In the southwest corner of the Mull of Kintyre, where the movements of sea, sand, wind and grazing sheep have intertwined over countless centuries, nestles “the world’s most natural golf course”. It is here that famous golf course architect David McLay Kidd designed a pristine links layout that showcases the true essence of the game at its most basic: golfer against a wholly natural course that is never stagnant, encouraging creativity and innovation.
For the golfer who accepts the invitation and the challenge, the reward is a truly unforgettable experience. The 7,175-yard, 18-hole course flows effortlessly to, from and along the sea, inviting you to step back in time to the days when Old Tom Morris laid out the neighboring links. The routing, as well as the positioning of its tees and greens, was dictated by the lay of the land with the lightest touch possible to preserve the fragility of this pristine coastal environment. It's one of the great golfing experiences to be found anywhere in the world.
