Gleneagles is famous for its’ world-class golf courses: the King’s Course, the Queen’s Course and the PGA Centenary Course.
The PGA Centenary Course will play host to the 2019 Solheim Championship, in addition to having hosted the 2014 Ryder Cup Matches. Even for a champion and acclaimed golf architect like Nicklaus, The PGA Centenary Course was a challenge. It had to be a truly great golf course, set as it is in the heart of Scotland, the country that gave the world golf. Thankfully Nicklaus described the course as “the finest parcel of land in the world I have ever been given to work with”. It had to be unique in its’ challenge, a golf course in the modern design ethos that at its’ fullest stretch tests the greatest players, while, in the immortal phrase of Bobby Jones, “offering problems a man may attempt according to his ability… never hopeless for the lesser player nor failing to concern and interest the expert.”
