Signature Collection

Gleneagles is the sort of place you book when you want the hotel to feel as memorable as the golf. This is a Scottish icon that's hosted a Ryder Cup, earned countless awards and houses Andrew Fairlie, which has held two Michelin stars for years (a rare distinction in Scotland). Three championship courses bear the signatures of five-time Open winner James Braid and all-time great Jack Nicklaus, each playing across springy moorland turf with the green Perthshire hills rising to the south and the peaks of the Trossachs and Ben Vorlich framing the western horizon.

The hotel itself attracts as many visitors as the golf. Set among 850 acres of pure Scottish countryside an hour north of Edinburgh, the opulent French chateau-style building and Capability Brown-inspired gardens offer a first glimpse of the comfort inside, where the resort retains an exceptionally high staff-to-guest ratio so service feels effortless. Beyond golf, the estate offers horse riding, shooting, fly-fishing, falconry, off-road driving and a wealth of country pursuits that make this a complete luxury escape.

Gleneagles was named European Golf Resort of the Year for 2019 by the International Association of Golf Tour Operators and continues to rank as one of our customers' highest-rated UK golf resorts.

Who is this for?
Golfers who want a proper five-star Scottish break where you can play championship courses, eat seriously well and still have plenty to do off the course. Great for couples, small groups and societies.

Who is it best for?
Anyone wanting a Ryder Cup tick-off at the PGA Centenary, plus two classic Braid courses for variety. If your group has mixed handicaps, you'll like having three very different tests on the same estate. Perfect for golfers who appreciate history, luxury and variety both on and off the course.

Golf Courses at Gleneagles

Kings Course

The King's Golf Course has been a frequent stop on both the PGA Tour and Ladies European Tour since its inception in 1919. James Braid was determined to create a course which placed the emphasis on the golfer's ability to shape his shots and be creative, which explains why Lee Trevino, one of the most natural players to ever play the game, said that, "If Heaven is as good as this, I sure hope they have some tee-times left."

Did you know?
The King's course hosted the first informal Ryder Cup match with Great Britain winning 9-3

Awards:
Readers of 'Celebrated Living', the luxury magazine for American Airlines, voted the Kings course 6th in their Platinum list of International Golf Courses

Signature hole- No. 18 (Kings Hame): Par 5, 525 yards (Blue), SI 5

Kings' signature 18th is a brilliant finish to a fantastic round and was included in the book, Classic Golf Holes. Straight from the tee, the golfer is presented with a risk-reward shot, whereby, if they can clear the ridge and catch a down-slope, the large green is easily reachable in two. However, the risk comes in the form of two bunkers either side of the ridge, meaning that a few yards could be the difference between birdie and bogey. Once at the green, the golfer is allowed no let up and an uphill front half of the green makes for a challenging finish to a compelling round.

Queens Course

Threading through the high ridges on the north and east side of the estate, the Queen's Golf Course has many moorland characteristics and offers beautiful woodland settings as the course meanders through the glen. With indigenous lochans and streams incorporated as water hazards, this is a beautiful and genuine heathland classic.

Signature hole- No. 12 (The Tinkers Gill): Par 4, 433 yards, SI 2

The Queens Course highlight is the 12th hole. From the tee, the best position is to aim slightly right of the fairway, so that the hole is opened up when the fairway doglegs downhill and left. There is little danger on this drive too, so it is better to be longer in order to make for a shorter approach to a green. When attempting at the well protected green, it is better to aim past the pin in order to leave an uphill putt.

PGA Centenary Course

Jack Nicklaus' monster PGA Centenary Golf Course joined the list of Ryder Cup courses when it hosted the 2014 matches, and while most agree that the Golden Bear has created a modern classic, Jack himself gave the credit to the canvas he was supplied with, saying that it was "the finest parcel of land in the world I have ever been given to work with."

Did you know?
Perhaps the best performance at Gleneagles was by Adam Scott in the 2002 Diageo Scottish PGA Championships. The Australian shot a remarkable round of 23 under, beating the rest of the field by 10 shots!

Signature Hole- No. 5 (Crookit Cratur): Par 4, 461 yards (Blue),SI 1

The gem of the PGA Centenary is the 5th, and at stroke index 1 it will certainly test every golfer. The hole requires much in the way of accuracy and throughout the long par 4, you have to make your way down a narrow fairway. The approach is dangerous too and any mis-hit shots will be swallowed up by the lake short of the hole. A nerve-racking hole with the potential to be a real scorecard wrecker!

Accommodation at Gleneagles

The Gleneagles Hotel is part of a Five Red Star Resort that recently celebrated its 80th anniversary. The grandiose building was designed to emulate a French chateau, while the manicured gardens draw inspiration from celebrated 18th-century horticulturalist Capability Brown. Despite the luxury and impeccable furnishings, the management maintains a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, avoiding the stiff formality often found at other five-star properties.

