Gleneagles Country Club - King's Course

Review and Rating of Gleneagles Kings Course

Gleneagles Country Club is home to 36 fantastic holes of golf with conditions and greens that are some of the best in Dallas. The Kings course seems to be the easier of the two courses and the Queens course is more scenic and offers a wider variety of unique and fun holes. You can read our review of Queens Course to learn more about it.

Unfortunately we got rained out after playing 5 holes on the Kings Course but here is what we thought about the first five holes, you'll find:

• wide forgiving fairways
• water on most holes that's pretty easy to avoid
• lots of fairway and green-side bunkers filled with thick white sand
• excellent conditions
• some fun holes
• contoured rolling fairways with berms plus sand and grass bunkers

The bent grass greens are ample size, relatively flat with subtle breaks and most are well protected. When we played they were a little fast (normally run a 10), in very good condition, true, and held well – putting shouldn't be a major challenge on this 18 based on what we saw. Fairways were in perfect condition and wide and forgiving with a playable rough. On the first five holes we played, there was water on 4 of them and 27 bunkers that you need to avoid.

The first five holes are pretty traditional, fairly flat, and open as they play beside some very nice homes lining both sides of the fairway – you can score well here if you can keep the ball in play.

We hope to get back and play and review the rest of the holes in the very near future, so come back later.
