The PGA Centenary
Course, designed by Jack Nicklaus, is a modern classic. Even
for a champion and acclaimed golf architect like Nicklaus,
The PGA Centenary Course was a challenge.
It
had to be a great course and, set as it is in the heart of
Scotland, the country which gave the world golf, Nicklaus
describes the course as "The finest parcel of land in the
world I have ever been given to work with". From the back
tees, the PGA Centenary Course measures 7,088 yards, the longest
inland course in Scotland. However, the tees are graded at
each hole in five stages, including a challenging 6,559 yards
from the white markers down to 5,072 from the red. Fittingly,
the PGA Centenary Course begins by playing southeast towards
the famed glen of the eagles sweeping up the Ochil Hills to
the summit of the pass below Ben Shee which joins it to Glendevon.
The
PGA Course will be the venue for the 2014 Ryder Cup.
