“Plastic food”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 May 2012

Sit down - get comfy - have your drinks brought to you and then get asked to move as the window seat is reserved without a reserve badge! More

“What's happened to the greens?”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 May 2012

Machrihanish is a hauntingly wonderful place. Having played here in 2009 the opportunity to play again this week was one I had been looking forward to for months but I could not believe how battered the course had become. The winter has been savage with floods, hail storms and howling gales but I never expected the course to be in... More

“wow!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 April 2012

Where else can you drive your ball across the atlantic. This golf course is not easy to get to, but well worth the journey. It is a fantastic links course and the opening hole is described as the world's most spectacular. On anything but a very calm day it certainly sorts out the men from the boys. Decent clubhouse with... More

“Storm stung”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 March 2012

Machrihanish is an excellent and challenging dunes course, made more challenging this year by Winter greens on all holes, after a very wet and stormy few months. Standing water in bunkers on a links course, is extremely unusual and a mark of just how wet it has been. More

“Fabulous Experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

We played this course twice over two days. Both times with caddies. The experience was outstanding. It is a tremendous test of links golf . Beautiful views, unique holes and knowledgeable caddies made for a very memorable experience. More

“Old and Dunes”

Golfers who know-know.The Dunes is great-sometimes crazy but great.The long walks between tees are only because most play off the yellows.Go-you'll love it. More

“One of my favorite courses ever”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 December 2011

Our group of six played this course twice while in the area. The course is a classic links course, unspoiled by modern "improvements". We requested caddies and over the course of a couple of rounds, got to know a number of the club members who were caddying for us. The caddies were some of the nicest people and we ended... More

“Great Scottish links golf!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 November 2011

Just the best experience. There's not a lot for a non-golfing spouse to do in the immediate area, so I walked along with my husband. It was beautiful! More
