Glenegles - The King's Course Golf Trips and Golf Outings
One of the most recognisable names in golf is Gleneagles. It's understandable why considering that Scotland is home to three of the best golf courses and has recently hosted The Ryder and Solheim Cups. Perthshire has stunning golf courses in stunning locations that are equally enjoyable for beginners and pros to play.
The King's Course, designed by James Braid and inaugurated in 1919, is a masterpiece of golf course architecture that has put the game's elite, both professional and amateur, to the test.
General Manager of the Caledonian Railway Company Donald Matheson had the concept for a hotel at Gleneagles in 1908. He envisioned creating a "Palace in the Glens" that would draw affluent and aristocratic rail travellers. The King's course was created by James Braid, the five-time Open Champion, with help from Major C.K. Hutchison and Matheson.
The King's course at Gleneagles is unquestionably the best moorland course in the world, and Gleneagles is the ideal mountain location for a round of golf. Simply breathtaking are the vistas of the Ochil Hills, the summits of Ben Vorlich, and the Trossachs.
Given the most ideal terrain on which to construct a golf course, Braid created one that is truly unique. The holes fit in with the surroundings well. The springy fairways wind through severe rough that is covered in gorse and heather. A few of the holes have natural amphitheatres thanks to the abundance of mature pine, silver birch, and rowan trees.
This golf course enchants you without fail. Even the names of the holes—Silver Tassie, Blink Bonnie, and Wee Bogle—evoke strong emotions. However, the sights are likely to make it difficult for you to focus on the game. "The beauty of the site is without any doubt; the exact merits of the course may be more difficult to decide," Bernard Darwin wrote in Golf Between Two Wars. Darwin continued by stating that the race was quite lengthy even for people like J. H. Taylor and Sandy Herd since the ground used to be sluggish. The ball continued to run farther and farther as the earth hardened beneath the feet of thousands, which caused the scoring to drop.
The Kings Course at Gleneages is ranked as the #16 course in the Scotland, Britain and Ireland area by The Top 100 Golf Courses. It is 6,790 yards long from the tips, with the par set at 71.
