Editor's Note: Course closed for business in 2022.

Gleneagles County Club is home to two 18-hole golf courses, the Red and White. Opened in 1924, both courses have traditional layouts that have withstood the test of time. The Red Course, also known as the Lakes, is the longer of the two. Water hazards come into play on several holes, including what is considered the club's best par 3. The Red's 16th is a 170-yard hole that plays directly into the wind to an elevated green that is protected in front by a pond. It's a tough green to hit but a relatively easy one to putt. Both Gleneagles golf courses appeal to a wide range of skill levels, which is one reason why the club is known as the "Home of the Shotgun Start," serving as host to hundreds of golf outings every year.

Great value

This course is in great shape. I feel it plays better when they let the ruff grow even though it slows play somewhat. It becomes a better golf challenge . The greens are what protect this course. Traps, as always, less than stellar and need work. I wish the tee boxes were more level. The staff are very friendly, the pace of play good on most days and I feel it’s a walking course built when all golfers walked. The greens fees are fairly priced and to me the course offers value. I’m a member of GMC and been golfing there for twenty years.

Pace of play was slow, but it was a beautiful afternoon on a holiday weekend. Otherwise, staff was friendly & the course was fun. Greens were in good shape.

Overpriced and poor condition

Course was not in good shape. Grass needed a fresh cut and the sand traps had no sand, essentially just hard dirt making it impossible to hit out of. MASSIVELY OVERPRICED at $65. I would avoid, many better options in the area

Poor conditions and extremely slow play. Single golfer behind us kept going back and playing other holes again. At the turn while we got a sandwich he jumped in front. Rude. Won't go back.
