The Gleneagles Hotel

The Gleneagles Hotel is set in a magnificent 850-acre estate, and has three championship golf courses. The King’s and the Queen’s courses were designed by the five time Open winner, James Braid. Its other championship course is The PGA Centenary Course, created by Jack Nicklaus and host to the 2014 Ryder Cup and 2019 Solheim Cup. When off the course, the hotel offers unrivalled 5 star facilities. From the Shooting & Fishing School and the British School of Falconry, to the two Michelin-starred Andrew Fairlie restaurant, you are spoilt for choice. The award-winning Spa at Gleneagles boasts 20 treatment rooms, and is the perfect destination to unwind after a round of golf. Gleneagles is just one hour from Glasgow and Edinburgh, yet feels like a million miles from anywhere. The King's Course opened in 1919 and has hosted the Scottish Open eight times. It is a shot-makers dream, and a masterpiece of design. Threading through high ridges on the north and west sides of the estate, The Queen's Course offers lovely woodland settings, lochans and ditches as water hazards, as well as many moorland characteristics. The PGA Centenary Course had to be a great course and, set as it is in the heart of Scotland, the country that gave the world golf, Nicklaus described the course as "The finest parcel of land in the world I have ever been given to work with". Other courses and practice areas at Gleneagles include the friendly Wee Course , which provides a fun experience for beginners, and a great warm-up for the seasoned golfer. The PGA National Golf Academy of Scotland also has an eleven acre championship practice ground, a nine-hole pitch and putt course, a short-game area, video analysis and several putting greens.
