Junior Golf Programs in South Jersey
Junior Golf Camps & Clinics at Running Deer
Still Quietly Superior
At Running Deer Golf Club, we believe the FUNdamentals of golf are best learned outside, on the course, with friends. Our junior golf camps and clinics introduce young golfers across South Jersey to the etiquette of the course, the rules of the game, and the camaraderie that turns a few summer mornings into a lifelong sport. Whether your child is picking up a club for the first time or sharpening their swing before fall school golf tryouts, our two-track program meets them where they are.
Junior golfers train across our wooded, scenic course in Pittsgrove, NJ — Salem County’s premier semi-private layout — under the direct instruction of PGA Professional Scott Dunn. Scott handles registration personally and runs both the multi-day Summer Golf Camps and the season-long Saturday Junior Clinics. Reach Scott directly at [email protected] or call the Member Services team at 856-358-2000 to ask about age placement, skill level, or which program works best for your young golfer.
Summer Golf Camps
Our Summer Golf Camps are three-day intensives perfect for beginner and intermediate junior golfers. Campers learn every part of the game in the right order: course etiquette, sportsmanship, the rules of golf, proper grip, alignment and set up, body rotation, weight transfer, and ball position. Most importantly, juniors spend real time playing on the course and meeting new friends — the FUNdamentals of golf, learned the way the game was meant to be learned.
Co-ed, Ages 6-17 | $325 Per Camper (2026 pricing)
The 2026 camps have wrapped — thank you to every camper who joined us this summer! 2027 camp dates will be announced in the spring.
