Hickory golf comes to Scotland’s Gleneagles Hotel
Visitors to Scotland’s Gleneagles Hotel can now enjoy a round of golf as if it was 1924.
Until the end of July, hotel guests and visitors can take to the fairways with hickory clubs to recreate an early 20th-century golfing experience on Gleneagles’ PGA National Academy Course.
