Bases for Rambling
Three are three "bases" that lend themselves to 2-3 night stays and offer access to the best of this region's courses:
- The Kintyre Peninsula - This is the home of the Machrihanish Golf Course, simply one of the best links courses in the world. You have to play this course in your lifetime!
- The Island of Arran - A weekend and summer vacation destination popular among Scots and indeed folks from all over Great Britain. This small island boasts seven golf courses, at least three of which certainly deserve play when you visit.
- The Island of Islay - The single Scotland golf course that makes the trip to Islay worth while is the Machrie Hotel Course, one of the most remote, unspoiled and classic links courses you will ever play
