The Ryder Cup will be held over the weekend of 26-28 September in 2014, it was announced earlier today. The event, which will be held in Scotland for the first time since 1973 when it was at Muirfield, will be played over the PGA Centenary Course at Gleneagles. Scotland’s First Minister, Alex Salmond, was “delighted to have seen […] the many exciting changes that are being made to improve this already outstanding golf course. As well as the hi-tech efforts to reduce water on the greens, the Ryder Cup teams can expect many of the changes – proposed by Jack Nicklaus – to provide a sterner test as they seek glory during the competition.”

We at PerryGolf are asked regularly by our clients to suggest hidden gem courses and courses that hark back to golf as it was played in the past as well as the new modern layouts. I have read with interest plans to restore Taymouth Castle near Gleneagles back to its original James Braid design. The course currently is ideal for a nice relaxing round in some stunning scenery so with the addition of the new improvements -including 2 holes along the banks of the River Tay – it promises to be a great layout and should be ready right on time for the Ryder Cup at Gleneagles in 2014.

Any developments at Gleneagles are viewed with interest, especially with them due to host the Ryder Cup on its return to Europe in 2014. From this article, it looks like they have found a solution (for greens anyway) of maintaining great course conditions in spite of difficult environmental factors. I wonder how long it will be before we see this technology in more widespread use.

When we heard in the office that the Gleneagles Hotel had added a very smart and trendy Nail Bar to the facilities, we were looking forward to trying it out on our next visit. So imagine my delight when an invitation arrived from an old friend to join her and some other friends for a girlie weekend at the hotel to celebrate her 50th birthday! The Nail Bar can be hired for such occasions and what a time we had choosing between the ‘Be Glamorous’ and ‘Be Gorgeous’ packages which include champagne. The Nail Bar team were great fun and very patient and helpful as we chose our colours, patterns, etc from the range of designs and finishes in Shellac and Minx ranges.

A question that we are often asked when putting together trips for our clients is ‘what spa facilities does the resort offer?’
Spa at Gleneagles
Gleneagles has one of the best spas in the UK, and to prove it they have recently been awarded two accolades by Zest Magazine.
The Spa uses ESPA products and this award-winning temple of relaxation is the perfect place to have a golfer’s massage or a facial treatment after a round of golf.
