Golf for Argyll

A new links course, desined by David McLay Kidd is to open in May 2009 at Machrihanish. Machrihanish Dunes Golf Club is an 18-hole links course beside the Machrihanish Golf Club. The two courses, a plush clubhouse for the new course (due 2010) and some luxury accommodation will put together a fantastic golfing complex for Argyll - at the north west head of the Mull of Kintyre near Campbeltown.

The new course will be 7,300 yards long and will make full use of its ocean-side position with six greens and five tees shore-side. Sounds great - and it’ll be the first course to be built on Scotland’s west coast for over a hundred years. What an attraction for golfers and for golf tourism. And it’s in Argyll. Hats in the air.
