to improve your game, Jake is the guy to see. I personally use him to help teach in my own golf schools and I can say from first hand experience that he gets great results with people.”

    Dr. Jim Suttie
    2000 PGA National Teacher of the Year, #1 Ranked Teacher in Illinois, TOP 20 Instructor Golf Digest

    Jake Thurm is a swing guru whom I will trust getting lessons about my own swing. He understands the core values of kinetics and movement creating tendencies in the swing. The end result is a clear and simple thought process that I can take from the practice range to a PGA Tour event. What he says not only works to improve my game, but is the truth of golf instruction in the modern day. Move over other top instructors, Jake Thurm is on the rise!"

    James Hahn PGA Tour Winner: 2015 Northern Trust Open, 2016 Wells Fargo Championship

  • This was Will's first Nike golf camp and he has been addicted to practicing ever since.
  • Camp was fantastic. It was my son's first introduction to golf and it really increased his interest and he loved it.
  • This was really his first exposure to the game - and came away having really enjoyed it. I believe he'll be interested in playing golf as he gets older He enjoyed getting out on the course and actually playing some holes.
  • Daman enjoyed his experience and we loved the video instruction provided at the end so we as parents could see what was worked on during the week and where to continue to help him improve.
  • Jake loved his first golf camp experience and couldn't wait to get home and share everything he learned each day. He got a kick out of his swing evaluation by Mr. Thurm. Thank you for making his experience an awesome one. He will be back!
  • Roaring success! Jossane was reluctant to go as this was her first time in golf camp and she didn’t think it would be fun (for a 12yo). After day 1, she came home telling us how fun it was, new friends she made, and showing us different things she learned. After Day 2, she asked why we didn’t sign her up for full-day camp. After Day 3, she declared that her next camp program should be full days. Thank you to Coach Dan for teaching her golf fundamentals in a way that she’s interested and loving the sport.
  • Jayden enjoyed rotating between the stations. The video analyzing his swing was very helpful.
  • Great experience for a beginner. My son had limited exposure prior to this camp and now he can’t wait to practice and get out on the course. Fun & friendly coaches helped develop his confidence. Friday fun day is a great way to end the week.
  • My son is only 7 and he has improved his game dramatically, thanks to camp. Jake Thurm runs a great camp at Fresh Meadow. I have seen enrollment in the program grow over the past 2 summers my son has been in attendance, which is terrific!
  • My son thought it was the best camp of his summer this year, which included several baseball and basketball camps.
  • Prior to golf camp, Gavin had only gone to the driving range a handful of times. The instruction at camp allowed him to properly consider form and hitting the ball.
  • He enjoyed Friday FunDay and all the help on chipping, driver, and hybrid. He was so inspired by his experience he wants to host his own golf camp for his parents and brother. He made videos with all the hints and notes you gave him. Such as GASP, 5 Putting things, and bow to sensei. He also loved the video swing analysis provided at the end.
  • Learning how to chip better, playing 9 holes with friends in the afternoon, having fun with the instructors
  • He was very into the “gasp” thing! Nice for the little ones to have something simple and concrete to hold on to.
  • Jayson always enjoys golf camp, but this year he especially enjoyed it. He commented on how nice the counselors are to the kids. Jayson also made some friends. He really liked the swing video. He knows the things he should work on and he feels he improved his skills overall. Camp was a great experience for Jayson.
  • Grant had a great time at camp. He had a couple of buddies with him which made it even better. He came home each day excited to share his new knowledge. He’s excited for golf camp next year.
  • Lucien has participated in other golf camps before. With this camp, he came home feeling like he had really learned something and was asking to do it again and for a full day!
  • Zachary couldn’t wait to get to camp he enjoyed all the lessons and now I can’t keep them off the golf course thank you all very much can’t wait for next year’s camp
  • Jake had a complete blast this last week - In fact, he loved it so much we signed him up for two more weeks of camp this summer! He golfed with Coach Jack a lot and Coach Jack was phenomenal - Jake looked up to him so much! We also loved the video feedback from Jake Thurm about Jake's swing. Jake watched the feedback and when Coach Thurm said, Jake's definitely a high school golfer, possibly even a college golfer, that made my Jake feel so proud that he hasn't stopped talking about that he is going to play golf in high school. (He is going into 6th grade, currently.) Jake has never really identified much with a sport or hobby, so this camp was a game-changer for him! :)
  • We are so grateful for the experience that Jake had this week with your camp. It was the best camp Jake has ever done and we can't recommend it highly enough! Many thanks for all you've done!
  • Eddie had a blast, and his game most definitely improved!! He was older than most, which I worried would make him be less excited about going after day 1, but it in no way detracted from his experience. Had fun with the campers and he would do it again in a heartbeat. Attentive leaders, great size, and all the instruction he could want.
  • Henry learned a lot and had fun with his friends. It was his second time at this camp with Jake and he will definitely attend again.
  • Connor loved every minute of it and wanted to take the camp again the following week!
  • Outstanding camp. Couldn't ask for a better experience. I felt much more confident in my game after the week.
  • My son has developed a strong love of golf from just the 2 weeks of camp he attended. We look forward to full day camps next year!
  • I am so pleased with the nike golf camp. My seven year-old had never touched a golf club in his life and after one week fell completely in love with the sport. Thank you!!
  • This camp was wonderful and safe. I was very impressed overall.
