Scotland was an amazing experience! Trying new things and being in a new culture was great and I would recommend everyone go abroad. I grew and changed in so many ways during my time in Scotland and I will take that experience with me throughout my life. The staff at SRUC Elmwood where I studied were extremely professional and helpful. They did their best to make sure we had what we needed and were enjoying our stay at all times. If you are a golf fanatic this is the trip for you. Crossing the Swilcan bridge on 18 is one of the best feeling in golf!

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?

Haggis was surprisingly good. Get a haggis roll!

Pros

Living in a new culture
Gaining travel experience
University Staff

Cons

Can get expensive
Some details were misrepresented

This program is a great way to play and study golf in the home of golf. The facilities are nice, teaching staff is wonderful, and the courses are breath taking. SRUC Elmwood has done a great job in customizing the trip to our interest and helping us hit all of our main goals on our bucket list. While the social scene and golf was great there was a large lack of communication from the Adelante side. The itinerary provided was incorrect and there were multiple false promises that initially sold the program for me. It was a disappoint to start the program and learn how expensive this trip would be when I was originally informed that most of the cost I was concerned about would be covered in the fees I paid for the program.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?

I signed up for this program alone without any friends from school and I was genuinely terrified. Now that the program is over I can say it was one of the best decisions of my life. I have made friends that will last a lifetime and some I would even call family. Having an open mind when traveling abroad is super important otherwise you will miss out on moments you would never dream of.

Pros

Great location
Cool restaurants/ social scene
Cool Golf

Cons

EXPENSIVE
Lack of communication
Unorganized

Great program with fun golf. We had some awesome site visits for learning golf history, and we also met the GM at Dumbarnie who went over a bit of golf management with us. Front end Adelante group says misleading things about the program itself like 'Included golf during weekdays,' 'coaching at St Andrews or Gleneagles' (we coached at Elmwood GC), and the itinerary given for the month wasn't followed. The SRUC staff were fantastic but Adelante needs to improve upon their end of the program. Overall it was a fun program, just a bit frustrating because my expectations were so high based off the conversations I had with the Adelante team.

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?

I didn't think haggis was going to be good but the pork and haggis roll at the old course halfway house was pretty good.

Pros

Golf at nicest courses in the world
Incredible education on coaching
Improve your golf game

Cons

Misleading front end conversations
Doesn't follow Itinerary
Expensive after the program fees to pay for golf in scotland

This study abroad program really opened my eyes to a variety of new things. I enjoyed all of the golf I was able to play and I was able to hit all of my target courses. I met some great people and have shared great memories and thus this will be a trip that I remember for the rest of my life. I would recommend studying abroad to almost anyone and everyone that is considering to study abroad. Aswell as recommending it, you should expect to spend more money than planned on if you are truly coming here to play golf alongside the classroom experience.

What would you improve about this program?

What I would improve is the advertising and communication side of things previous to the program. All of the staff and facilities on the Scotland side of things have been nothing but incredible. I think we only stayed on the schedule provided for us by Adelante all but 2 or 3 days, the rest we did not know the plan of but until the night before.

Pros

Great people
Great golf if you pay for it
Living in St. Andrews

Cons

Expect to spend more money than planned on
Golf range is a £30 cab

Throughout this past month in Scotland I have one of the best experiences ever. Not only has this program added to my resume through education and learning how to teach golf but also the amount of beautiful courses that we had the opportunity to play and explore. this program has improved my golf game tremendous and give me the opportunity to play a style of golf that we do not get to experience back at home. Overall this experience abroad has been amazing and I will definitely travel back to Scotland.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?

in my opinion the most nerve racking part of this trip was coming to a different country on my own and it was easy to overcome because i met some amazing friends upon arrival.

Pros

Amazing Golf courses
Great accommodation's
Amazing SRUC instructors

Cons

could use more practice sessions
Paying for more golf than expected

When I heard about this trip I was not only curious but also excited to learn more about it. As the trip got closer, I started learning more about it and was super pumped to come to Scotland to learn and play golf. Graeme, Ian, and Gary were the nicest and most fun teachers I could have asked for and I am so glad I got to know them. I got to play many top tier golf courses and experience everything Scotland has to offer. Getting to get on the train to Edinburgh was also amazing. I am a big Harry Potter fan and it was cool to see all of the landmarks there.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?

My most nerve racking moment was teeing off on the first tee of the Old Course. The history and unbelievable views of the city brought so much excitement and nerves and as soon as I swung the club the nerves went away instantly. Not to mention there were more than 50 people watching my first tee shot!

Pros

Play lots of good golf courses
Eat great food at many nice restauraunts
Meet some really cool people

Cons

Very pricey
Did not follow itenary most of the time
Adelante did not live up to some of the promises

Throughout our time over in Scotland for a month. We had an amazing time here, and thoroughly enjoyed our time. The best part of our trip was living together and just spending so much time together. Then Graeme and Gary were also amazing and super helpful. We also meet lots of amazing people while we were over here. You could meet someone anywhere here. Living in St. Andrews was one of the best parts everything was within walking distance, and if it was raining there was an amazing taxi service.

What was your funniest moment?

The funniest but also best moment we had was when the girl on our trip made a hole in one while we were playing Dumbarnie Links.

Pros

Gary and Graeme
Living Situation
Dream Courses

Cons

Had to pay for more golf than expected

Had an amazing time.. Would recommend to anyone who loves golf and the world around it! Whether you''re a good golfer or not,, you''ll find a place here with new people.. It's also a great program for friends to attend together as well.. The program leads are nice and accommodating.. I wish the program included more guaranteed or pre-paid rounds at bigger golf courses,, but we were still able to gain access and pay separately from the program, or out of pocket.. Overall, had an awesome time and would recommend to any golfer wishing to see Scotland!

Pros

New culture
Seeing a new place
Fun with new friends

Cons

Accommodation needs updating
Lack of weekend resources (rides, plans)
Not much diversity in food choices
