Machrie Golf Links, Strathclyde in Scotland

Originally laid out by Willie Campbell in 1891, the course has changed
little down the years. It is one of the few remaining traditional links
courses left in Scotland.
One of the more famous moments in the Machrie history was its own Open
Championship in 1901 which included the 'Great Triumvirate' of Harry Vardon,
John Henry Taylor and James Braid. It had the highest prize of any open
competition at that time of £100! Whilst prize money has changed since
then, the course remains very much the same with the sand dunes providing
natural hazards and blind shots that will challenge many golfers.
Running alongside Laggan Bay and looking out to the Atlantic, the scenery
is stunning and Machrie has been quoted as being one of the most beautiful
golf courses anywhere in the world. With eight local Islay malts to try
after a round, The Machrie is well worth a visit.
