The Kings is an excellent golf course, when you combine the variety of the holes, Braids sensational routing (very challenging parcel of land) with the truly epic setting, scenery and topography, the recently restored width along with fine turf you have a golf course that is for me, all world…
I happily rank it alongside any inland golf course in the world, it makes as much (if not more) out of the sum of its parts as any other great inland course.
I’ve had the pleasure of playing with first timers on a few occasions, they were blown away and could not understand how they had not found the course sooner, some had to be persuaded to head inland.
The Queens has so much charm, fun, challenge and quirk, whilst I’d not say it’s the number two inland course in Scotland, I would happily say that as a 36 hole venue, only Sunningdale can be compared in the UK, and there are not many globally that are a close match for a 36 hole day (the shorter Queens is a nice change of pace for a second eighteen).
