In the appreciation of Glencagles by golfers of standing there is singular unanimity in the opinion that excellent as the King's Course is the Queen's Course is in no way interior. The only variation of opinion it is really cheerful controversy- is as to which may ultimately prove the more popular. The Queen's Course is shorter than the King's Course. Its general proportions are also less, but in their compa ratively miniature scale they present a variety of interest and a daintiness of appeal that charms all golfers. For the present the Queen's Course is limited to nine holes and a total length of about 2,505 yards; fully 500 yards shorter than either halt of the King's Course. An eighteen hole course could have been laid out - there is ample room but the desirability of having something in reserve was kept in view . The policy permits of future issues being properly studied and fresh suggestions carefully examined. Some say the Queen's Course should be kept a nine hole course; others suggest that it should be made a dainty eighteen hole course. As it is it is admirable; but in no sense can it be called a relief course - a designation that almost invariably suggests inferiority. Its attractiveness makes it wonderful beyond question. Its difficulties make it fascinating to the very best of players. All find it a rare test for their mettle. In certain respects it differs from the King's Course. The "rough" is somewhat sterner stuff and some of the hazards are of water, so that the lie of the land has to be more carefully judged than is sometimes necessary on the King's Course. That, however, is an advantage because it gives the sporting character which is so alluring but which is not always found on a nine hole course. To indicate other characteristics might perhaps spoil the pleasing surprise that awaits golfers in the discovery that at Gleneagles there are two courses of supreme quality. A good arrangement, it you are bent on enjoying a tine clay's golf, is to play over both courses. Such a day makes demands on a skill more varied than has perhaps to he exercised on any other course in the kingdom. The constant and pleasurable change when taken into account, with the sense of quality that adds piquancy to play, makes it charming at all times, but doubly so when, as in the present instance, you have Braid to advise you and to help towards full realisation of anticipatory hopes. It you desire to make the very most of your game you will do well to study the score card. Here is an exact reproduction of it: -
