If you're looking for a way to afford your child's golf camp this summer, consider having your kid commute rather than sleep over. Several camps offer discounts if your child doesn't stay overnight. JT Golf Camps at Furman University in Greenville, S.C., offers a daytime-only camp for $350 instead of the $1,045 overnight campers pay for the Nike Junior Resident Golf Camp that has the same teachers and facilities. At Ole Miss Golf Camp in Oxford, Miss., housing, meals, instruction and play costs $625 for a five-day overnight camp but $525 for day campers.
To find the right one for your young golfer this summer, use our regional listings below.
* Costs include board and instruction while at school for one session, unless otherwise noted; usually includes lodging except those camps designated as day schools. Taxes and gratuities may be extra expenses. Transportation to school site not included. Camp participants should bring their own clubs and golf shoes.
