For years, ISSFT’s Golf Programme has stood out as one of the most popular electives in our summer school — attracting ambitious young golfers from every corner of the world. From complete beginners to future professionals, it’s the course that blends skill, precision, and passion with Scotland’s legendary golfing landscape.

This summer, that legacy reaches new heights as ISSFT Golf moves to St Andrews — the birthplace of golf and one of the most inspiring locations a young player could ever experience.

A Proven Success Story

ISSFT has a proud tradition of delivering PGA-qualified coaching and giving students access to some of Scotland’s finest championship and links courses. Over the years, several of our young golfers have gone on to pursue the sport professionally, a reflection of both their dedication and the exceptional training environment ISSFT provides.

And for a few very lucky players, the journey has even included teeing off on the world-famous Old Course at St Andrews — a truly unforgettable milestone that few teenagers can claim.

The Same Excellence, an Iconic New Setting

Our move from Stirling to St Andrews marks an evolution, not a change of standards. Students can still expect:
✔︎ PGA-qualified instruction tailored to each player’s goals
✔︎ On-course play and performance analysis
✔︎ Small group coaching focused on confidence and control
✔︎ Premium accommodation and full supervision

The only difference? This time, they’ll be practising within sight of the Old Course, inspired by the traditions of golf’s greatest players.

Where Golf Meets Global Education

At ISSFT, golf is more than a sport — it’s part of a balanced academic and elective experience. Mornings are spent in the classroom studying subjects such as Global Leadership, Entrepreneurship, or English Language, while afternoons unfold on the fairways. Students develop discipline, focus, and teamwork — skills that serve them both in competition and in life.

The Magic of the ISSFT Golf Experience

ISSFT golfers don’t just learn to play better — they learn to think like athletes, lead like professionals, and connect with peers from around the world. Each year, players leave with new skills, lifelong friendships, and memories that last far beyond summer.

So when people ask why our Golf Programme is so sought-after, the answer is simple:
it combines the heritage of St Andrews, the quality of PGA coaching, and the ambition of young golfers who dream big.
