The Machrie Golf Links – Islay

An atmosphere and aura of its own

Located on the Isle of Islay, golf has been played at ‘The Machrie’ since 1891 – a historic and traditional links course set in the most amazing of vistas, the course was redesigned in 2018 and is now regarded as one of the few ‘genuine’ links courses in Scotland.

The course offers four sets of tees suitable for all handicaps and offers generous fairways. Inspired run offs, contoured greens and revetted bunkers provide an array of shot selection around the greens.

The course is famous – perhaps infamous – for the number of ‘blind’ shots incorporated into the design – as such the Machrie needs ‘knowing’!  Creativity, shot-making, imagination and the feel for distance are essential when playing the Machrie. The Machrie is a genuine links with an atmosphere and aura all of its own.
