Upon arrival in Scotland, you’ll collect your luggage and transfer to North Berwick. After checking into your lodging and getting settled:

• Athletes will check in, meet their chaperones, and head out for a round on North Berwick’s Wee Course. Just steps from the clubhouse at North Berwick Golf Club, this 9-hole par-3 layout is as fun as it is historic. Opened in 1888, it was created to introduce beginners and juniors to the game, but it’s equally enjoyed by seasoned players looking for a lighthearted challenge. The holes range from 70 to just over 130 yards, offering a perfect blend of short-game practice and seaside scenery. It’s an ideal way for the SJGI athletes to shake off the travel on arrival day, and with Scotland’s long summer evenings, it’s also perfect for casual matches after dinner. Whether sharpening your wedge play or enjoying a relaxed loop with friends, the Wee Course delivers pure golfing joy.

Parents are invited to join an optional afternoon walking tour of this charming coastal town, highlighting its history, hidden gems, and must-visit spots you won’t want to miss during your stay.

This year's trip lines up with one of golf's most electric weeks — The Open Championship returns to St Andrews, and the group arrives just as the R&A transforms the Old Course into a major championship stage. Grandstands will already be rising around the 1st, 17th, and 18th holes, and the buzz of the Home of Golf gearing up for the oldest championship in the sport is impossible to miss.

With tee times at a premium during Open week, every athlete will be entered into a ballot for a coveted round on the Old Course — the same turf that has hosted golf since the 15th century and decided Open Championships for generations. Athletes not drawn for the Old Course will instead play one of St Andrews' other historic layouts, ensuring the entire team tees it up in St Andrews on the same day.

Regardless of which course they draw, every athlete's round serves as a practice round ahead of the SJGI Team Matches at Stirling and the Team Finals over the next two days — a fitting warm-up, played in the town where the game began, in the very week the world's best arrive to chase the Claret Jug.
