St Andrews Links® Golf Academy

St Andrews Links Academy boasts some of the finest state-of-the-art teaching facilities as well as a great short game area and driving range. While in St Andrews, Steve North and his team of PGA professional will be working on teaching our juniors the key aspects to mastering the Links game. There will be no swing reconstructions or technical pointers unless this is something the individual would like. We will be working on teaching the juniors how best to play the links game. This will include trajectory control, shot shaping and spin control. Around the greens will include bump and run chip shots, pot bunker play and long putting. All these things will help prepare the juniors for the challenges that lie ahead of them when playing Links golf.

St Andrews Links® Golf Courses

St Andrews is famously known around the world as the Home of Golf. In total the town has 189 holes of golf to choose from which offers juniors on our golf camps an exciting variety of links golf to experience. St Andrews Links Trust currently operates six courses on the links – the world-renowned Old Course, the New Course (established in 1895), the Jubilee (1897), the Eden (1914), the Strathtyrum (1993) and the nine-hole Balgove. A seventh – The Castle Course – has been built in a panoramic coastal setting to the south of the town.

*Courses scheduled are below, but parents are welcome to place their name on the lottery, extend their trip and play The Old Course.

St Andrews Golf Links

The Eden Course - Only slightly more forgiving than its contemporaries on the seaward side of the Links, the Eden Course was built in 1914 by Harry S. Colt whose use of natural boundaries and severe bunkers provides a course full of character.

Dumbarnie Links

At first glance, Dumbarnie Links may have the appearance of the style of the classic links courses where The Open Championship has been played since 1860. However, the extensive 345-acre site at Dumbarnie is particularly special. Its dual elevations, which are connected by a flowing escarpment, have provided the opportunity to create a number of elevated tees where holes play directly towards panoramic views of the expansive Firth of Forth.

Kingsbarns Golf Links

Kingsbarns is situated 7 miles from St Andrews along 1.8 miles of picturesque North Sea coastline, where each hole embraces the sea. In addition to enjoying our Worldwide Top 100 ranked course, we hope lifelong memories of our comfortable, friendly and attentive service complete your “Kingsbarns Experience”.

The Torrance Course

The Torrance Course is a traditional par 72 championship course where the front 9 works its way around the hotel prior to utilizing the property's sea views on the back nine. Blending the principles of links golf with a more modern style, the course provides memorable golf days for players of all abilities.

Fairmont St Andrews Golf Courses

Participants will play either The Torrance or The Kittocks Golf Courses. Conveniently located at the Fairmont St Andrews where all participants in the Parent/Child Camps stay, these golf courses are among the best in the world.
