  • Very good camp to help my kids improve in their techniques. Other than one comment made by one of the coaches that bothered my daughter and me, overall it was a good experience.
  • Enjoyed the many rounds of golf played. Small groups for instruction.
  • He was really proud of himself. He can't stop talking about his eagle
  • Trying to get info out of my 11-year-old is difficult, but he really liked the camp. He has an interest in golf now. If we had time, he would sign up for another golf camp... probably next year... He liked those in charge of the camp as well, he mentioned that a few times to me. Max is really social, so I think that is what he liked best. Being out on the course with friends talking and hanging out. So that is probably his inspiration for enjoying the game. He had a great week and didn't have one negative comment about the camp. Thank you!
  • Julian was very happy with everything and enjoyed all the competitions and games played... Thanks to all....
  • Well done! We'll be back next summer.

  • Cole really enjoyed this camp and left with a love for the game! Thanks!
  • My son loved the camp so much that he came back for a 2nd week. Great job! He will definitely be back next year.
  • We appreciated the attention the kids got, especially the little after-camp sessions on the green. That individual attention has an amazing impact. I met Chris, whose passion and love of teaching is a gift to all the players. My son's introduction to golfing has been a success! Thanks!
  • Ron, Chris and Chris were positive role models and instructors. Course play was most valuable to experience how golf rules apply to play.
  • Sarah had a great time. I appreciate how the coaches ensured the kids had fun while learning some basics of golf. Sarah especially liked the little competitions throughout the camp. Thanks so much!
  • Living in Oakland this was the perfect camp for me. The instruction was great and they made it a fun atmosphere for us!

  • The staff was great! Very encouraging and he improved his game and confidence in the game.

  • He really enjoyed the general atmosphere- kindness, fun, but at the same time serious enough for him to take well... seriously. Thank you so much.
  • My son Rhys speaks so highly of coach David. He was a great coach and really helped Rhys have lots of fun and really helped his golf game. Thanks!
  • Ryan said that Trish was very good and he learned many things from her. He also liked coach Nick. He was able to learn concepts about putting and enjoyed the games, which made the skill learning more interesting. We went to two camps this summer since he liked it the first time so much. As a parent, I heard the opening welcome and there was an emphasis on the safety and wellness of the kids. Trish brought it up first. I thought that was excellent, as kids need to know it is important and it made me feel more confident that your camp has the correct structure for learning and your camp’s professionalism and reputation start with safety. Well done! It’s actually the parents’ highest priority as well since we are not there.

  • She spoke very enthusiastically about the camp, the instructor, and it rejuvenated her interest in golf.

  • The Nike Golf Camp was exceptional. It was great and gave my daughter the tips and confidence she needed to make the cut for her Varsity High School Golf Team. She enjoyed her coaches and we have continued with coaching outside of the camp, yes using the same coaches. The coaches know technique, skill, patience and most of all how to explain/instruct so that player understands what is expected when they are on their own without the coach next to them. Thank you again for a job well done.

  • My son loved the camp so much that he came back for a 2nd week. Great job! He will definitely be back next year.
  • We appreciated the attention the kids got, especially the little after-camp sessions on the green. That individual attention has an amazing impact. I met Chris, whose passion and love of teaching is a gift to all the players. My son's introduction to golfing has been a success! Thanks!
  • Ron, Chris and Chris were positive role models and instructors. Course play was most valuable to experience how golf rules apply to play.
  • Sarah had a great time. I appreciate how the coaches ensured the kids had fun while learning some basics of golf. Sarah especially liked the little competitions throughout the camp. Thanks so much!
  • Living in Oakland this was the perfect camp for me. The instruction was great and they made it a fun atmosphere for us!
  • Being able to walk and play the course. Learning to chip with a 7-iron from the fringe. Being able to learn with better players in his age cohort. Good food!
  • The staff was great! Very encouraging and he improved his game and confidence in the game.
  • Our son enjoyed this camp. We felt like he got the attention he needed to get the proper instruction. This camp provided a good balance between learning and having fun. On Thursday, he was talking about attending next year! Thank you for making this a good summer experience.
  • He really enjoyed the general atmosphere- kindness, fun, but at the same time serious enough for him to take well... seriously. Thank you so much.
  • My son Rhys speaks so highly of coach David. He was a great coach and really helped Rhys have lots of fun and really helped his golf game. Thanks!
  • Ryan said that Trish was very good and he learned many things from her. He also liked coach Nick. He was able to learn concepts about putting and enjoyed the games, which made the skill learning more interesting. We went to two camps this summer since he liked it the first time so much. As a parent, I heard the opening welcome and there was an emphasis on the safety and wellness of the kids. Trish brought it up first. I thought that was excellent, as kids need to know it is important and it made me feel more confident that your camp has the correct structure for learning and your camp’s professionalism and reputation start with safety. Well done! It’s actually the parents’ highest priority as well since we are not there.

  • My son LOVED it and will be sure to attend next summer Thank you!''
  • Camp was great!! Tilden Park its an amazing golf club. My son Cairo enjoyed a lot. Kathy help him a lot and let us use the clubs a few more days to play the course!!! I totally recommend the golf camp at Tilden park golf course.
  • My daughter loved the camp. It was her first experience golfing and she now is very interested in going to the range and playing golf, etc. I would highly recommend the camp!
  • This camp was fantastic and we will be back next year.

  • We love Chris. He is exceptional. My son gave him a 10 every single day. He has learned so much and had a lot of fun. I am impressed with Chris too by observing him working with the kids briefly and through conversations. He not only teaches the kids about golf, but also sportsmanship and their character. We will be back for sure.
  • Everything was great. Ron is an excellent coach!
  • She spoke very enthusiastically about the camp, the instructor, and it rejuvenated her interest in golf.
  • Grant shot two 37’s from the tips, improved his chipping a lot, improved his swing, and most importantly, he improved his strategy a lot. He has a really good strategy for reading greens.
  • The Nike Golf Camp was exceptional. It was great and gave my daughter the tips and confidence she needed to make the cut for her Varsity High School Golf Team. She enjoyed her coaches and we have continued with coaching outside of the camp, yes using the same coaches. The coaches know technique, skill, patience and most of all how to explain/instruct so that player understands what is expected when they are on their own without the coach next to them. Thank you again for a job well done.

  • Trying to get info out of my 11-year-old is difficult, but he really liked the camp. He has an interest in golf now. If we had time, he would sign up for another golf camp... probably next year... He liked those in charge of the camp as well, he mentioned that a few times to me. Max is really social, so I think that is what he liked best. Being out on the course with friends talking and hanging out. So that is probably his inspiration for enjoying the game. He had a great week and didn't have one negative comment about the camp. Thank you!
