King's Course at Gleneagles Country Club

Dallas golfers who have sampled them all claim that Gleneagles offers two of the toughest courses in the area. This private 36-hole club opened in the 1980s with two Robert von Hagge/Bruce Devlin layouts known as the King’s and Queen’s. Eldridge Miles, an old-school Dallas-area pro, once wrote to von Hagge that “I have played many of your courses and have always like your work; however, I believe the Gleneagles course represents some of the most creative, interesting, and challenging work that you have every produced.”

The King’s Course is considered the favorite among members. It’s much like the Queens, with its links-style fairways framed by mounds, but it has more trees and water.
