Gleneagles sits in the majestic Perthshire countryside. It’s a name synonymous with luxury and class. The five-star hotel is at the heart of an estate that hosts three championship golf courses, the Kings, the Queens, and the Centenary (perhaps better known as the Ryder Cup course)
The Gleneagles resort is just an hour from either Edinburgh or Glasgow which makes it convenient to get to from most European or British destinations if using an airplane. From either airport its a relatively straight-forward transfer to Gleneagles, and that’s it! Yep … that’s your transport more or less over with. All you need to do now is settle back and enjoy
A big part of the attraction of corporate golf at Gleneagles is the hotel itself. From bar snacks and brasserie classics to family fare and fine dining, Gleneagles is a culinary destination to savour and hosts Scotland’s top Michelin stared restaurant. The complex also offers Scotland’s finest health fitness and spa treatments, as well as a portfolio of outdoor pursuits ranging from shooting, off-roading, archery, trail walking and cycling, tennis, trout fishing and horse riding.. You don’t have to be a committed golfer to enjoy the pleasures of Gleneagles
You could also take the opportunity to explore the red-meat of Scottish history and venture a little bit beyond by combining Gleneagles with Stirling. Famed for its castle, the seat of the once mighty Stewart dynasty, the historic city of Stirling is just 30 minutes away, and if that weren’t enough you also has two notable battlefields to discover. Bannockburn (1314) is in its southern suburbs, and Stirling Bridge (1296) better known today as ‘Braveheart’, to its north where you’ll find ‘the Wallace Monument’. One of the best ways of getting around Stirling is actually to cycle, but we’ll look at that later

Ryder Cup Course
Course architect, Jack Nicklaus, described the course as “The finest parcel of land in the world I have ever been given to work with” when he set about designing Gleneagles’s third course. It’s the longest inland course in Scotland. The general advice is to overhit, given that most of the trouble lies in front. This is often easier said than done however. Fittingly, the course begins by playing southeast towards the glen sweeping up the Ochil Hills to the summit of the pass below Ben Shee which joins it to Glendevon. A feature is the feast of views of the spectacular countryside in which Gleneagles is set.

Queens Course
Threading through high ridges on the north and west sides of the estate, the Queen’s course is the most aesthetic of the Gleneagles trinity. It presents you with lovely woodland settings, lochans and ditches as water hazards, as well as many moorland characteristics. At 3,192 yards long, the challenge of the first nine can be deceptive, with even some of the best players finding it a test to make par into a fresh south westerly breeze.

Kings Course
The aristocratic King’s Course is a masterpiece of golf course design, which has caught the imagination of both professional and amateur alike. Lee Trevino remarked whilst standing on the first, “that if this is heaven I sure hope they have some tee times available”. Selecting the right club for each approach shot is the secret on the King’s. It is certainly one of the most beautiful and exhilarating places to play golf in the world, with the springy moorland turf underfoot, the sweeping views from the tees all around, the rock-faced mountains to the north, the green hills to the south, and the peaks of the Trossachs and Ben Vorlich on the western horizon.

Stirling
Although any non-golfers will find plenty to do within the Gleneagles resort itself, be it indoor and health, leisure and fitness, or outdoor country sports activities, the nearby historic city of Stirling is a good alternative. The city is overlooked by the castle, once the home of the mighty Stuart dynasty, whereas 2 miles to the south is the battlefield of Bannockburn (Robert the Bruce -1314) and 2 miles to the north the Wallace Monument (Braveheart – 1296)

Accommodation
Set in the splendid countryside of Perthshire, the five star Gleneagles estate and hotel has long been recognised as a benchmark in Scottish luxury. It’s one of those places that really doesn’t need to be sold, the very mention of its name is enough. In the past Gleneagles has hosted G7 conferences, and of course the Ryder Cup in 2014. As you would expect for a hotel of this renown it has an impressive array of restaurants, bars, and bistros and is home to Scotland’s highest Michelin starred food offer
Gleneagles is about 45 mins north west of Edinburgh or 45 mins north east of Glasgow. It is likely that you'll arrive at either of these two cities in which case the most sensible way completing the journey would be to transfer by road
