Gleneagles has unveiled two commemorative packages available during May to coincide with The King's and The Queen's courses centenary celebrations.
To celebrate all the great golfing memories and moments that have made Gleneagles one of the world's must-visit resorts, golfers will pay a special birthday rate of £100 per person between 1-15 May 2019.
Steeped in history, both 18-hole championship layouts remain beacons for golfing aficionados, corporate guests and world-renowned celebrities. "It's incredible to contemplate all the shots that have been hit down those iconic fairways since James Braid first created them using nothing more than manual labour and horse and cart," commented Gary Silcock, Director of Golf at Gleneagles.
The King's hosted a famous match between the 'Big Three' of Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Gary Player in 1966, as well as the popular Bell's Scottish Open on the European Tour from 1987-1994, the largest spectator event after The Open at the time.
The Queen's has also hosted some of the biggest names from entertainment and sport, including Sean Connery and Alan Shepard, the only man to hit a golf shot on the moon!
In recent times, and under new ownership, both courses have benefitted from extensive projects that have seen them re-aligned to Braid's original design vision with wider fairways, bringing strategically-placed bunkers back in play, and the re-introduction of Scottish heather in key areas.
Regal Rounds residential package:
The 'Regal Rounds' overnight residential package will be available throughout May 2019. Based on two people sharing either a twin or double Classic Room, guests can enjoy two rounds of golf, indulge in a hearty Gleneagles breakfast and make use of The Health Club during their stay, all for £680.
The package lets you play all three championship golf courses, including the Jack Nicklaus-designed PGA Centenary, host venue of the Solheim Cup in September.
Gary Silcock, Director of Golf at Gleneagles, said: "Our golfing heritage is in the spotlight this year, with 1st May 2019 marking 100 years to the day when our King's and Queen's courses first opened."
"As we look ahead to the next 100 years of golf at Gleneagles, we're delighted to announce these special offers, which will give many more golfers the opportunity to experience our world-class courses, and the chance to join our celebrations as we start the next chapter of the Gleneagles golfing story."
