Last checked

Can we play it?

Yes. Gleneagles is a resort, open to golfers of all abilities all year, and it doesn't ask for a handicap certificate. Non-residents pay a slightly higher visitor rate than hotel guests and must prepay. Add it to your trip and Scotland Golf Tours requests the tee time for you.

  • Access

    Visitors and hotel guests every day, year round, subject to availability and maintenance closures. The same per-round fee covers the King's, Queen's and PGA Centenary courses.

  • The catch

    Price and closures. July 2027 is £500 a round for visitors, and the King's is shut for maintenance through December 2026 and 1–10 January 2027, plus single days most months.

  • Our tip

    Check the King's closure calendar before fixing a date, and if the King's is shut on your day, the Queen's or PGA Centenary is the same price.
