Some things come easy and others you have to work for. In the end, the things you have to work for are more rewarding. Machrihanish you have to work for. There simply is no fast or easy way to get there. But if you put in the effort, you’ll be rewarded. Rewarded with the best opening tee shot in golf. Rewarded with an untouched links course as pure as they come. It’s just what a golf course should be. For many of the few who make it out here, “Machrihanish” is a special word and a place they strike to return to.
