Andrews Golf Tours Proudly Present - Machrihanish Dunes. Machrihanish
Dunes can be incorporated into
your Scotland Golf Vacation.
In Scotland, true links golf courses are not created,
they are born of the land. More than 130 years ago "Old
Tom" Morris recognised the potential for great golf here
in this rugged, romantic corner of Scotland when he
said, "The Almichty maun hae had gowf in his eye when he
made this place."
When Machrihanish Dunes Golf Club opens in May 2009, it
will be the first golf course to be have been built on a
Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSi) since the
days of "Old Tom" himself. It will also be the first
18-hole links golf course to be built on the west coast
of Scotland in 100 years. Set hard against the shores of
the Atlantic Ocean, Machrihanish Dunes shares
breathtaking views with the adjacent Machrihanish Golf
Club links laid out by "Old Tom" Morris in 1879, one of
Scotland's classic and most revered links. Measuring
7,300 yards, Machrihanish Dunes will also feature six
greens and five tees at the ocean's edge.
Machrihanish Dunes promises to be the world's next great
golf experience. One that beckons those with a deep
passion and true respect for the roots of the game. One
that is naturally born of the land and yet, has been
molded to extract its most superb attributes. One that
instantly takes your breath away with its majestic
beauty; along with its prolific challenges. One that
offers a vast and wondrous links land that is centuries
old, to be enjoyed for centuries to come.
Machrihanish Dunes. The way golf began and where the
ancient traditions of the game continue.
