Bio

Nic Robinson is entering his first season as the associate head coach and recruiting coordinator for the University of Iowa women’s golf program.

Robinson joined the Hawkeyes following three seasons as an assistant coach at Tennessee. He has also coached collegiately at Charlotte and Asbury University.

In his three seasons in Knoxville, Robinson coached the Lady Vols to a pair of team NCAA Regional appearances. During the 2021-22 season, he coached Mikayla Bardwell to the NCAA Regionals as an individual.

The Vols had three top five finishes as a team and 13 top 10 individual showings during the 2023-24 season. The team earned runner-up honors at the Collegiate Invitational in the first tournament of the spring and closed out the year by placing sixth (of 12 teams) at the NCAA Bermuda Run Regional.

Prior to his arrival on Rocky Top, Robinson spent four seasons at Charlotte, serving as the program’s assistant women’s golf coach. Hired prior to the program’s inaugural season in 2017-18, Robinson helped the 49ers claim three top-five finishes during their debut campaign.

In the following year, Charlotte placed second at the Conference USA Championships. The 49ers logged five top-five finishes in 2018-19, had two players earn All-Conference USA honors and sent Cecilie Finne-Ipsen to the NCAA Championships as an individual.

Despite only participating in six tournaments during the 2019-20 season to COVID-19, Robinson’s Charlotte squad earned two team titles at the Yale Invitational and the Idle Hour Collegiate — the first two tournament wins in the young program’s history — while adding three additional top-five finishes for a shortened-season total of five.

By Charlotte’s third varsity season, Robinson had helped guide Charlotte to a No. 27 national ranking by Golfweek and assisted in developing five eventual All-Conference USA performers.

Preceding his time in Charlotte, Robinson had a three-year tenure as the head coach of Asbury University. By 2017, the Eagles achieved a national ranking of No. 49. He also served as the Connemara Golf Course Head Golf Pro from 2015-17.

Robinson’s coaching career began at Lexington Christian Academy in Kentucky as the school’s head golf coach from 2012-14. He earned his degree in biomedical science from Southeast Missouri State in 2010.
