A Scottish country estate and retreat like no other, Gleneagles is a home-from-home golfing paradise in five-star luxury surroundings…
Golf at Gleneagles (opens in new tab) remains one of the finest experiences in the UK, steeped in sporting history and scene to some of the greatest Ryder and Solheim Cup moments ever.
