thats a good point...
Blairgowrie has the best 9 hole i've ever played.... better than the two main courses IMO
Utter tripe. Rosemount is sensational.

Drive to Dundee and play Downfield a decent option to be fair plus plenty places to stay overnight

Heading to Dornoch in April, playing Tain, Golspie and Castle Stuart. Looking at options on the way up for a 18-hole stop. Blairgowrie, Kingussie, Nairn all possibilities. Will book nearer time depending on weather over next 2 months

Thanks for all the suggestions chaps, think I'll see if I can give Gleneagles a call for twilight, failing that, try Auchterarder or St Fillan's as a backup. Not sure which way I'm gonna head up, especially as the locals can't even agree on times and distance but will get there somehow

i i don't think we would disagree on the route just how long it takes to get to Blairgowrie from ... anywhereThanks for all the suggestions chaps, think I'll see if I can give Gleneagles a call for twilight, failing that, try Auchterarder or St Fillan's as a backup.

quickest is M6/M74/M80/A9
you could take the A82 the scenic route via Fort William
or Dundee, Aberdeenshire then though Breamar and the Cairngorms both would be slow compared to the direct

Have been looking at Gleneagles as the primary choice, can get a twighlight booking at £90 each - same fee for all courses. It's more than I was planning to spend, but since we don't pass that way often, might spring for it. On the day we travel up, they have a shotgun start on the PGA Centenary and can't take any reservations for it, leaving the Kings or Queens as our options. Or I could change it round and look to play on the way back. This prompts two questions:
1. Would you wait for the Centenary to be available, or would you play one of the others?
2. If you are going to play one of the others, which one would it be, King's or Queen's?

I would always choose the Kings or Queens over the Centenary. Of those two, I think the Kings is the tougher and the Queens is prettier, but very little to choose between them.
Ive never played the PGA, but have the others, i think the Kings gets all the attention and plaudits, but i enjoyed the Queens more as its much shorter, though the first few par 4 are pretty long as i remember. the kings was quite long.. with little run.
for me the queens

Kings and Queens every day. Not that I think the PGA is a bad course it's just not in the Gleneagles style.
I love the Kings and the Queens is also a great fun course, slightly shorter but still great fun. To be honest you won't be disappointed with either choice.
