No 51 - Gleneagles - Queen's
Gleneagles Queen's course is extremely attractive and kept in as good a condition as its stablemates. It's great fun to play and there are plenty of stunning views
51 GLENEAGLES – Queen’s
Architect: Braid 2006 position: 40 Stats: 5,965 yds; par 68; SSS 70 GF: £70-£145 T: 0800 389 3737 W: gleneagles.com
The Queen’s course is occasionally described in slightly disparaging, patronising terms in relation to the King’s and PGA Centenary course, but this is unfair.
Comparatively short it may be with a par of 68, but it is extremely attractive and kept in as good a condition as its stablemates.
Arguably, for the average player it provides a more enjoyable day’s golf and is probably the prettiest of the three.
The design makes full use of the natural slopes, lochs and woodlands with majestic trees, vast expanses of gorse, and plenty of opportunity to spot both pheasant and deer. SP
+ Great fun; magnificent views - Pricey; perhaps too short for modern golf; slightly quirky layout
