The Queen's Course has played host to many legends of the golfing fraternity including Johnny Miller, Greg Norman and Tom Watson. Meandering through the estates' many high ridges, the picturesque woodland setting offers true moorland characteristics.
Though excellent holes abound, the par 4, eighth named "Auld Fauld" or "Sheep Pen" is of particular note. Aptly named, as one can imagine a sheep pen nestling in the sheltered hollow that houses the green, an array of bunkers will punish a timid approach, while an overzealous stroke will carry down the sloping green away from the hole.
With the other facilities available in this hotel, it makes for perhaps the ultimate golfing outing in Scotland. The Hotel is majestic and other facilities include off road driving, an equestrian centre, falconry and shooting, just what is required for the complete Scottish getaway.
