Liked the ryder cup course, but has had some changes since.

Loved the Kings, havent played the Queens yet.

Went for a mooch in the hotel, has little shops in an arcade, very exclusive.

PGA gets a lot of bad press but I really enjoyed it. My thoughts are it gets harshly criticized and was a lot better than I was lead to believe so go in open minded. The back 9 isn't quite as good as the front 9 but overall very good plus it has a "sub-air" system on the greens which make them very playable all year round.

I played there a little before the Ryder Cup, in fact I met Paul McGinley on the 1st tee. I enjoyed the PGA even though they were still making some changes to the course. I didn't play the Queens but the Kings was fabulous. My family paid for a round with one of the Club pro's to ensure I had a decent game and he was most helpful in acting as a caddy going round, not carrying my gear, but giving me the right lines and often advising on the right club. This was good as the Kings had quite a few blind shots and I'd have had no idea on how to play some holes, anyway it worked as I beat the pro 2 and 1 ! The Kings was absolutely fabulous.

It's a superb set up and all 3 course are of the highest standard, I bit the bullet and joined last month and wish I had done it years ago.

Mind if I ask how much membership costs?

I meant to say that the hotel is fabulous!

Not outrageous for what they provide. It would be out of everyone's reach if it were down here in the South East 😀

One tip. My mate's son bought his mam & dad dinner, bed & breakfast at the hotel. At the end of dinner the waiter asked if he'd like a brandy. "Yes please" he said. When they checked out he discovered that his brandy had cost £40.

I'm jealous of both of you, once stayed in the estate(in a cottage/house). The hotel, and courses looked amazing, when we walk around the public footpaths in the evening. Even saw my 1st red squirrels in the wild there. Just a wonderful setting, shame about the 'kind of busy' main road that runs next/in between the course or it would be perfect.

Gleneagles, is my top 4 courses to play, hoping to do it end of August when in Scotland for other golf or early next year and been looking at the deals recently and timings.

Are you doing it on the £201.80 4 ball deal or on a different deal ?
