Nothing left to be desired: Three 18-hole courses and a short 9-hole course await guests eager to tee off. The PGA Centenary Course is the venue for the Ryder Cup in 2014. The holes wind their way around the nearly century-old resort located north of Glasgow and Edinburgh, and the resort’s restaurant has garnered gourmet awards for years. With luxurious rooms and well pruned gardens set in a romantic hilly landscape, this resort captures the essence of Scotland. Guests interested in more than golf and dining can enjoy horseback riding, fly fishing, skeet shooting, and numerous other activities typically enjoyed by the landed gentry. Guests can even try their hands at falconry; those brave enough might experience an eagle perched on their leather-clad forearm. And if you feel that your golf game needs some tweaking, look no further than the prestigious PGA National Golf Academy, which has been visited by tour pros from around the world.
