Machrihanish Golf Club
Campbeltown, Scotland
BY GARY LISBON
Machrihanish was formed in 1876 with ten holes, then “re established” in 1879 when Old Tom Morris expanded it to eighteen including the famous first where your opening tee shot must carry a healthy patch of the Atlantic. Otherwise, Machrihanish is one of the most natural links there is. Its 6,462 yard par 70 that plays fast and firm through larger than normal Scottish dunes to greens some like punchbowls, some like plateaus. The fairways pitch and roll, the views are striking. The only less than loving reflection you'd ever hear about GOLF Magazine's world #93 is its location on the Mull of Kintyre. The choices used to a 3 hour road trip (from heaven, the scenery is spectacular the entire way) or a 40 minute flight. Now there's a third and it's the ticket. The Kintyre Express is a speed boat ferry that crosses the Firth of Clyde with 12 passengers in little more than an hour. Local accommodation is excellent but the supply is modest so arrangements should be made comfortably in advance.
