Nike Golf Camp Pine Meadow

Pine Meadow Golf Club, widely considered one of the finest public golf facilities in Illinois, plays host to three Nike half day camps and one full day camp this upcoming summer .

February 6, 2015 – US Sports Camps announced plans to offer Nike Junior Golf Camps thirty miles north of Chicago at Pine Meadow Golf Club, which debuted in 1986 as Golf Digest’s “Best New Public Golf Course in America,” and is consistently ranked in the top 25 courses, public or private, in the state. 

“We have the framework for a great junior golf experience at Pine Meadow,” states Jason West, vice president of Nike Golf Camps. “Couple one of the best golf courses in the state with a camp director widely regarded as one the best teachers in the state, and you have the formula for a truly memorable week of camp.”

Nike Golf Camps at Pine Meadow Golf Club are directed by three-time Illinois PGA Award Winner, Brett Packee.

He has competed in the game of golf since the age of 10, has won over 35 tournaments and has won both Illinois PGA Assistant Player of the Year and Illinois Junior Golf Player of the Year. He played college golf for the University of Miami (FL) on a golf scholarship and is a 4-time qualifier for the PGA National Championship. Brett also qualified for the 1999 Motorola Western Open, a highlight of his career.

“I am very excited to add Nike Junior Golf Camps to our programming,” states Packee. “My staff of college players and I are very excited to be affiliated with the best camps in the country. We look forward to seeing you at a world class facility like Pine Meadow.”
