GLENEAGLES KING'S COURSE

The King's Course at the Gleneagles Hotel is one of the best-known courses in Britain, largely because of the power of television. More tournaments and other golfing promotions have been televised from the King's than from any other course--with good reason. It is one of the most beautiful inland courses in the world.

The King's is laid out on a wooded moorland plateau in Perthshire. The turf is crisp, the fairways wide and smooth, the hazards in the main clearly defined and the course is immaculately groomed. There are banks of golden gorse and purple heather, stands of tall pines, and the views in all directions are superb - the Ochil Hills to the east and south, with the valley of Glendevon reaching through to Fife; to the north lie the Grampians, to the west the Trossachs.

With a formidable array of challenges, including the 161 yard 5th hole, the "Hot Girdle", and the relentless 13th hole, this is the longest of the Gleneagles Hotel courses.
