Gleneagles is a golfer’s paradise offering three world famous golf courses, a 9 hole executive course and outstanding practice facilities. The PGA Centenary Course, designed by Jack Nicklaus, currently hosts the Johnnie Walker Championship and is the venue for the 2014 Ryder Cup matches.

Gleneagles' skilled ghillies will share their unrivalled knowledge with novice and experienced anglers who can enjoy their sport on three inland lochs on the Gleneagles estate stocked with brown and rainbow trout.
A total of 12 target disciplines — on shooting ranges for sporting clays, skeet shooting and more - provide stimulating sporting challenges. Most spectacular is King's Pheasant from a 30.48 metre (100 ft) tower. More than 60% of guests are first-time clays shooters and, on average, 25% are ladies (who, incidentally, are usually much better first-time shots!) As well as the sporting clay targets (skeet shooting), air rifle shooting and target archery are hugely popular attractions. Protective clothing, transport and all sporting clays equipment, including guns, are included in the cost of shooting at the school.
