The Machrie Hotel & Golf Links

The Machrie Hotel & Golf Links occupies a remote setting on the Isle of Islay in Argyll and Bute. The 18-hole links course plays to par 72 across undulating terrain characteristic of Scotland's windswept coastal courses. Being located on one of the Inner Hebrides requires significant travel commitment, which has traditionally kept the course less crowded than mainland venues.

The links layout rewards shot-making precision and course management; wind and natural grassing are dominant features. The hotel operation means accommodation and golf can be combined, making it accessible for those willing to commit to a longer visit. Few courses in Scotland offer this degree of isolation and the associated tranquillity that comes with island golf.
