[VIDEO] The Kings Course, Gleneagles bit.ly/KingsCourseVIDEO The great James Braid won The Open Championship 5 times before he designed the Kings Course at Gleneagles which opened in 1919. Of the more than 200 Golf Courses he would go on to design, the Kings is considered to be Braids parkland masterpiece. Youll find links-style pot bunkers, heather and gorse combined with inland characteristics like trees and forests, a generally slower surface; plus numerous elevation changes several of them considerable. The first is a good example. Take one or two clubs extra (depending on the wind) to reach Dun Whinnys elevated green whose front is guarded by a bunker twenty feet below the surface! Gleneagles is also home to the Queens Course and the PGA Centenary Course where the 2014 Ryder Cup will be decided. A visit to the estate is very often combined with golf and sightseeing in St Andrews, or it can serve nicely as the first part of a trip that includes the Highlands.
