Residential golf camp in Dollar, United Kingdom
The Open Camp is a residential junior golf camp with accommodation at Dollar Academy, Scotland, from 10–17 July 2027 (seven nights). PGA Professional Rick Valentine has run junior golf camps since 2003. RVGS combines professional coaching and Scottish golf with friendships, confidence, independence and enjoyment. Choose Ultimate (ages 10–18, no official handicap required; £3,150 residential), Hidden Gems (ages 12–18, established 18-hole golfers with an official handicap; £3,300 residential) or Signature (ages 14–18, established 18-hole golfers with a handicap of 15 or better; £3,650 residential). Development is not offered this week. Age guides are a starting point; playing experience and confidence also matter. Every experience includes two hours of professional group coaching each day, alongside golf suited to the group, with a maximum of eight golfers per experience per week. Residential places include accommodation, meals, staff support and organised evening activities. This week is residential only. High Performance Coaching is an optional paid enhancement alongside Ultimate, Hidden Gems and Signature, adding individual analysis and support; it is not a separate camp. Combine this week with our St Andrews camps on 4–10 July, 18–24 July or 25–31 July for a multi-week stay. Complimentary transfers are available from Edinburgh Airport and Edinburgh Waverley only. See our current programme for schedules, availability and full booking details. Photo gallery: Previous RV Golf Schools camps—illustrative of the camp experience, not Dollar Academy facilities.
