Camp Director Jake Thurm
Jake was recently named one of "America's Best Young Teachers" by Golf Digest.
View Jake Thurm's Bio ⟩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 Junior Golf Camp at Fresh Meadow Golf Club in Hillside. 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 DigestJake 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

Roaring success!
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.

had a blast
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.

Amazing Time At 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! :)

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.

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.

Jake loved his first golf camp experience
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!

had a blast
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.

Amazing Time At 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! :)

Camp was a great experience for Jayson.
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.

so inspired by his experience
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.

We can see improvement in his game
Zac seemed to do very well at this camp. We can see improvement in his game. He is now driving the ball over 250 years & it is quite straight. He seems to have improved on his chipping also.

instruction at camp allowed him to properly consider form
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.

Instruction was good
Instruction was good, but I still see some bad habits from my 10 year old. I would have liked them to tell him he is holding his club too low and to not break your wrists.
