The Machrie

A links on Laggan Bay, on the west side of Islay. Hotel guests and everyone else. The ferry is the way on.

The Machrie sits on Laggan Bay. Port Ellen is the address, and the dunes are the day. On 11 October 2026 their green fees page listed a visitor round at £148 until 1 November, and said people who are not staying at the hotel can play. The golf team take the booking by email.

Ardnahoe, on the north coast, is a different morning. The ferry from Kennacraig is still how most people arrive, and it needs a booking of its own.
