World Class Golf Courses
Spyglass Hill® Golf Course - Spyglass Hill Golf Course was designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr. and opened in 1966. Distinguished as the toughest test of golf on the Peninsula, this demanding layout will humble even the most proficient golfers. This proving ground is visited by professionals every year and the PGA Tour regularly rates a few of the holes among the hardest on tour.
The Links at Spanish Bay™ - Spanish Bay recalls the original Scottish concept for the game of golf, established over five hundred years ago. This was the intention of the design team, Robert Trent Jones Jr., Tom Watson and Sandy Tatum, in their creation of a true links golf course. Links is an old Scottish word for sandy wasteland, usually near the sea, with bristly grasses and ever prevailing wind. The Links at Spanish Bay are so authentic that even the Monterey coastline mirrors the rugged, natural beauty of Scotland.
Del Monte™ Golf Course - Opened in 1897, Del Monte Golf Course is the oldest course in continuous operation west of the Mississippi. Designed by golf and polo enthusiast Charles Maud, this inland course boasts a meandering layout that has challenged golfers for more than a century.
The Hay - The Hay at Pebble Beach is located on the former site of the historic Peter Hay Golf Course, which was entirely reimagined by TGR Design to offer an updated, world-class golf experience appealing to golfers of all ages and abilities. Peter Hay was a long-time Head Golf Professional at Pebble Beach. Set just steps away from the storied Pebble Beach Golf Links, the new short course was designed for pure enjoyment with a focus on creating a community-like environment where all golfers will be able to have fun and feel comfortable.
*Players may or may not play The Links at Spanish Bay™ or Spyglass Hill® Golf Course each week. For more information, please call 1-800-645-3226 regarding course play.

Amazing camp
"This was a very amazing camp I want to come back as soon as possible!"
— Nick T. Camper

My children had a great time
"My children had a great time playing various courses at Pebble Beach. I signed them up mainly to play different courses thinking that the instruction would not be very good as most summer camps do not have good instruction (We have not had good experiences at other specialty sport camps). However, we were wrong about that! Jeff Ritter and his staff gave great feedback to my boys about their swing mechanics. In fact, the feedback he gave my children was similar to the feedback their home golf instruction gave them as well. They enjoyed playing the courses. The children loved watching the long swing golfer break a watermelon. One suggestion I would give is that boarding school have a more allergen friendly meal plan and that the school and the golf course provide a meal menu with allergen information, especially since so many children have food allergies. Last, I would give very positive feedback to Langley who carried my son's epipen all week-- thank you to her! We appreciated all her help."

Staff was Incredible
"My daughter and her best friend attended together & we were concerned about two ten your old girls being out of place & overwhlemed. They were the youngest campers and 2 of only three girls. However, we were extremely surprised by the level of care, concern and supervision the staff showed towards them. The entire staff tailored things to their level of golf & stamina making them extremely comfortable being 1600 miles away from home The entire staff was just incredibly accommodating & yet ran a disciplined,very well organized, professional event. They can't wait to go back next year!"

Good Time At Camp

— Jason J. Parent

He definitely came home with the golf bug
Jake loved the golf courses he was able to play at the camp. He definitely came home with the golf bug, which is what I was hoping for. Surprisingly, after 5 days of 7-8 hours a day of golf and playing 81 holes, he wanted to play the day after we returned home. Lastly the videos the staff sent of the one on one training Jake received will be something he can use to refine his game for years to come. He will definitely attend this camp next year.

beautiful courses

Best camp ever!
"First words out of my son's mouth after coming home: "that was the best camp I've ever attended!"

The coaches were amazing and clearly enjoyed teaching golf. He is already asking to go back next year. A tremendous experience for the money."

Thrilled
Jeff Ritter and his staff put on an excellent program at the Nike Golf Camp - Pebble Beach. The coaches were not only great golfers and patient with the campers, they were outstanding role models for life as well. My son was involved in the "Extended Day Program" and every day he would gush about how "really fun" the day had been, how great the food was and how much he was looking forward to the next days training and activities. When the week was over, we asked him if he would want to go back again. He quickly relied, "I'd go again next week!" Thanks to the entire staff for an outstanding week that my son will remember as a highlight forever.
