Golf Jobs at Summer Camps
Golf jobs at summer camps are a perfect fit for college players, teaching pros, and high school golf coaches who love sharing the game with the next generation. From traditional sleepaway camps with on-property courses and ranges to specialty golf academies partnering with PGA-affiliated clubs nearby, golf staff find rich teaching environments where they can guide campers from first-time swings to refined short games throughout the summer.
As a golf instructor at an overnight camp, you’ll teach swing mechanics, putting, chipping, course management, and rules and etiquette while running drills, on-course play, and intra-camp tournaments. You’ll work across age groups and abilities, from beginners to serious competitive juniors. Many co-ed residential camps run golf alongside tennis and other club sports, giving multi-discipline coaches a packed and rewarding summer.
What does a golf instructor at summer camp do?You’ll teach swing mechanics, putting, chipping, and course management while running on-course play and intra-camp tournaments. Most sleepaway camps with golf programs include daily instruction throughout the summer camp season.
What background works best for golf jobs at sleepaway camps?College golf experience, PGA or LPGA teaching credentials, or strong high school coaching backgrounds are highly valued. Specialty residential golf camps often prefer coaches with serious tournament or teaching backgrounds.
Do summer camps have their own courses?Some specialty residential golf camps maintain on-property short courses or ranges; others partner with nearby clubs for course access. Traditional sleepaway camps often use practice ranges and putting greens on-site for daily instruction.
What does the pay look like for golf jobs at summer camps?Pay is competitive and commensurate with experience and credentials. Overnight camps include room, board, and laundry alongside salary, which adds meaningful value to the overall summer camp package beyond the base figure.
Can current college golfers coach at summer camps?Yes — many co-ed residential camps actively recruit current collegiate golfers. Just verify NIL and NCAA compliance with your athletic department before accepting any paid camp coaching role at a sleepaway camp.
