Group booking note

Gleneagles Queen's and King's are bookable by non-residents; the PGA Centenary is trickier. Blairgowrie Rosemount is excellent value and actively group-friendly. Running all four courses without the Gleneagles round gives a superb parkland trip under £150/head in green fees.

Where to stay

Base yourself in Auchterarder

Auchterarder sits at the centre of this loop and has self-catering and guest houses within reach of all four courses — Gleneagles is on its doorstep, Crieff and Blairgowrie both around half an hour. The premium option is a night at the Gleneagles Hotel itself, which many groups do as the treat on their Queen's Course day. Central Perthshire drive times are short and the roads are good, so a single base works well; you're never more than 45 minutes from a tee.
