About The Machrie Links

Set against the untamed beauty of Scotland’s west coast, The Machrie Links is one of the British Isles’ most captivating championship links experiences. Originally designed by Willie Campbell in 1891 and extensively reimagined by David J. Russell in 2018, the course stretches through dramatic dunes beside Laggan Bay on the Isle of Islay. Rolling fairways, natural sandy contours and ever-changing Atlantic winds create a pure links challenge that rewards imagination and precision in equal measure. The routing blends traditional Scottish golf character with modern championship conditioning, earning recognition among the UK and Ireland’s leading golf destinations. Beyond the course itself, guests of Another Place, The Machrie enjoy a refined Hebridean escape featuring contemporary coastal rooms, locally sourced dining at the 18 Restaurant & Bar, outdoor hot tubs and sauna gardens, whisky experiences and sweeping ocean views. The surrounding island is equally memorable, with renowned distilleries, wildlife excursions and endless beaches adding to the sense of remote luxury that defines every stay at The Machrie.
