Group booking note
The Machrihanish links (1876) is one of the great undiscovered Scottish courses; the Atlantic opening tee shot is among the best in the world. Book a minimum of four nights — the journey time makes a three-day trip feel rushed. Machrihanish Dunes is the modern links next door, designed to be even harder to read.
Where to stay
Where to stay: base yourself in Campbeltown
The Ugadale Hotel sits right beside the Machrihanish links and its self-catering cottages are built for golf groups — the convenient base for the two Machrihanish courses, which share the same stretch of dunes. Campbeltown itself, six miles away, has hotels and self-catering and more to do in the evenings (it has its own distilleries, Springbank among them). Whichever you pick, book four nights: the drive down the Kintyre peninsula, or the LoganAir hop from Glasgow, makes a three-day trip feel rushed.
A group of 8–16 splitting one house is usually the cheapest way to do this trip. Compare self-catering cottages near Campbeltown on Snaptrip. We earn a commission if you book, at no extra cost to you.
