The Queen’s Course is the most intimate and enchanting of Gleneagles’ three championship layouts. Designed by James Braid in 1919, it winds through rolling glades, heather-lined fairways, and towering pines, offering spectacular views of the surrounding Perthshire countryside. It’s shorter than the King’s or PGA Centenary, but don’t mistake that for easier. Narrow fairways, small undulating greens, and tricky elevation changes demand accuracy and intelligent shot selection. Every hole feels like its own world – peaceful, beautifully framed, and full of character. The 13th is a standout par-3 over water, and the closing holes offer a fun, risk-reward finish. The Queen’s is less about brute strength and more about shaping the ball, managing terrain, and playing with imagination. It’s the perfect companion to the King’s – and often preferred by those seeking a quieter, more reflective round. Conditions are pristine, the routing is delightful, and the walk is one of the most enjoyable in Scottish golf.
