The PGA Centenary Course

Gleneagles

Hole 6, Par 3

The PGA Centenary Course, home of the Johnnie Walker Championship is one of Jack Nicklaus' modern classics.

The great man, holder of the record for major wins with 18 and one of modern golf's most highly acclaimed golf architects, has described the land the PGA Centenary Championship course is built on as "The finest parcel of land in the world I have ever been given to work with".

Because of his great feelings for the land, Nicklaus decided the course 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...but never hopeless for the lesser player nor failing to concern and interest the expert."

To make this possible, all the tee boxes on the course in this picturesque corner of Perthshire in Scotland are graded in five stages including a challenging 7,320 yards from the championship blue markers down to 5,072 yards from the red so as to give golfers of every ability and handicap a challenge to enjoy.

A feature of the Course is its plethora of stunning views offered by the spectacular countryside in which Gleneagles is set.
