Machrihanish Golf Course
Machrihanish's 18 hole Championship Course is one of the originals and a must experience classic dunes course designed by Tom Morris in 1879. It is home to what is reputed to be the best first hole in golf with the tee shot taking the brave over the Atlantic and beach. The course is experienced against the back drop of the expanse of the Atlantic and the Inner Hebrides. Wheeling round the course and providing a chorus are the course mascot oyster catchers.
(Machrihanish Golf Club House was destroyed by fire in December 2018. The new clubhouse is scheduled to be completed December 2020. There are currently temporary locker facilities and club services available and the course itself is functioning as normal).

Whisky Tours
Campbeltown was once the Whisky capital of the world until prohibition and recession caused the closure of all but a few of its working stills. There are now three award-winning distilleries operating; Springbank, Glengyle and Glenscotia. Regular tours and tastings take place and all are welcome.
