Chip Off The Old Block

Gleneagles may be the kingly destination of golf but now there is a new kid in town trying to knock it off its throne, says Pete Simpson.

Home to the world-famous Gleneagles Hotel, Perthshire is experiencing the rise of a new name in luxury golf development to challenge the old guard of Scottish golf. Taking advantage of its breathtaking location adjacent to Gleneagles, gWest aims to position itself among the finest golfing resorts in the world. Alongside a luxury hotel, and the golf course created by renowned course designer David McLay Kidd, residential plots are also available to purchase.

Buyers have the opportunity to design their own bespoke multi-million-pound residences in the grounds, which have spectacular views of the Perthshire countryside and the Ochil Hills. Securing one of the plots, which average 1.25 acres, also allows first purchasers an exclusive price advantage on lifetime golf membership. The resort will also offer an ultra-luxury, suite-only hotel with concierge services, world-class dining, destination spa, and leisure and entertainment facilities.

It’s arguably a bold move to set up shop next to such an established and esteemed name, but gWest plans to succeed by taking on Gleneagles at its own game.
