This program is designed for boys and girls between the ages of 12 and 18. Our world-class instruction and coaching provides junior golfers with the necessary skills to compete and win. Golf instruction takes place at McIver Training Center located at The Bearkat Course, home of the SHSU Bearkats Golf teams. These camps offer training and real competition scenarios that develop every part of your game. During the week, campers work on short game, putting, approach shots, course management, and will test their skills in weekly competitions and course play. Upon arrival, all participants are evaluated by the staff so that their own instructional needs can be addressed throughout the week.

The Bearkat Course at Sam Houston State
Seamlessly blended into the rolling wooded landscape, The Bearkat Course offers players of every skill level a beautiful match between challenge and enjoyment. We are the home course of the Sam Houston State PGA Golf Management program, the Sam Houston State University Bearkats, Huntsville Hornets, and New Waverly High.
Robert & Erin Steele Golf Facility
Thanks to a generous donation from distinguished Sam Houston State alums Robert and Erin Steele, Sam Houston men’s and women’s golf dedicated a 2,800-square foot golf facility in September of 2019.
Very active in the golf community, the Steeles own and operate several golf courses in the Houston area. The facility, which is located at Raven Nest Golf Club in Huntsville, features coaches' offices, a team/player lounge, men's and women's locker rooms and showers as well as a training room.
In addition to the two hitting bays at the Michael McIver Golf Training Center, the new facility provides three new hitting bays that feature a redesign and re-grass of the practice tee with Celebration Bermuda grass.
One of the top golf facilities in the region, the Kats' new facility connects via breezeway with the McIver Facility to give SHSU 4,800 square feet of facility to call home.
