Overnight Camp
Campers are housed on campus at Indiana University for this four-night program. The camp is open to boys of all ability levels, ages 10-18, and runs Sunday afternoon through Thursday mid-day. Each morning, the group is shuttled to IU Golf's dedicated team practice facility at the newly renovated Indiana University Golf Course for morning instruction.
Each day of camp consists of work in four primary areas: full swing, partial swing, short-game (pitching, chipping, and bunker play) and putting. Campers also have the opportunity to try out their skills on the immaculate Indiana University Championship Golf Course during the week. Other activities include: video swing analysis, rules/etiquette seminars and NCAA recruiting/scholarship seminars.
*There is also an extended day option for those campers who do not wish to stay overnight. The extended day program offers the same inclusions as the overnight camp, except for accommodations and breakfast each day. Girls may participate in the day option.
This camp is open to any and all entrants that meet the age and gender requirement.
Highlights Include
- Small group instruction with low student/teacher ratio from nationally recognized college coaches
- Video swing analysis for each player
- Camper amenity package including a Nike hat, drawstring bag, SRIXON golf balls, camp workbook and graduation certificate
- Fun, supervised off-course evening activities

Indiana University Golf Course
Indiana University has recently renovated its IU Golf Course! The redesigned golf course, which includes a new clubhouse and driving range, features new hole layouts that challenge beginning through advanced golfers. The course also will be revitalized by returning part of the current course to the native landscape, including the addition of about 70 acres of new trees, shrubs, and other plantings to replace and augment dead or diseased trees. Golfers can choose from several tee box locations and the greens will be designed for the approach shots of many skill levels. The par 71 course has a maximum yardage of about 7,700 yards and a minimum of about 4,500 yards, depending upon the tee location selected.
