Overview

There has been a lot of work put into making the Ryder Cup accessible - from ramps and walkways, to signage and staff training.

Transport & Parking

Most spectators are coming via train. Gleneagles is the nearest station and if you require it there is accessible transport between the station and the event. Gleneagles Station has recently undergone refurbishment and is now more accessible. If coming by car, there is dedicated parking for Blue Badge holders - it is a fair distance away from the event so there are accessible buses to get you there. If you have specific mobility requirements contact the event organisers as there are limited spaces available in Car Park 2 which is much nearer.

Access

Ramps & walkways galore in the spectators village and for food & drink outlets and for hospitality structures. On the course wheelchair users can get around using the golf buggy paths... There are going to be accessible platforms for viewing the action but at the time of our visit these hadn't been put in yet.

Toilets

For an event. the organisers have done a great job with the accessible loos. The are located with the ladies and gents loos and have ramped access. They are well signed and are spacious.

Staff

All the staff that we encountered were very helpful. When the event starts there are going to be Access Buddies to help visitors with any accessible needs.

Anything else you wish to tell us?

We visited the site a few days before the event started so we saw most of the above but some things might have been tweaked before the tee off. There were additional things pointed out to us including the fact that there would be a dedicated doggy loo for assistance dogs etc.
