Kings Course Opened in 1919, the Kings Course is a masterpiece of classical golf course design which has been tested by the aristocracy of golf -- both professional and amateur. James Braid's plan was to test even the best player's shot-making skills all the way. Lee Trevino remarked when playing the course for the first time, If Heaven is as good as this, I sure hope they have some tee times left. This is the annual venue for the WPGA Championship of Europe and the Bell's Scottish Open.

There are great views of the spectacular countryside, the rugged Grampians, the distantly purple Ben Vorlich and the mountains above the Trossacks.
