In their Words…….
The 18 hole “Championship Course” is set in the wonderful Machrihanish Dunes by the small village of Machrihanish. It’s a joy to play and most of the time very quiet, allowing the visitor to relish the ups and downs of the fairways and the tussle with undulating greens.
The arresting views across to the islands of Islay, Jura and Gigha provide a delightful backdrop on an idyllic summer’s day with the firm Machrihanish turf underfoot, the majesty of the dunes, and wheeling seabirds providing the musical sound track. To provide a varied test for the competent golfer, the layout is not just a predictable nine out, and nine back.
The classic links holes, apart from the 1st, are the 5th, another par four with its fairway like an elephant’s graveyard, the 10th, a clever dogleg par five and the 15th, a “one shotter” with real difficulty if the elusive green is missed from the tee.
The 9 hole “Pans Course” nestles between the “Championship Course” and the neighbouring dairy fields. If anything it is slightly quieter that the 18 hole course and as well as hosting numerous lady’s competitions, is often favoured by members for a leisurely 9 holes. Some locals say that the smaller greens and shorter fairways provide an equal but different test of their golfing skills.
The Clubhouse Panoramic Restaurant & Bar, located just before the Ugadale Hotel, is the perfect place to relax after a memorable “round” and soak up the atmosphere of our world famous historic club, or if you’re visiting with a group why not reserve our Captain’s Private Dining Room for a celebratory meal.
