St Andrews Golf Camp is working exclusively with St Andrews’ prestigious boarding school St Leonards to provide our juniors with excellent student accommodation which has been recently refurbished to a very high standard.
St Leonards school is situated in the very heart of the ancient town. It is just a five -minute walk from the 18th green of the Old Course and located directly next to the ruins of St Andrews Cathedral and harbour. This makes St Leonards not only a beautifully idyllic and very safe place to call home for 10 nights, but a perfect focal point for our young golfers to immerse themselves in the history and traditions that play a huge part of life here in St Andrews.
Bishopshall boarding house at St Leonards is equipped with study bedrooms, common rooms, kitchen facilities, computing facilities and games rooms. Wireless internet access (monitored) is available, enabling our junior golfers to stay in contact with family and friends. Students receive breakfast, lunch and dinner daily utilising a mix of both St Leonard’s excellent dining facilities and the diverse selection of top quality restaurants in St Andrews.
Our camps are split into areas the boys & girls have different wings of the boarding house with our female staff members residing with the girls
