Gleneagles Golf Resort Review

Scotland is undeniably the birthplace of the modern 18 hole format of golf and is also home to the oldest golf course in the world, St Andrews Old Course. Golf originated on Scotland’s east coast and home grown legends like Old Tom Morris and James Braid, were instrumental in making golf what it is today. Thus, Scotland is rightly renowned for its historic links courses. Illustrious venues including St Andrews, Turnberry, Carnoustie, Royal Troon and Muirfield can be found at the top of many golfers lists dream golf destinations. Hoards of golfers continue to flock to the home of golf and perhaps the best way to experience the best of Scottish golf is to tour around these most sought after of venues. Although links golf is important in a historic sense it is not all that Scotland has to offer. 40 miles North West of Edinburgh, in Perthshire, you will find the unbelievably lavish and all encompassing Gleneagles Hotel and Golf Resort. Here you will find a luxurious, five star hotel that provides unparalleled service and certainly deserves its reputation as one of the very finest hotels in not just the UK, but the world. Read more
