Description

PGA Centenary at Gleneagles was the Resort's last open course and was designed by Jack Nicklaus who said for this design he was given some of the best land to create a course on. It has the typical characteristics of a Nicklaus design: the par 3s are difficult, the par 5s varied with chances to reach and par 4s from "reachable" with the drive to some in which it is difficult to reach in 2. Greens with a lot of movement and very good speed.

Signature Hole

The 9th hole on the PGA Centenary is probably the signature hole, a classic risk and reward par-5 that has an elevated tee which offers an inviting drive between two high hillocks and a trio of clever bunkers. The green is only reachable in two for the longest of hitters but laying-up itself also poses a test, offering golfers two options – aim short of the elongated greenside pond leaving a longer third or hit into a generous area of fairway left whilst making sure another trio of bunkers are avoided.

Wegolf Insider Tip

Going to Scotland is going to play all the links that one can. Gleneagles is not Scotland's 'trademark', but it offers a golf and global experience worth going to. For example, on the day you travel from Turnberry to St Andrews you can go through Gleneagles and play one of the 3 courses, although "Ryder's course" is the one that attracts the most attention.
