Perthshire
Overview
Scotland's inland resort heartland, anchored by Gleneagles and its Ryder Cup-winning PGA Centenary Course.

Gleneagles is Scotland's best-known inland golf resort, and the PGA Centenary Course — host of the 2014 Ryder Cup and the 2019 Solheim Cup — is its showpiece. The wider resort offers a full self-contained golf trip, with the King's and Queen's Courses also on site, in rolling Perthshire countryside quite different from Scotland's coastal links.

Where to stay
Gleneagles Resort
The Gleneagles Hotel itself is the obvious choice for a golf-focused stay, putting all three resort courses within walking distance and giving the trip a genuine country-house-resort feel. It suits golfers who want the round, the dining, and the accommodation all handled in one place, roughly an hour from Edinburgh Airport.
- Golf access
- On-site accommodation at the resort itself, with the PGA Centenary, King's and Queen's Courses all a short walk from the hotel.
- Restaurants & evenings
- The resort has multiple dining options on site, from casual to fine dining.
- Families
- The resort's spa, falconry, off-road driving, and country pursuits give non-golfing companions plenty to do without leaving the grounds.
