With regards to Remedy. I know that they have since the end of august ripped up and are in the process of relaying all 18 greens with an opening hopefully scheduled for March/April next year. Getting back to the PGA Centenary, I agree that it was presented really well for the RC but it just seemed to look not quite right in that setting. I also believe and I may be wrong that DMK was looking at another parcel of land at Gleneagles to build a new 18 on.

Sam - that's gWest, just over the hill. It's finished, and has been for several years, but hasn't opened.

Many thanks for that Adam. Do you have any ideas on opening times/dates?

The Centenary Course is a big missed opportunity that has been missed by two big names namely Nicklaus and Kidd. There was the chance to create the best inland course built since the war but they ended up with mediocre that is dumbed down with a style that clashes really badly with its setting. I suspect that the RC has condemned to having no chance of being saved for quite a long time.

Mark, G-West is more Kings Course than anything else. It is super private and will have top, top end houses around it. I saw it back in 2011 (I think) when it was playable but still bedding in.
