College Golf Camps concepts are new to junior golf. From what we are told, “never seen before” concepts. So, we get a lot of questions. Here are several Q/A’s about our junior golf camps.

First, we can guarantee that college golf coaches will attend because we hire them to instruct, evaluate, observe, coach and interact with the players. We list the names of each college golf coach, so feel free to contact them and verify their attendance at our junior golf camps.

How many camper per coach?
We guarantee 18 college golf coaches at each event and a 6 to 1 ratio for junior golfers to college golf coaches. Sometimes we have more, however we commit to 18. Why 18 you ask, because there are 18 holes of golf. So when the campers are on the golf course each hole has at least 1 coach. This is to keep a great educational environment.

What are the requirements to attend?
You do not have qualify for College Golf Camps event. You do not need a high enough ranking or points or exemption or any of that stuff. We jokingly, but kind of seriously like to say, the only requirement is a great attitude, a desire to learn more about golf and a high interest in playing college golf. Any international and national junior golfer between the age of 10-18, under new NCAA guidelines, senior graduates may attend. Camp is open to any/all entrants limited only by number, age, grade level or gender.

Do the campers get much time with the coaches?
Yes, we estimate 30 hours of interaction over the 3 day camp. 21 hours of education and 9 hours of competition. When the junior golf campers are not on the golf course they are seminars lead by college golf coaches. College golf coaches present topics of “transition from junior golf to college golf”, “Life skills for college freshman”, “Be the student in student-athlete”. The junior golf campers also spend time on the range learning different drills that the coaches do with there own teams. This is about educating the golfer and the student. Camp includes instruction, development, competition and interaction. When the junior golf campers and parents are not in seminars, they are on the golf course with the college golf coaches. Each junior golf camper will be experience the opportunity to learn from some of the greatest college golf coaches in the country.

Really, I get to talk to the coaches?
Yes, both campers and parents will get multiple opportunities to speak with our coaches. You should expect 3 days of golf camp with unique opportunities to improve your knowledge and skills in golf.

Are parents able to participate?
Heck ya!! Parents, this is NOT a camp where you just want to drop your junior golfer off and say see ya later. 99% of parents attend camp but they do not have to attend. We just highly suggest it. Parents should be engaged during all of the seminars. There is so much information it’s hard for one person to capture all of it. More ears the better. We like to say that parents are encouraged to be involved in everything but the golf. When the junior golf campers are on the golf course we ask the parents to stay 50-100 yards away. This allows CGC to create the best learning environment possible for the junior golfer. Parents are allowed on the golf course. Parents are not allowed to caddy. This is very much a junior golf camp where parents need to be involved. We like the opportunity to educate the junior golfer and the parent.

Does the camp fee included hotel?
No, it does not. Why? Because so many families have timeshares, condos, hotel deals, etc. We have a “camper” discounted rate at our host hotel, however we do not provide lodging. Junior golfers need to arrange for their own lodging.

Are the coaches there for the entire camp or just a short period?
The coaches are in attendance from the beginning of camp to the end of camp.

Can we leave early?
Yes, this is your junior golf camp so you can come and go as you please. However, we encourage you to stay as much as possible. Every CGC event has a handful of junior golfers who need to leave early for whatever reason. We just ask that you communicate with us prior to leaving early.

How does the payment process work?
Typical timeline: We ask for $695 deposit upon registration. We will then bill you the balance in two payments. Each junior golf camper is expected to be paid in full within 60 days of registration. All junior golfers must be paid in full 30 days prior to the camp. In the event, you register inside 30 days of the camp, we will call and arrange for final payment. Please carefully consider your schedule and your commitments prior to registering for any camp.

Do you have to qualify for the camp?
No, we do not have a process of qualifying because you do not have to qualify. We hope each junior golfer has a great attitude and effort. Again, college golf camps is open to any/all entrants limited only by number, age, grade level or gender.

What are the ages of the campers? And is my junior golfer too young?
College Golf Camps is open to any junior golfer ages 10-19. The average age of our campers is roughly between 14-16. However, we have had several 7th and 8th graders attend each of our camps. Most of the time, the parents of those younger junior golfers walk away saying “we are so thankful we have all this information at a young age”. The majority of junior golf campers are Freshman, Sophomores and Juniors in high school. We do have several Seniors who attend each camp.

What are the distances of the competition?
Standard yardages:
Boys 14U – 6000 – 6300 yards
Boys 15-18 – 6600 – 6800 yards
Girls 14U – 5700 – 6000 yards
Girls 15-18 – 6000 – 6300 yards
