Lying westwards beyond the River Tamar border with its nearest neighbour Devon, Cornwall is one of the more isolated parts of the United Kingdom but is one of the most popular with travellers and holiday-makers.

In 1990 The Nicklaus Signature Course hosted one of the major European Tour events when it staged the Benson & Hedges International Open.
Auchterarder (Scottish Gaelic: Uachdar Ardair) is a small town located north of the Ochil Hills in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, and home to the famous Gleneagles Hotel.

In the heart of Scotland, the country that gave the world golf, Nicklaus described the course as "the finest parcel of land in the world I have ever been given to work with."
