Resort Overview
The visiting golfer can find every level of the game at Gleneagles. From the Centenary Course, designed by Jack Nicklaus, which hosted the 2014 Ryder Cup, to two other championship-level courses, to a nine-hole track named “The Wee Course,” all the way down to a pitch ’n’ putt loop, there is always more golf to be played at Gleneagles. And if it’s practice you seek, a full PGA academy is also on-site. Off the course, Gleneagles is all about being outdoors. There’s outdoor driving through hills and streams in a rugged jeep. There are trails for cycling, hiking and horse-back riding. There is plenty of room for competition, too, with grass tennis courts, croquet and lawn games.
