Interesting tee boxes…🤔
Machrie?
No other course like it.Played it once,3 putted 9 greens,not going back.
Now the Championship course,that’s another matter – simply Macranificent !!!
This is a lovely series. With the rise in 9-Hole courses (par4 and par5 varieties), you should do a tour exploring some of these. There seem to be more 9 hole courses near me than 18 hole courses and I'm pretty much in the heartland of Scottish Golf!
It’s looking very dry, was very green in May.
Great course.
You need a periscope on that course
Machrie Andy cracking looking course your playing
Never, and I mean never ever, bring the Speedos!
I am English but my family are from Camble Town! I played there when I was about 11 it was amazing and got me hooked on my love of golf courses, not just golf. The 1st hole is stunning!!!
Keeps getting better! A golfing paradise. Are you going to list any details like cost per round, where to stay, travel etc on your website? Would be interesting and helpful for those of us now dreaming of following in your footsteps. Thanks!
💪💪💪👍👍👍
As usual my Sunday has been completed by watching your Ferry Series, look forward to next Sunday, always love the drone shots. Looks hard and firm out there with the dry fairways.
Running out of words watching these…🏌️
Good video Andy Mac Dunes is good but prefer Mac Old the original links.
Looking forward to last in this series…and hope its Machrie on Islay.⛳⛳
Great vlog. You are right the greens are like the Himalayas at St Andrews. Great course would like to give it a go. thank you.
Campbelltown!
You're more-or-less taking the trip I've plotted out for myself as a potential itinerary for next year, although I'm hoping to also do Machrihanish Old and Dunaverty before leaving Campbeltown. I assume Islay for The Machrie next?
Played the machrihanish double in June, (old course and the dunes) stunning courses but not for the faint hearted or those wild from the tee! Was good to actually get to see the dunes,when we played the mist had came in and could barely see. Great video
Stunning, simply stunning. I would imagine that when there is a bit of wind that course would be thoroughly evil
As always Andy, this is another venue on your ferry trip that did not disappoint! All of these venues have captured my heart and just made me even more determined to "cross the pond" and play as many "out of the way" venues as possible!
Truly a Big Thanks to you for what you are doing in this series and a big Thumbs Up to your better half for her outstanding cinematography!
Random question did anyone actually win the clubs from this vid? https://youtu.be/U6mdeYYA1BU
I'm so happy ☺️ my life is totally changed. I've been earning $10,250 returns from my $4,000 Investment every 13 days
Always applaud your own shots Andy 👏👏☝️😆 well done again pal stunning views and course will think about taking the camper van up there and play 😎✊ Diolch 👍
Loving the series . . . . may try this one out 😉 . . . . we need ‘bucket list golf’ for the average golfers . . . . what are your top 10 (or more) courses? . . . . I will play them 😉
Next stop… Islay.
Askernish next up ?
Played it soon after it opened and promised to return when it had matured a little. Unfortunately when I did it was in very poor condition, the greens in particular.
For me, Machrihanish Golf Club is a league above the Mach Dunes. Stunning part of the world none-the-less!
Well done Young Lad
Stunning course.
Islay and the Machrie next week?
This series is absolutely magnificent. Thank you!☺☺
We played both courses (each twice) 3 years ago this week. Everything was so green and lush with rain on 2 days. Spent four nights at the lodge – what great accommodations! One of my favorite corners of the world.
Another suberb video Andy in the series, what a fantastic looking Golf course. Can't wait for the next episode cheers Peter
Were there two of you(u)s, day tripping, yesterday, recording this so I could watch it? I'll let The Beatles references be, and thank you both once again for your joint efforts.
Another great course and video
Andy Andy love the mini series great video work , o and some lovely golf shots👏👏👍
That'll be Islay then coming up? My Granny was from there, great Uncle was the Islands blacksmith back in the day
The one point about the marker posts is to check which tee they are based on. When I played at Mach Dunes, I hit a dead straight drive at a post on one hole (I can't remember which) then struggled to find the ball until I realised the marker post was for the white tee and I played off the yellow, which was well left of the white to MP line.
You will be off to Islay next – which I hope to play next year, so I look forward to next Sundays vlog.
Pity you didn't mention Machrihanish GC, Dunaverty and Carradale. They are all well worth playing in that area. Carradale was a surprise to me but Machrihanish was my favourite. Maybe next time .
Andy, another great course clog, I’ve said before I think the quality of the filing certainly enhances what you’re doing. Great views, great course and what more can you say about Scotland. Exceptional.
It appears Andy that there are stunning views from almost every part of the course. Knowing you as I do, it's not at all surprising to see that you always offer your viewers very balanced reviews of the courses you play. This particular course in my opinion looks to provide visitors with a wonderful experience. Your game looks in good shape too which always helps!
Absolutely spectacular course! Added to my bucket list!
no more average golfer. that looked like a sub par round. very impressive short game!!
100%. The more I think about it, the better it gets. Thanks for the video. Takes me back to April and some serious stormy weather on the course.
nice video, I (miracolously) drove that first green to about 4ft and missed the eagle putt. Great course and old machrihanish is just as special. hope u played that too
Excellent series, but from a pedant's point of view, you were on Kintyre. The Mull of Kintyre is only the actual headland at the southern tip of the peninsula.
Just beautiful! So jealous Andy. Hoping I can make it over here some day!
Really enjoying the series, beautiful scenery (and camera work) – and some more courses to be added to the wish list
