Everything is \u2018just so\u2019 here. Set in the rolling hills of Perthshire<\/a>, The Glorious Playground \u2013 as Gleneagles is known \u2013 has hosted both the Ryder and Solheim Cups. The illustrious King’s course has been, since its creation in 1919, one of the world’s most beautiful spots to play. Start the day with a sensational breakfast spread \u2013 the creamiest scrambled eggs, crispily delicious bacon \u2013 before setting off to one of the estate’s three championship courses. After a strenuous few rounds, head to the spa for a relaxing hot-stone massage, or enjoy the indoor pools, steam room and saunas, followed by a dinner of beef wellington and old-school flamb\u00e9ed classics in The Strathearn restaurant. gleneagles.com<\/p>\n
