GLENEAGLES 5*

The King's Course has been a frequent stop on both the PGA Tour and Ladies European Tour since its inception in 1919. James Braid was determined to create a course which placed the emphasis on the golfer's ability to shape his shots and be creative, which explains why Lee Trevino, one of the most natural players to ever paly the game, said that, "If Heaven is as good as this, I sure hope they have some tee-times left."

Threading through the high ridges on the north and east side of the estate, the Queen's has many moorland characteristics, and offers beautiful woodland settings as the course meanders through the glen. With indigenous lochans and streams incorporated as water hazards, this is a beautiful and genuine Perthshire classic.

Jack Nicklaus' monster PGA Centenary will host the 2014 Ryder Cup Matches, and while most agree that the Golden Bear has created a modern classic, Jack himself gave the credit to the canvas he was supplied with, saying that it was "the finest parcel of land in the world I have ever been given to work with."

For a bit of light relief, the charming Wee Course is great entertainment for beginners and experts alike.

After your round, enjoy Andrew Fairlie's signature ‘Smoked Lobster', the result of up to twelve hours of smoking over whisky barrels.

The Gleneagles Hotel is part of the Five Red Star Resort, and has recently celebrated its 80^th anniversary. The quality of service on offer is unrivalled, with the hotel retaining a member of staff for each hotel guest.

The grandiose building was designed to emulate the opulent style of a French chateau, while the manicured gardens were inspired by the celebrated 18^th century horticulturalist Capability Brown.

Whilst it is luxurious and impeccably furnished, the management maintains a relaxed attitude, in contrast to the stiff, austere atmosphere of other 5* hotels.

Set amidst 850 acres of Scotland's most beautiful scenery, there are few finer destinations for a relaxing getaway.

The estate offers a wealth of outdoor pursuits including horse riding, shooting, fly-fishing, falconry, mountain biking, tennis, squash and off-road driving. Indoors at 'The Club' there is state of the art fitness equipment, swimming pools, spa, Turkish baths, a sauna as well as first-class health and beauty treatments.
