OUR COURSES
Three world-renowned championship golf courses
Gleneagles’ reputation as a sporting paradise has flourished for over a century, and golf sits at its very heart. Our three championship golf courses in Perthshire, Scotland celebrate the history and evolution of golf itself – from The King’s Course, our Braid-designed masterpiece and ‘inland links’ classic, and The Queen’s Course, one of the finest par-68 heathland golf courses in the UK, to our contemporary Nicklaus-designed PGA Centenary Course. These 54 holes offer a world-class golfing experience to a broad spectrum of enthusiasts, from novices through to the finest players in the world.
Designed by the legendary James Braid, the heather and heathland based King’s has enthralled golfers for a hundred years with 18 regal holes you’ll want to play again and again. This truly is one of the best golf courses in Scotland.
When you visit a golf resort in Scotland, scenic views are a must-have. There are few more beautiful courses in the world than The Queen’s. Home to high ridges, woodland settings, lochans and water hazards, it’s a place that will test and enchant all at once, thanks to the glorious Perthshire countryside.
Created by 18-time major winner, Jack Nicklaus, this modern masterpiece of a golf course played host to the heart stopping excitement of both the Ryder and Solheim Cups. Now comes your chance to follow in the footsteps of champions.
This is the perfect place to learn to fall in love with golf over nine delightful par 3 holes. One of the best golf courses in Scotland for beginners, you’ll be able to work on your game on this charming golf course in Perthshire, amongst beautiful Scottish scenery.

Welcoming the world’s leading golfers to Scotland

As Team Europe Captains, Paul McGinley and Catriona Matthew – and all the other great sporting figures who have led a team to victory here over the last 100 years – have attested, Gleneagles, with its breath-taking backdrop and golfing heritage, provides a setting for rising to the challenge like no other.
