The natural beauty of the Queen's Course has inspired some of the world's most experienced players.

Threading through high ridges on the north and west sides of the estate, the Queen's boasts a lovely woodland setting, lochans and ditches as water hazards, as well as many moorland characteristics.

At 3,050 yards long, the challenge of the first nine can be deceptive, with even some of the best players finding it a test to make Par into a fresh south-westerly breeze. Not as testing as the King's or Centenary, but rewarding in so many other ways.
