World Class Golf Courses
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 - 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.
Poppy Hills Golf Course - Poppy Hills is the first golf course to be owned and operated by a regional golf association in the country. Built in 1986 by Robert Trent Jones Jr., Poppy Hills hosted the PGA Tour’s AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am from 1991 through 2009.
Peter Hay Golf Course - Opened in October 1957, Peter Hay Golf Course is the only 9-hole par-3 golf course open to the public on the Monterey Peninsula. The course is located across the street from Pebble Beach Golf Links. From working on chip shots to teaching children the game of golf, Peter Hay Golf Course is popular with golfers of all skill levels.
Laguna Seca Golf Ranch - Laguna Seca is a favorite destination for local and visiting golfers because it offers the well groomed amenities of a private facility and a beautiful inland course setting. The golf course will make you use every club in your bag to conquer its ups and downs to well guarded greens, while elevated tees treat you to impressive vista of the Monterey-Salinas corridor.
The Stevenson School
Campers are housed at the prestigious Stevenson School, located in Pebble Beach, California. The Stevenson School is a beautiful College Prep School. The dorms are nestled in the Del Monte Forest a quarter of a mile down the road from the first tee at Pebble Beach Golf Links and just steps from the eighteenth tee at Spyglass Golf Links. It is the most beautiful location to hold a golf camp in the world!

Best camp ever!
"First words out of my son's mouth after coming home: "that was the best camp I've ever attended!" Being a true beginner we were concerned about an intimidating environment but it was incredibly supportive and fun. The diverse activities kept his attention and made learning more enjoyable. The coaches were amazing and clearly enjoyed teaching golf. He is already asking to go back next year. A tremendous experience for the money."

— Janie Z. Parent

Big thanks!
"Thank you to Coach Jeff and Coach Langley for making my daughter's second year at Nike camp simply amazing. The attention to detail and instruction as well as making my husband and I feel that her safety is most important makes this camp just wonderful. Looking forward to next year."
— Georgia M. Parent

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.

Loved it

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!"
