Machrihanish Dunes Golf Club

This is an amazing course, first time we have played it when there was a substantial breeze.

The wind made it pay much trickier, depending on heading into or out of the wind. Driver into wind 180yds, driver with wind behind 275yds made for unusual club selections. Greens very dry and slick on the day made it difficult to keep the ball on the putting surface. Course in great condition rough very punishing but a great challenge on the day.

Played here on a sunny day with a breeze and my husband. Gentle start with some very interesting holes on the front nine. Both played these under our handicaps and turned for the tenth thoroughly enjoying ourselves. That’s when we ran into trouble. The back nine is a much tougher challenge. Blind tee shots with marker posts to aim for, hidden greens again with a marker post. A lot more hills and places you don’t want to go. Both came off the course feeling thoroughly dejected and beaten up by the wind. However, playing it a second time with what we learned the first time would make it more enjoyable. Don’t get lulled into a false sense of security. Long walks between greens and next tee.

Great course in a wonderful setting on a lovely day in August. Friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely come back again and certainly recommend to anyone.

A must play course! Greens are fantastic; condition and shapes!

Great course, some really tricky holes. We played off the white tees but the yellow tees would actually have made it better.

The dunes is one of my favourites. I try to go at least once a year. Great layout, fun greens and there's always a warm welcome.

Played The Dunes for the first time today. Loved it. Layout impressed me as did the condition of the course. Excellent welcome from Jock on the Golf House. He even joined me on the 1st tee and gave me the line. Scorching sunshine made this a fantastic visit and the greens were huge and very undulating, offering the course excellent protection given that a few par 4's aren't much longer than 300 yards. Views from the course are fabulous. Can't wait to return.

Got a great deal with teeofftimes hot deals and had a great round of golf.

This is not a course for beginners but it's fantastically entertaining for the experienced golfer.

I'll look to play it again when I'm next in this part of the country.

Considering it was only the middle of February the course was in really good condition especially the greens. It was very tricky in the windy conditions. We thoroughly enjoyed our game and will definitely be back. Would certainly recommend the course to anyo

Excellent course. I like the variation depending on choice of tee. Good challenge and will suit golfers of all handicaps.

Great course but not easy in windy conditions

Still a great course

No buggies for hire which is not easy if not fully fit and for such a long course

I think they should look at this especially for USA golfers

Outstanding, challenging course, the wind was a big factor during play, however, didnt spoil the round. Loved the large hilly greens which are in perfect condition, enjoyed the different holes with hidden greens & really had to think about which shot to attempt rather than just smashing the ball as far as i could. Will definatley be back to play this course again. Loved it!!

Excellent course with fantastic greens and not forgetting the tough bunkers

Would recommend a round to anyone & hope to return very soon

Loved the Dunes but be warned, it is hard on the knees. The undulations make the course a fascinating place to play but it is not an easy walk. It is one non stop roller coaster from the first tee on and you will get some weird bounces and rolls off the humps and bumps. Gorgeous links course especially considering how new it is. With Macrihanish GC down the road a fantastic pair of links well worth the rather tortuous drive from Glasgow. It's a matter of some discussion among cabbies and caddies in Scotland whether this course is any good, but I rate it as good as, if not better than Macrihanish GC.
