Amazing Argyll
Duration: 4 days
At the southern end of the Kintyre
Peninsula lies one of Scotland's most dramatic courses,
Machrihanish. Visitors come from every part of the world to test
its rolling links but few are prepared to negotiate the first tee.
Played over the beach and usually into a stiff wind, it's a fitting
start to one of the finest links courses in the world!
Dunaverty is also another
beautiful course with wonderful views and depending on the wind
could feel twice as long as its yardage.
A short journey north leads to
Lochgilphead where you have the choice or either 9
hole or 18 holes.
From Lochgilphead, an hour's
drive north through spectacular scenery takes you to Oban that
boasts a James Braid designed course at Glencruitten (Oban
Golf Course), offering a challenge to even the low
handicap player.
Twelve miles from Oban on the A85 brings you to
Taynuilt, with both 9 and 18 holes. Or, still on
the A85, Dalmally is a 9 hole picturesque flat
parkland course surrounded by mountains and bounded by the River
Orchy.
From Dalmally, take the A819 south to
Inveraray with its 9 hole course with
breakthtaking views over Loch Fyne and the surrounding hills. From
Inveraray follow the A815 to Dunoon. The town has 3 courses on
offer, the 18 hole Cowal, and two 9 hole courses
at Innellan and Strone. From
Dunoon a short ferry crossing brings you back towards Glasgow and
the main motorway links.
