About Camp

We have created an exciting program of play & practice. Each camper plays 9-18 holes daily on 7 courses with expert instruction at every turn. Our 300 yard on campus driving range & mini course is perfect for honing one's skills & friendly competitions.

Courses include:
Harlem Valley, Hotchkiss, Candlewood Valley Country Club (18 holes), Quarry View, Canaan Country Club, Undermountain (9 holes), Silo Ridge (18 holes)

* There are days when campers play less than 9 holes due to weather and camper stamina.

* We get our campers out on the courses 'first thing' in the morning while it is still cool out.

Who Are We & Why Choose Us?

The Joel Ross philosophy is "Consistency Wins". Consistency comes from confidence & confidence comes from practice. Our campers play 9 holes every morning with the option for at least 9 more in the afternoon & evening. There is no substitute for real course play. Our campers are given every opportunity to improve & have fun!
