Nike Junior Golf Camps is thrilled to announce the return of Pine Ridge Golf Club in Springfield, Oregon this summer. Join Camp Director, Aaron Oakley, and the dedicated staff of professionals for an unforgettable week of golf camp!

FULL DAY CAMP

Full day campers enjoy three hours of instruction each morning. Instruction focuses on all facets of the game and prepares the junior player for the challenges of the course. After lunch, it’s off to the first tee for course play. During course play our staff teaches strategy, rules/etiquette, and course management. Our Full Day Camp is designed to create complete golfers and raise their game to the next level. This program runs from 9:00am - 3:30pm daily and is open to golfers ages 9 - 16. Lunch will be provided for full day campers each day.

HALF DAY CAMP

Half day campers receive three hours of instruction with emphasis on putting, chipping, bunker play and full swing. From beginning players to advanced, these are great camps for anyone who wants to improve. Half Day Camp runs from 9:00am - 12:00pm daily and is open to golfers ages 7 - 13.

Camp Director Aaron Oakley

Aaron Oakley serves as our Nike Golf Camp Director at Pine Ridge Golf Club.
View Aaron Oakley's Bio ⟩

Aaron grew up playing junior golf at Twin Lakes Golf & Country Club in Federal Way, Washington then competed in high school for the Fife Trojans. His desire to work in the golf industry led him to RiverRidge Golf Course in Eugene, Oregon in 2006. He didn't plan on making golf his career but realized few get to experience making a profession out of a passion.

Aaron started teaching golf in 2014 primarily instructing groups of beginning golfers. He now works with a wide variety of students ranging from competitive juniors to adults who have never touched a golf club. Students find his patience and enthusiasm help create a relaxing and positive learning environment.

Now teaching and coaching at Pine Ridge Golf Club in Springfield, Aaron is excited to partner with a growing golf course. From short game to playing lessons, the club features the facilities necessary to help you play better golf. Please give Aaron the opportunity to show you how to have more FUN with the greatest game ever played."

Brandon received an early start in the game with the encouragement from his parents at the age of 8. At age 11 Brandon had won his first tournament and started playing in local and regional junior events around the Pacific Northwest. Brandon continued to develop his game and had a successful high school career, including three District titles and one State title. The highlight of his playing career came in 2006 when he earned a spot in the Nationwide Tour's Oregon Classic at Shadow Hills Country Club, his home course, by winning the Pacific Northwest PGA Section Qualifier.

In 2003, Brandon turned professional and completed the United States Golf Teaching Federation Level III requirements. He passed the players' ability portion of the certification by 17 shots, winning the overall event by 13. This marked the beginning of Brandon's teaching career.

This program is designed for boys and girls between the ages of 7-16 (ages vary by program). The staff is on hand to provide campers with top quality instruction each day. At Nike Junior Golf Camps we accommodate all skill levels; the junior player just discovering the game, the high school player trying to move up on the team, and the tournament level junior looking to improve his or her tournament results. Upon arrival, all participants are evaluated by the staff so that their own instructional needs can be addressed throughout the week.
