the trip to its remote location on the Isle of Islay. Reminiscent of its neighbor Machrihanish, the course provides stunning
views and a real taste of links golf.

There may be no cooler place for golf than Machrihanish. First of all, to get there you
need a keen sense of adventure. The club is located way out on the Mull of Kintyre, about 90 miles west of Glasgow airport.
