Golf Camps for Kids: Are They Worth It?

Golf camps are a fantastic opportunity for young golfers to immerse themselves in the sport. They offer a unique blend of intensive training, fun activities, and social interaction that can significantly benefit young players.

An effective golf camp will be designed to provide comprehensive instruction, covering everything from basic techniques to advanced strategies, ensuring that children of all skill levels can improve their game.

In this blog post we are exploring the topic of junior golf camps in more detail, with particular focus on the camps offered here at Grooves Golf. Players of all abilities are welcome at our golf camps, making for a diverse and exciting day that offers something for everyone. 

These full-day courses can be supplemented with our other junior golf coaching options, including group coaching and individual lessons. 

Benefits of Golf Camps

Unlike regular lessons, a golf camp is a full day experience that covers all aspects of the game and provides a great opportunity to meet new friends and develop skills along the way.

Junior golf camp

With two different junior camps available here at Grooves Golf (one for beginners and one for more experienced players) we believe that every young golfer can find the perfect programme to suit their skill level and aspirations.

Skills Improvement

Golf camps provide an intensive environment where young golfers can make substantial improvements. The extended time on the course and driving range allows for more in-depth practice and repetition, which is crucial for mastering golf techniques. 

Our camps are structured to cover all aspects of the game, from driving and putting to course management and mental strategies. With personalised instruction from experienced coaches, each child receives the attention needed to refine their swing, improve accuracy, and build confidence in their abilities. 

Social Benefits

One of the greatest benefits to come from every golf camp we host is the camaraderie among our junior players, and the chance to learn and play alongside other young players.

Lifelong friendships are formed on the golf course - something that we see across all age groups. And there really is nothing better than spending a full day on the course with your friends!

Fun and Engagement

Golf camps at Grooves Golf are designed to be as enjoyable as they are educational. Our programmes blend skill development with fun activities, ensuring that young golfers stay engaged and motivated throughout the day. Interactive games, friendly competitions, and social events create a lively atmosphere where children can learn while having fun. This balance of learning and enjoyment helps create a genuine love for the game.

Grooves Golf Junior Golf Camps

Now it’s time to introduce you to Grooves Golf and what makes our camps so popular.

Grooves Golf junior golf camp

All of our golf camps are hosted at Rudding Park - the home of Grooves Golf and the most comprehensive golf venue in the North of England. 

Our junior golf camp designed for beginners and intermediate junior golfers aged 6-12 takes place on the excellent Repton 6 hole course. Here, juniors will develop basic skills and gain some valuable on course experience.

For junior golfers aged 10-16 who already have experience of playing 18 holes, our Hawtree full day golf camp ticks all the boxes. This camp is held on the renowned Hawtree course at Rudding Park, known for its challenging layout and beautiful scenery. Juniors will have the opportunity to play on a course designed by the esteemed golf course architect Martin Hawtree, offering an exceptional environment to refine their skills, tackle diverse challenges, and elevate their game to the next level.

Each of our junior camps have limited spaces available to ensure that every attendee benefits from full support from their coach, with smaller numbers allowing for more time on the course and a higher number of balls hit throughout the day.

Is a Golf Camp Right for Your Child?

The final question is one that only you and your child can answer - is golf camp right for you?

We recommend our Repton golf camp to players who have little to no experience on the course but who are keen to explore and find out more about the game and whether it’s something they want to pursue. The full day structure of this camp means your child will enjoy plenty of time on and off the course, deciding if golf is something they want to pursue further through our coaching courses.

Our more experienced golf camp on the highly acclaimed Hawtree course offers a challenging opportunity for more established players to finesse their skills alongside a select group of likeminded juniors. We find that this camp bridges fun with skills development and sends every attendee home a more confident and accomplished player.

Booking a Place on One of Our Golf Camps

Here at Grooves Golf, we believe that golf should be as much about fun and engagement as it is about skills and strategy. That’s why our junior golf camps seek to connect junior players of all abilities, unlocking new skills together and learning from each other to create a new generation of enthusiastic golfers.
