Machrihanish Course

The outward nine holes follow the hills and hollows among the sand dunes bordering the Atlantic. Each hole requires accurate tee shots and carefully chosen irons to reach the expertly maintained putting surfaces. The inward nine holes are no less demanding as they stretch back home against the backdrop of the Kintyre hills. With the variable strength and direction of the wind, the course can provide a completely new challenge each time it is played.
