PGA Centenary Course A Jack Nicklaus-designed masterpiece and host of the 2014 Ryder Cup and 2019 Solheim Cup. This modern championship layout offers wide fairways, strategic bunkering, and a true test for golfers of all abilities.

King’s Course Designed by James Braid and opened in 1919, this classic layout is widely regarded as one of the finest inland courses in the UK. It combines heathland and moorland characteristics with stunning views and a traditional design that rewards creativity and shot-making. This course is ranked no.18 on Scotland's top 100 golf courses and is a former Scottish Open host on the European Tour.

PGA National Academy Course: A nine-hole par-3 course ideal for beginners, families, or those looking to sharpen their short game in a relaxed setting.
