Gleneagles: The King's Course

James Braid's moorland classic in the Perthshire hills, a lovely counterpoint to the links.

The King’s Course, Gleneagles, Perthshire

James Braid's King's Course is the classic of Gleneagles: heather, pine and rolling moorland in the Perthshire hills, with the Ochils on the horizon.

Inland golf offers a welcome change of pace between links rounds. The resort's other courses, the Queen's and the PGA Centenary, host of the 2014 Ryder Cup, lie alongside.
