PGA Assistant Professional
Golf Ops Supervisor | Another Place - The Machrie | The Machrie Islay Golf
Wild coastlines, big skies and a close-knit island community
set the rhythm of daily life on Islay. The roll of waves, breeze-blown dune
grasses, and call of seabirds make up a rich island soundtrack. It’s a haven
for people who live and breathe the outdoors. Exhilarating and revitalising,
vibrant and relaxed - the wonder of the wilds here is limitless.
Set within this captivating landscape lies Another Place –
The Machrie. Originating from the Gaelic term ‘machair’, meaning ‘the linking
stretch of land that joins the grassy dunes with the shoreline’, The Machrie
offers elevated comforts and unforgettable experiences.
Discover Golf at The Machrie
On almost every hole, a well-placed tee shot offers a clear
view of the green and flag. Miss the ideal line, however, and the challenge
quickly increases, calling for care and creativity…
Set on idyllic links terrain, featuring unique dunelands
bordering on the magnificent Laggan Bay, our Championship Links Golf
Course offers four sets of tees, is suitable for all handicaps, and offers
generous fairways.
An original Willie Campbell design dating back to 1891 and
redesigned in 2018 by David J. Russell to modern championship standards, our
iconic course stretches over 7000 yards from the back tees and is designed to
be playable in all conditions.
The Machrie Islay offers plenty of variety and tests every
aspect of the golf game. It’s this balance of precision and nerve that keeps
our members and guests engaged, tested, and eager to return for more.
