![]() ![]() 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 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 natural beauty of the Queen's Course inspires the world's most experienced players. The Queen's Course, in its long history, has played host to some of the world's golfing greats. The beautiful settings and the challenge of the golf have attracted such top golfers as Johnny Miller, Greg Norman, Seve Ballesteros, Tom Watson, and Lee Trevino, as well as great names from the entertainment and sports worlds including Sean Connery, Burt Lancaster, Bing Crosby, Jackie Stewart, and astronaut Alan Shepard (the only man to hit a golf shot on the moon). Threading through high ridges on the north and west sides of the estate, the Queen's offers lovely woodland settings, lochans and ditches as water hazards, as well as many moorland characteristics. At 3,192 yards long, the challenge of the first nine can be deceptive, with even some of the best players finding it a test to make par into a fresh southwesterly breeze. Do not be lulled into a sense of false security as you stand on the first tee. The "Trystin' Tree," or lover's meeting place, after which the hole is named, is a challenging opener. The ground falls away at your feet, the fairway swings round to the left and slopes towards the trees, and there are a couple of cunningly placed bunkers testing your approach into the miniscule green.
