Description
The digital edition of all books may be viewed on our website before purchase. Gleneagles, located in the County of Perth, Scotland, is the home to the Gleneagles Golf Course, which was opened in 1919, and is the subject of R.J. Maclennan's writing. The book begins with a history of the creation of the golf course, from the builder's original idea through to the physical construction. Maclennan also provides the reader with an overview of the area, and describes the train journey one would have taken to arrive at the course. From there the book begins a hole-by-hole dissection of Gleneagles, which actually features two distinct 18-hole courses appropriately named the King's Course and the Queen's Course. The defining characteristics of each hole are detailed, including information on the various hazards and the best strategy for playing the hole. The book concludes with a section on the club's local golf professional, as well as a lengthy section of advertisements.
Golf at Gleneagles is a slice of history that will appeal to golf enthusiasts. Maclennan provides a detailed look at both the history and defining characteristics of this course, one that is still popular in present day.
Golf at Gleneagles is a worthwhile read for fans of the sport, particularly those who have had or will have an opportunity to play the course.
