Nike Junior Golf Camps
University of Minnesota is pleased to offer summer camps for intermediate and advanced players, ages 10-17, looking to take their
game to the next level. Join Assistant Women's Golf Coach, Miranda Greene and
Assistant Men’s Golf Coach, Cameron McCloskey for this unique Division I golf
camp experience in Minneapolis.
FULL DAY
The full day program includes instruction from Division I coaches, lunch, daily course play and a curriculum structured for intermediate players with previous golf experience. Each day of camp consists of work in three primary areas: driving/full swing, short game (chipping, pitching and bunker play) and putting. During course play, the camp staff teaches strategy, etiquette and course management. The camp runs from 9:00am - 4:00pm, Monday through Wednesday.
ADVANCED CAMP
The advanced camp is specifically designed for competitive junior golfers who wish to play college golf and improve their tournament results. It is open to all skill levels of young men and women, but the curriculum is geared towards players who are playing competitively. The camp follows the practice habits of the University of Minnesota Men's Golf team and includes Trackman sessions each day, a low student-to-coach ratio with a dedicated head or assistant coach per group, and an optional one-hour Q&A with the staff at the end of camp for all parents and players. Course play takes place each day at the Les Bolstad Golf Course where players will receive exposure to real playing conditions in a tournament setting.

Les Bolstad Golf Course
Established in 1929, the University of Minnesota Les Bolstad Golf Course is a classic, 18 hole championship course boasting a tree-lined path through the history of Minnesota golf. Designed to focus on short game, the team practice facility has six separate putting surfaces.
John W. Mooty Golf Facility
The John W. Mooty Golf Facility is the new state-of-the-art training center for the University of Minnesota Golf Team. The facility officially opened its doors in January, 2019. Despite being one of the Big Ten's elite golf programs with an NCAA Championship and several Big Ten titles, Minnesota has not previously had any indoor golf training space, something other programs across the Big Ten and the nation have enjoyed for decades. Knowing this facility was a need to ensure continued success and growth of both programs, the athletics department successfully raised enough private contributions to fully fund the facility's construction.
The new men's and women's facility features heated indoor hitting bays for golfers to practice full swings in all weather conditions, as well as indoor practice greens for putting and chipping. It also includes locker rooms for both teams, offices for the coaching staffs of both teams, a lounge for students to relax, study, and bond as a team, and a Hall of Fame area to celebrate the achievements of both programs.
The new facility is located on the University's St. Paul campus, immediately adjacent to the historic Les Bolstad Golf Course.
