Nike Junior Golf Camps
Our junior golf camps in Marin are hosted at Peacock Gap which is located a few minutes from San Pablo Bay in San Rafael. The facilities include a recently renovated practice area which makes it an ideal location for a Nike Junior Golf Camp.
Full Day Camps 9:00am-4:00pm
These camps are an excellent opportunity for junior golfers to improve their skills and their course management at the same time. Students enjoy three hours of instruction each morning and work on all facets of the game to prepare the junior player for the course. After a lunch it’s off to the first tee. During course play our professionals teach strategy, etiquette and course management. The Full Day Camp is designed to create complete golfers and raise their game to the next level. Lunch is included for full day campers each day.
Half Day Camps 9:00am-12:00pm/1:00pm-4:00pm
Half Day campers receive three hours of instruction each day on all different aspects of the game, including putting, chipping, bunker play and full swing. Campers rotate between stations and participate in drills, skills challenges, and other games. These are great camps for anyone who wants to improve.
Highlights Include
- Small group instruction with low student/teacher ratio
- Course play with the staff focusing on course management, shot selection, strategy, rules and etiquette (when available, Full Day only)
- Camper amenity package including a Nike hat, drawstring bag, SRIXON golf balls, camp workbook, and graduation certificate (fall campers receive a sleeve of golf balls, Nike hat, and drawstring bag)

Peacock Gap Golf Course
Classic golf course architecture is defined by fairways that invite but challenge and greens that creep beyond where the player thinks they end. This is the intrigue of classic golf and the foundation of Peacock Gap Golf Course. Sheltered from the fog and blessed with sunny weather, this corner of Marin County provides a terrific environment for a great round of golf.

Thanks for such a great camp
"Head Coach Val and all of his team members made all of the children feel welcome and comfortable. They were extremely friendly and attentive to any questions/concerns I had. My children were excited each morning to go to camp and immediately took off as soon as they arrived.

Not thrilled
"This is the second year in a row that we have tried the Nike Golf Camp at Peacock Gap. I was not thrilled last year, but my son was new to golf and I thought maybe that was the issue. This year, however, I was disappointed again. The level of instruction seems minimal to non-existent. While my son says he had fun, to me, it felt more like a place where you drop your kid off to keep them safe and mildly entertained for the day."

Excellent camp
"Excellent Camp! Frankie will do it again next year!"
— Frankie P. Parent
-
I did not feel that this was a strong camp
"I did not feel that this was a strong camp at all and because my son was not enjoying it, I observed part of the time on several days. I did not think the instructors seemed enthusiastic about the job, nor did I observe more than a base level of individual attention to campers. The camp struck me as dull, uninspired and the trophy that my son earned with the instructor's name on it was odd."
— Parent

Wish it was longer
"Wish it was a little longer."
