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.

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.
