What will your child’s day actually look like? Our junior golf camps combine professional coaching, time on Scottish golf courses and opportunities to build friendships, confidence and independence.
The order varies by week and golf experience, but the outline below gives families a flavour of camp life.
Starting the day together
For residential golfers, the day begins with breakfast and time to get ready for the programme. Non-residential golfers join us at the designated meeting point, with parents arranging daily transport.
Professional coaching and practice
Every experience includes two hours of professional group coaching each day, tailored to the golfers’ age, ability and objectives.
Sessions cover different parts of the game, from longer shots and approach play to the short game and putting. The aim is to help golfers understand what they are working on, enjoy practising and build confidence in their skills.
Golfers on Ultimate, Hidden Gems and Signature can also choose the optional High Performance Coaching upgrade for more individual analysis and specialist support.
Lunch and time to recharge
Lunch provides a break between activities and a chance to spend time with fellow golfers. It is included for both residential and non-residential campers.
These everyday moments are part of the camp experience: getting to know golfers from different places, sharing stories and building friendships.
Putting learning into practice on the course
Course time gives golfers opportunities to use their skills, make decisions and experience different golfing challenges.
Development golfers play courses suited to younger players and their stage of development. Ultimate offers a varied programme of Scottish golf, while Hidden Gems and Signature cater for established 18-hole golfers.
The planned courses vary by week and experience. Our 2027 camp schedules explain the programme for each option.
Evenings for residential golfers
After the golf programme, residential golfers have dinner, time to relax and organised evening activities.
Camp is about more than improving a golf swing. Spending time together away from the course helps golfers build friendships, become more independent and grow in confidence, with support from the RVGS team.
Non-residential golfers leave after the day’s programme. Breakfast and dinner are not included in their booking.
Residential or non-residential?
Non-residential places are available during our St Andrews weeks — Weeks 1, 3 and 4 — subject to availability. They include the same coaching and on-course golf programme, plus lunch. Parents arrange accommodation and daily transport.
Week 2 — The Open Week, 10–17 July 2027 — is residential only.
Planning your 2027 camp
Our main summer programme runs from 4–31 July 2027. Choose one week or combine several weeks, with a golf experience suited to your golfer’s age, playing experience and ambitions.
