Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our junior golf camps in St Andrews. Can’t find what you’re looking for? Get in touch with our team.

  • How do I book my child on a golf camp?

    To book a junior onto one of our golf camps, please click on the “Enquire now” button on the website. Once you have completed a few details we will then be in touch to discuss which camp is best for your child's level and ambitions. Once we have placed your child in the right camp, we will complete the registration and payment.

  • Do you have a booking deadline?

    There is no specific booking deadline, rather we take bookings until all the spaces on our camps are full. However, if you have a specific date and camp in mind, we would encourage you to apply early to avoid disappointment as we only have limited places and our camps fill up fast!

  • Is a 10-night camp long enough?

    We have been running for 14 years now and feel we have the perfect formula for length of stay for each of our golf camps.


    As you will see most of the camps are 10 nights long, but we also do a few 7-night camps.  We believe that 7 nights is the perfect duration for our Introduction to Links Golf Campers, and as a stepping stone onto our Development camp.


    Our Development Camps in July are all 10 nights long. We run one in August for 7 nights and always have a few juniors who stay for both 10 then 7-night camps.


    Our camps give juniors time to immerse themselves in their St Andrews Golf Camp experience of playing golf and coaching every day, having a lot of fun and making a lot of new friends. It is also the ideal chance for international juniors to develop their English-speaking abilities: going home much improved and more confident communicators and golfers!!  


    Many juniors stay for 2 or more camps and this is of course an option, speak to us about potential discounted rates for 2 or more camp bookings.

  • What does my child need to bring to St Andrews Golf Camp?

    On our webpage, you can find a list of what to bring for camp, with each junior needing their own set of clubs, enough golf clothing, and a pair of golf shoes each. After booking, we will send out a more comprehensive list with everything you will need to pack!

  • How much money should they bring with them?

    We would recommend for juniors to bring a minimum amount of £10 spending money per day for snacks, as well as £6 per day for a trolley on the course. Then any extra you may wish to give them for purchase of souvenirs or gifts from St Andrews.
