RV Golf Schools - St Andrews Development Golf Camp

St Andrews - Development Camp

Founded by Rick Valentine with over 20 years of experience running schools golf, golf camps and junior development, Rick has developed a unique camp experience to engage and develop junior golfers of all ages and abilities with a combination of camp options.

Our St Andrews camps are based in the heart of St Andrews using the St Andrews University for our accommodation, Elmwood Golf Club for our coaching and the surrounding courses for our afternoon golf. Our development golfers receive 2 hours coaching each morning followed by a combination of 9 and 18 holes of golf in the afternoon supporting by our team of camp staff and PGA professionals.

After golf we have our evening activities programme which includes beach games, quizes and sightseeing walks around St Andrews.
