Visited the course on the 20 June and booked a tee time for late afternoon unfortunately I couldn’t hire a cart as they had to be returned for no later than 6pm . Thought the course layout was fantastic and the staff member working in the pro shop was very friendly . Personally I thought the greens were in a shocking state for a golf course that is ranked in the top 100 in the uk with green fees to match . I think that I should of be told about the poor condition of the greens before I parted with the green fees as I rated them the worst I have played this year and I have played on a lot of courses around Scotland


to be in the top 100 in the uk

Tough day

Strong wind but warm sunshine. Course was playing long and the greens were a bit bumpy. Great course.

Fabulous course in great surroundings

A fast, testing layout, especially in the wind. Tight fairways & slick greens. Stay on the fairway to avoid disappointment!

Bucket list stuff

It's a pain to get to but Machrihanish Golf Club, along with Machrihanish Dunes around the corner, are well worth the trip. True bucket list courses.

Fantastic golfing challenge on a very natural and fair golf course. Hard and fast running, always presents options for how to play shots - along the ground or in the air. True but complex and hard to read greens, Beautiful coastal location completes a great course.

What a challenge this course was. Really enjoyed the round and the true test of our ability was when the wind really started blowing at the turn. The Back 9 at times was unplayable with the strong gusts and I struggled with a 49. Got given some vouchers for half price to come back within the next 12 months so will definitely makethe effort. If this course was more accessible it would b holding some big competitions.

What a great initiation to Links Golf. The awesome first tee and immaculate holes to finish, being buffetted by the wind on the kintyre coast.

Great links golf, classic first hole and an eerie moonscape landscape throughout. Really nice design and some tough holes. Well worth getting off the beaten track.
