Scottish Student Golf Championships Return for 100th Year

Some of the country’s top student golfers are in action at Moray Golf Club this week as part of the Scottish Student Golf Championships.

Over six days of competition, 89 students from eight Scottish universities and colleges will battle it out across both Individual and Team Championships.

2025 marks a milestone year as the Team Championships will be held for the 100th time. While held in a number of locations over its history, Moray Golf Club have been hosts of the annual competition for 25 years with this relationship set to continue.

The six days of competition will be split evenly across the Individual and Team Championships. In the stroke play competition, last year’s bronze medallist Jerry Fang (University of Stirling) is the only podium placer from 2024 to compete this year. Expect him to be pushed by Louis Fleming (UHI) who recently won the 19th West of Scotland Trophy earlier this month.

Izzy Hurrion (University of St. Andrews) set the pace at the Western Gailes club, and she’s joined on the start list by fellow podium placer Abercrombie Nisbet (University of Stirling).

The Team Championships – which follows a match play format – sees a strong showing from the University of Stirling who have entered three teams, going up against the University of Strathclyde and UHI.

In the women’s competition, Stirling’s top golfers will play off in a head to head format.

Commenting, SSS Head of Competitions Chris Purdie said:

“We’re delighted to be back up in Lossiemouth once again for the Scottish Student Golf Championships.

“In Moray Golf Club we have brilliant hosts who every year are so accommodating, ensuring we can give our student competitors the best possible experience on and off the course.

“With 2025 also being our 100th Team Championships, I can’t wait to see the students battle out for this historic title.”