Set amidst mature Perthshire countryside with views across 850 acres of Scotland's most beautiful scenery, the hotel ensures personalised service throughout your stay. Rooms and suites blend classic elegance with modern comfort, offering spacious layouts, quality linens and views over the estate or surrounding hills. Many rooms feature period details and traditional Scottish touches, while suites provide separate living areas and enhanced amenities for those seeking extra space and privacy.

Food & Drink

Dining at Gleneagles is a highlight in itself. Chef Andrew Fairlie's restaurant serves refined modern French cuisine in an intimate setting. The Strathearn Restaurant offers fine dining built around the finest Scottish ingredients, while Deseo brings contemporary Mediterranean flavours to the table. For more relaxed meals, the Birnam Brasserie serves classic dishes in a bright, informal space.

The hotel's elegant bar stocks over 100 single malt whiskies, perfect for a post-round dram, while The American Bar is a cracking shout for a post-round cocktail if you've still got the energy.

Leisure Facilities

The estate offers a wealth of outdoor pursuits including horse riding, shooting, fly-fishing, falconry, mountain biking, tennis, squash and off-road driving. Indoors at 'The Club', you'll find state-of-the-art fitness equipment, swimming pools, a spa, Turkish baths, a sauna and first-class health and beauty treatments. The combination of wellness facilities and award-winning dining makes Gleneagles a complete luxury destination, not just a golf resort.

Many thanks for organising our golf trip to Gleneagles. The weather conditions on the day were extremely mixed, resulting in us being given a voucher to play the course on another date. The facilities within the Clubhouse (The Dormy House) are first class, however we do feel their tariff for food and beverages are a bit on the high side.

Our suite in the hotel was simply fabulous, our dining experience at the Strathearn Restaurant was superb and overall we were made extremely welcome by the hotel. We would recommend Gleneagles to all age groups as a top quality sporting venue. We will go back and would have to give the overall experience a 10 out of 10 rating.

YGT handled our booking very efficiently and I would definitely recommend you guys to friends.

We have just arrived back home after a memorable time in Scotland culminating in the visit to Gleneagles.

Let’s do golf first. Heather played the Kings on the first afternoon with just a caddie but there was an enormous society and the round was slow so she stopped at the 14th  as we would have missed dinner. On day 2 she played the Queens with two other golfers and a very good caddie. She had a great round and thoroughly enjoyed it.

My fishing was superb both at Breco and then on the Gleneagles lake dry fly fishing for brownies; a great honour for me. The ghillies were very friendly and I was even allowed to take Archie to the lake.

Gleneagles hotel is an experience in itself; magnificent service in every department, two great restaurants with food that above all was flavoursome and enjoyable. The room in Braid was perfect, especially with the patio to let Archie out and then to walk him. We could go on and on about the quality of this hotel forever.

So we will sign off with wonderful memories of Gleneagles made possible by your service which was of the highest quality.

I would like to thank yourgolftravel.com very much for arranging our recent trip to Gleneagles for my husband’s 60th birthday. We had the most wonderful time and everything about the holiday was simply fantastic.

The hotel was excellent and the staff couldn't do enough for you. Thank you also for kindly arranging an upgraded room; it was beautiful. The food was also delicious and the golf was superb.

We hired bikes while we were there and the spa and leisure club were the best I have ever been to. We will definitely book through your company again....and probably go back to Gleneagles!

I would like to say a huge thank you to Your Golf Travel for helping to organise our golf trip to Gleneagles.

Everything was 1st class from the initial point of booking, to the hotel, golf courses, the 19th hole and even the weather! I would recommend Gleneagles and Your Golf Travel to anyone. 

The hotel was amazing and probably the best I’ve stayed in. Breakfast was brilliant and we had dinner in one of the restaurants at the hotel which was also very good. 

The members of staff at Gleneagles couldn’t do enough for us whilst we were there.  

Once again, many thanks to you and your team.

We are just back from a truly magnificent golf trip to Gleneagles. The hotel, staff and golf courses were all amazing. The experience was one we will truly remember for a long time to come so thanks to YGT for organising a memorable 10th wedding anniversary trip. 

We played the Queens Course which was fantastic. Unfortunately there was lots of rain so the PGA Centenary Course was pretty wet to play.

The clubhouse was beautiful with a fantastic atmosphere and decently priced fare.

Hotel prices were steep but considering the 5* rating, it was worth every penny - a real trip back to how hotel service used to be. 11/10 all day long.

What a fabulous trip to Gleneagles - probably the best hotel I have ever stayed in. I isn’t cheap but definitely a very, very special 5* luxury treat. The Scottish breakfast is a magnificent meal from a bye gone era - we only needed a bar snack in the new Dormy House at the end of the round before retiring to the Spa such was the quality of the breakfast.

The two long established courses – King's and Queen's – are really enjoyable with beautiful scenery, plenty of wildlife. Every hole is great fun and they aren’t overly long which adds to the appeal for the average golfer. The challenge simply comes from just clever design. Both courses make for a great warm up for the PGA Centenary Course which is a must for any golfer with a handicap of 18 or under.

I for one cannot wait to revisit and overall I’d have to give the break 10/10 and would be very happy to recommend YGT for their excellent service.
