One of the many wonderful benefits of a golf tour in Scotland is the chance to walk in the steps of legends, and here at the fabulous Machrihanish you can play a course that, according to the great Jack Nicklaus, features one of the best opening holes in the world. Your very first shot of the day will be across an ocean inlet. Try to remain focused, and try to remain calm!

Over the years, this course has undergone a number of modifications and changes, yet it remains true to the original designs of Charles Hunter and Old Tom Morris. It’s a good test for golfers, but this is far from a track that only suits the low handicapper. The undulating fairways hug the beach, which is considered part of the course and not out of bounds. Accuracy, therefore, is likely to be more important than distance.

The greens offer a variety of challenges, because some are below the fairways and others are raised above them. If you like variety in your round, you’ll love this place. Machrihanish is a popular choice for tour organisers from all over the world, and it’s easy to see why this should be. Proper, old-fashioned links golf has so many devotees, so come along and experience it for yourself.

The west coast of Scotland in general and the Argyll region in particular are much-loved by visitors. There’s plenty to see and do here in addition to the golf, and you’ll find a great selection of accommodation options to choose from to make your stay extra special. You could also explore the area when you have a day away from the links, to get a taste of what Scotland is all about.

Here at Platinum Golf, we know what it takes to create a golfing adventure that will never be forgotten. There’s more to it than simply turning up at the first tee and playing. With our help, you and your friends can savour an experience like no other, with all the tee times, accommodation, transport and sightseeing laid on for you by experts.

Platinum Golf Scotland Testimonials

Cannot think of an aspect of our trip that could have been better. The itinerary you created was first rate, and your execution through Alan and James, was flawless. Yours and Stuart’s attention to detail than follow through, were indeed worthy of your “platinum” name. Truly a trip of a lifetime. I would serve as a reference anytime. Thank you so much again.

Best, John. J

I echo everything John said. It was a tremendous, unforgettable trip. Everything was top-notch — accommodations, food, weather, caddies, and all the beautiful courses. I miss my Scottish breakfast! A special tip of my new Scottish tweed hat to all our drivers, especially Alan. He took really good care of us, showed us some interesting local things “off itinerary” and was just a joy to travel with.

Thanks again for all work you did getting me a buggy at each course. It made it all possible for me.

Dear Lynda, Sending a short note of thanks for all of the support organizing the trip last week. I can say with confidence this was the best golf trip I’ve ever taken! The itinerary, schedule, accommodations, restaurants and on and on were all great. Special thanks to both you and Stuart for helping to make my 50 year celebration a memorable one. I hope to be able to book another trip again in the future.
All the best,

Brian D

Dear Stuart and Lynda,

I wanted to thank you for a fabulous trip to Scotland last week. You put together the perfect golf and stay package and everything went flawlessly (including really nice weather). We also enjoyed having James as our driver. He was the best! Erick, Jim, Brian and I all had a great time.

This was the definition of a “bucket list” trip and the experience did not disappoint. The only downside is, after nearly a year of anticipation, it is hard to believe the trip is already over and we are back home.

Thank you again. I would definitely love to use you again for future travel and will be very comfortable recommending you to friends and family.

We will be in touch for sure.

Blair

Marc and I would like to thank you for the beautiful journey you prepared. Everything was well organized, timing, convenience, réservations, etc. All the people we met were so kind to us that we felt just like home. Golf in Scotland is the best place and this east coast is just gorgeous we leave the country with the ambition and hope to be back.

Michel & Marc

It was so nice to meet you and Stuart in person as well.  Clearly you take great interest in your clients’ satisfaction, and it shows.  As we may have mentioned, we had never been to Scotland or the UK and this trip exceeded all of our expectations.  And as lovers of golf, the experience was utterly unforgettable.  Thank you again for the lovely gifts you shared with us upon arrival.

We loved our trip.  If we booked it again tomorrow (we wish we could!) we wouldn’t change a thing except maybe substitute a different hotel for Loch Green.  Thank you for making our “bucket list” trip so special. 

Russell & Kelly

Thanks again for a fantastic trip !

We look forward to the next one !

We have had a great time in London too although it’s been a bit overwhelming! What a city!

Keith

Thank you for this wonderful experience and for helping to make this trip a dream come true for all of us. We can’t wait to come back to Scotland!

Vince

Our heartfelt thanks to you and Stuart for the holiday of our dreams and especially for Johannes. It was beyond his expectations (and mine) and we had such a beautiful time together. The true test of Johannes’ love for Scotland was his purchase of an entire kilt outfit with all the bits and bobs, I nearly fainted –I am truly living in Outlander. I almost fell over, we expect our kilts in December or January, and photos will be sent, I promise

I cannot express enough how grateful I am to you both, every detail and every moment was fabulous! We are eating shortbread with proper marmalade and relish our memories.
