Metropolitan Golf Links
In the tradition of the great links courses, The Metropolitan Golf Links is wide open. There's even some heather and clusters of native grasses to add to the ambiance. But the fairways are mostly open and the greens are large and receptive so that even the high-handicapper can get around expeditiously. Miller and Bliss have designed the course so that the low-handicapper will have to think his or her way around the course to score well. The Metropolitan Golf Links is strong enough from the back tees to serve the needs of the Cal Bears Golf program.
University of California, Berkeley
The University of California, Berkeley (voted the No. 1 public university in the world) is nestled in the hills of Berkeley, CA, overlooking the Oakland skyline and San Francisco beyond. It was founded in 1868, born out of a vision in the State Constitution of a university that would "contribute even more than California's gold to the glory and happiness of advancing generations."

This camp is not only really helpful but also extremely fun and really allows me to enjoy the sport even more. I love how it also educates about college golf and hearing about the experiences from current college players is a really amazing opportunity for me. I like how well all the coaches teach but they still find time for one on one coaching. This camp is always been my favorite and I also really enjoyed the overnight portion as well. - Penny
