Golf at the Gleneagles® Hotel is a blend of natural experience and golfing adventure on three championship golf courses set in the splendor of the Perthshire hills in Scotland.

The golf courses were the inspiration of two of the world's most famous golfers, James Braid, five times winner of the Open Championship who designed the King's and Queen's, and Jack Nicklaus, Golfer of the 20th Century, who created the PGA Centenary Course. The Gleneagles® Hotel is proud to be hosting the Ryder Cup Matches in 2014. This event will take place on The PGA Centenary Course.

From the friendly welcome to the drive home, everything you could possibly ask for in a day's golf, Scotland golf tour or vacation, can be found here at the Gleneagles Hotel and golf resort: magnificent courses, luxury locker rooms, exclusive brands and a relaxed clubhouse serving great food and drink. Whether a leading pro or enthusiastic beginner, the Gleneagles golf courses are a test for any golfer, making your golf vacation in Scotland the vacation of a lifetime.

Course Description
The PGA Centenary Course, created by Jack Nicklaus, is a modern classic.

Even for a champion and acclaimed golf architect like Nicklaus, The PGA Centenary Course was a challenge.

It had to be a great course and, set as it is in the heart of Scotland, the country that gave the world golf, Nicklaus describes the course as "The finest parcel of land in the world I have ever been given to work with." It had to be unique in its challenge, a course in the modern design ethos that at its fullest stretch tests the greatest players, while, in the immortal phrase of Bobby Jones, "offering problems a man may attempt according to his ability... never hopeless for the lesser player nor failing to concern and interest the expert."

From the back tees, the PGA Centenary Course measures 7,320 yards. The tees are graded at each hole in five stages, including a challenging 6,815 yards from the white markers down to 5,322 from the red. Fittingly, the PGA Centenary Course begins by playing southeast towards the famed glen of the eagles sweeping up the Ochil Hills to the summit of the pass below Ben Shee which joins it to Glendevon.

A feature of the PGA Centenary Course is the feast of views of the spectacular countryside in which Gleneagles is set. Putting on the two-tier second green, you are distracted by the lush panorama of the rich Perthshire straths. As you move westwards over the next few holes, the rugged Grampians come into view on the right, then distantly purple ahead, Ben Vorlich and the mountains above the Trossachs.
