Camp Overview

Improve your game and have serious fun at
Nike Junior Golf Camps!

CU Boulder's Men's Golf and Nike Golf Camps are excited to return for another summer of top-notch instruction. The Nike Elite Golf Camps with CU Boulder are directed by Head Coach for CU Boulder Men's Golf, Roy Edwards, and is supported by his staff of assistants and player coaches.

Elite Camp

The Elite Camp is specifically designed for the tournament golfer who wishes to play college golf and improve their tournament results. It is open to all skill levels of young men and women, ages 12-18, but the curriculum is geared towards players who are playing competitively. The camp recreates the practice and qualifying regimens the CU men's team uses on a daily basis. Specifically, the camp teaches the practice habits of championship golfers, fitness, mental strength, college preparation, time management, course management, academics and team camaraderie. Each player is also provided video analysis to bring home with them via Trackman.

For the duration of the week, campers and staff reside at the Courtyard by Marriott North Denver/Westminister, located just minutes from CU's home course, Colorado National Golf Club. Campers have the privilege of using the same beautiful practice facilities the team uses at Colorado National, and engage in daily course play.

Highlights Include

  • Instruction from Division I coaches and players with a low student to teacher ratio
  • Daily course play at Colorado National Golf Club
  • Trackman video analysis provided for each camper to bring home
  • Accommodations at the Courtyard by Marriott North Denver
  • Camper amenity package provided for each participant

Camp Coaches

  • Nike Junior Golf Camp Roy Edwards

    Roy Edwards

    Head Men's Golf Coach

    Roy Edwards is in his 19th season as head coach of the University of Colorado men’s golf team.

    Nike Junior Golf Camp Roy Edwards

    Roy Edwards

    Head Men's Golf Coach

    Edwards, 43, is just the third full-time men’s golf coach in Buffalo history. He came to CU with an impressive pedigree, joining the Buffaloes from his alma mater, the University of Kansas, where he had served as the assistant for both the men’s and women’s programs for the previous four years (2002-06). He held the same position at Vanderbilt University for a year prior to returning to KU.

    Edwards replaced the late Mark Simpson, who passed away from complications due to lung cancer in December 2005. Simpson had held the post since 1977, when he followed in the footsteps of his college head coach, Les Fowler. Fowler took over as player-coach in 1948 and remained on board until Simpson, his assistant, replaced him. Thus, Edwards is only the program’s third full-time head coach since 1948.

    Each of his predecessors had to lead the Buffaloes into stronger conferences, Fowler into the Big Seven in 1949 and Simpson into the Big 12 in 1996; but Edwards was faced with the most daunting task in CU golf history. He led the charge when the Buffaloes joined the Pacific-10 Conference on July 1, 2011 (making it the Pac-12), with Colorado becoming a member of the most prestigious men’s golf conference in the nation. A long-time force in collegiate golf, as many as seven or eight schools regularly occupied the top 30 every season and Pac-12 schools have won 15 national championships.

    In a 2015 summer poll by Golfweek of golf coaches nationwide, asking them to rate their peers, Edwards came up as No. 18 on the list. The publication commented about Edwards, “If you have ever spoken with Edwards at length, you know he is a student of the profession.”

    It took less than three years for Edwards to put his stamp on the CU golf program, perhaps in no bigger way than completing the dream of both Fowler and Simpson. One of the few major golf programs in the nation without its own true home golf course and facilities, Edwards played an integral part in working with Colorado alum Steve Kerr in the latter’s acquisition of Vista Ridge Golf Club in Erie in 2009. The club was renamed Colorado National Golf Club and has since served as the official home for the university’s men’s and women’s golf teams. In 2012, the George Boedecker Jr. CU Golf Practice Facility, a 5,600-square foot state-of-the-art indoor complex was constructed at CNGC, one that matches any in the nation.

    He also initiated the Colorado Partners program, a group that quickly grew to well over 100 members who contribute financially to augment the school’s golf budget, and established the Colorado Golf Day which is an annual celebration and fundraiser for CU golf.

    On the course, under Edwards the Buffaloes have appeared in 12 out of a possible 13 NCAA Championships, nine times as a team and three times with individuals earning selections. Through the fall of 2019, his CU teams have won 17 major tournaments, the most under one coach in school history as he surpassed Simpson’s 16 when the Buffs won two fall ’19 events. In addition, the Buffaloes have 19 runner-up finishes in his tenure and his golfers have won 15 individual medalist honors. Against Division I competition, CU owns a 1,379-1,011-34 record head-to-head (57.6 winning percentage), but since joining the Pac-12, the Buffs are 912-568-25 (a 61.4 winning clip).
  • Nike Junior Golf Camp Derek Tolan

    Derek Tolan

    Assistant Men's Golf Coach

    Derek Tolan is serving as the program’s interim assistant head coach, as he was named to the position on January 22, 2020, returning to his alma mater where he earned a host of honors during his playing career that spanned four seasons (2006-09).

    Derek Tolan

    Assistant Men's Golf Coach

    Tolan, 34, has been playing professionally the last 10 years since he last teed it up for the Buffs in the spring of 2009; he is filling a midseason vacancy created in December 2019 when CU’s assistant coach of the last five seasons, Pat Grady (a teammate of Tolan’s) decided to return to his private CPA business.

    “It means everything in the world to me to be part of CU again, not just the golf program but the university and athletic department as a whole,” Tolan said. ‘I was recruited by Mark Simpson as a player and played for Roy Edwards for three years, so this is a unique opportunity to be able to continue the values of both of them, but also to be able to apply my knowledge as well. I’ve been in the ring for decades now and have successes and failures at all levels. It’s important for me to apply that knowledge to the players at CU, and feel so fortunate to have this opportunity.”

    For his CU career (four-year letterman from 2006-09), Tolan finished third in the most rounds played (151), and was 13th in career stroke average (74.19). He tied for second in both the most top 10 finishes (18) and top 20 efforts (26) in school history (he was 11th with five top-five performances). He had 89.8 percent of his career rounds count toward team scoring and at the time became just the fifth CU player to have qualified to play in four NCAA Championships. As a senior, he posted a 71.9 stroke average, leading the team in recording the second-best in school history at the time. He was selected as the school’s Male Career Athletic Achievement Award winner for all sports, and the co-Male Athlete of the Year (with Grady). An honorable mention All-American by Golfweek and the GCAA, he also earned PING All-Central Region honors, All-Big 12 honors, and All-Big 12 Tournament Team accolades.

Nike Junior Golf Camp at Colorado National 3

Colorado National Golf Club

The golf course at the Colorado National Golf Club is an 18-hole, public course that is situated just 20 minutes north of Denver. Jay Morrish designed the formerly known as Vista Ridge golf course with a traditional links-style layout. The course covers 7,676 yards of golf from its longest tees and plays to a par of 72. Rolling fairways lined with native grasses and large, undulating greens make the golf course interesting, while beautiful views of snow-topped mountains provide pleasant scenery. The course has many bunkers as well as water hazards. Colorado National Golf Club also features five sets of tee boxes for golfers to work on a number of different handicaps.
