British Isles Golf Course

Hole 5 – Gleneagles (King's)

In my opinion this is the most spectacular par 3 you will find anywhere in the world. The backdrop to the 5th hole, 'Het Girdle', is stunning, and the hole itself is reminiscent of the 'Postage Stamp' at Royal Troon, if considerably longer. A tee shot in the region of 180 yards travels across a steep valley to a table top green surrounded by bunkers and faced by steep banks. Many good golfers walk off this hole with 5's, 6's and worse on their scorecard, such is the penalty for missing the green.
