Improve your game from tee to green without reinventing your swing

The Nicklaus Academy Experience is designed to improve your game and provide you with basics - no matter what your level of play. Each Jack Nicklaus Academy of Golf location offers programs that are customizable to fit the needs of each student on an individual basis (beginners, juniors, ladies, seniors, club level players to those playing the game for a living).

While each Academy Experience occurs at a unique golf club, all Nicklaus Academies deploy the same proven teaching philosophy and integrated technologies. Each professional instructor is hand-selected, and completes a full training and certification program to ensure that you receive consistent information and direction regardless of which Academy you visit. Utilizing a "You Are Your Own Swing" philosophy, World-wide Director of Instruction, Mike Malaska, leads the instruction program.

Stay, Learn & Play

Jack Nicklaus once said, "Confidence is the most important single factor in this game, and no matter how great your natural talent, there is only one way to obtain and sustain it: work."

Luckily, in the game of golf, work shouldn't always equate to pain. Rather than spend long hours on the lesson tee beating balls and be done, the Nicklaus Academies "Stay, Learn & Play" approach makes learning enjoyable and long-lasting. Book a discounted stay at a top-rated Nicklaus Travel resort, and take advantage of low student to teacher ratios, one on one time with staff, in-depth instruction, and quality time on the course.
