Full day campers receive three hours of instruction each day with emphasis on putting, chipping, bunker play and full swing.

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. Full Day Camps run Monday through Friday from 9:00am - 4:00pm and are open to players of all abilities, ages 10-15. Please note: Lunch is provided for full day campers each day.

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.

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.

Both of my kids loved camp
Both of my kids loved camp - they thought the trophies on the last day were the best.
May 15, 2025 -
Well Done!
It really improved his level of enjoyment of the game. He jumped out of bed every morning at 8am to go to the camp -- not an easy achievement on a summer morning for a 13-year-old! Well done!

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. In addition to learning many new golf skills, they loved to share stories about the coaches' sense of humor and rapport with the kids. It was the perfect combination of skill-building and fun! Thank you!

Loved It!
I am writing on behalf of my 8 year old son who attended the program. He loved it, and I intend to enroll both of my boys next summer. I'm not a golfer, so I haven't seen him golf yet, but I'm sure he has improved. Thank you, for a great week of camp! We will definitely recommend your camp to friends in the future.

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.
May 15, 2025 -
Thanks
This is our 2nd year; and we will be doing this camp again. Coach Val is awesome and my son also really liked Coach Haylee. Thanks.
