Gullane with 300 years of history is a “must play” for all golfers.

Day 7
Play at Gleneagles
Gleneagles boasts three superb parkland golf courses, the King’s Course and Queen’s Course, both designed by the legendary James Braid and the modern Monarch’s Course, designed by Jack Nicklaus. While the King’s Course is perceived as being the jewel in Gleneagles’ crown, picking the best would be a difficult decision to make.
The King’s Course has drawn nothing but the highest prices from various golfing experts. When Lee Trevino first played here, he remarked “if heaven is as good as this, I sure hope they have some tee times left”. Braid’s plan for the King’s Course was to test even the most accomplished golfers’ shot making skills, a goal he achieved with admirable results. One of the most exhilarating venues at which to play golf, the King’s Course offers a majestic layout, springy moorland turf and sweeping views of the surrounding countryside.
