St
Andrews Golf Tours Proudly Present - Gleneagles PGA.
Gleneagles PGA can be incorporated into
your Scotland Golf Vacation.
Host venue for the 2014 Ryder
Cup Matches.
The PGA Centenary Course, created by Jack
Nicklaus, is a modern classic.
Even for a champion and acclaimed golf architect like
Nicklaus, The PGA Centenary Course was a challenge. It
had to be a great course and, set as it is in the heart
of Scotland, the country that gave the world golf,
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
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."
A feature of the PGA Centenary Course is
the feast of views of the spectacular countryside in
which Gleneagles is set. Putting on the two-tier second
green, you are distracted by the lush panorama of the
rich Perthshire straths. As you move westwards over the
next few holes, the rugged Grampians come into view on
the right, then distantly purple ahead, Ben Vorlich and
the mountains above the Trossachs.
