Four-day camps provide junior golfers with fun, competitive, educational experience
(WATERSOUND, Fla.) — Camp Creek Golf Club — the award-winning Tom Fazio design developed by The St. Joe Company and located along Northwest Florida’s stunning Gulf Coast — today announces a series of four-day junior golf camps, offering education sessions, instruction, prizes and more.
Camps are scheduled for the mornings of June 14-17, June 21-24 and July 12-15. An additional “Little Pro’s” session, for juniors who have attended at least one previous camp, is scheduled for the mornings of July 19-22. All camps are $125 per golfer.
The comprehensive itinerary includes golf instruction, etiquette lessons, contests, prize drawings and a 10-hole scramble at nearby Origins Golf Course, an innovative “concept” course designed by Davis Love III. Teaching professionals will give lessons on the short game, iron play and tee shots, as well as golf ball flight and how to fade and draw the ball.
“The 2010 Junior Camps at Camp Creek Golf Club are aimed at providing young players with a better understanding of every aspect of golf, from playing the game, to the proper etiquette,” says Jaxon Hardy, head golf professional at Camp Creek. “We want participants to have fun while receiving instruction that will foster enjoyment of the game and keep them on the course for years to come.”
The camps will feature putting contests with the winners receiving a Camp Creek shirt, hat or golf balls. Each session will conclude with a pizza party, where awards and certificates will be presented, and a drawing will be held for a driver.
Camps are limited to 14 golfers, ages 8 and up. It is preferred golfers bring their own clubs due to limited availability.

About Camp Creek
Since opening in 2001, Camp Creek has been consistently cited as one of Tom Fazio’s most thought-provoking, aesthetically-stunning design credits. Featuring a unique “dunescape” appearance, the layout is framed by sand dunes and native grasses. From the back green tees, the course plays to a championship caliber yardage of 7,159 and a formidable slope rating of 152 (one of the highest in the state). Camp Creek’s five-tee configuration, which also includes gold (senior) and red (women’s) tees, accommodates players of all skill and experience levels. It is ranked among the top courses in the state by Golfweek, GOLF Magazine and Golf Digest. It has also been recognized for its environmental stewardship through designation as a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary by the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary System (ACSS). Superintendent Larry Livingston was similarly distinguished as a certified Audubon Steward. Camp Creek is operated by Troon Golf, the leader in upscale golf course-management.
