On Scotland’s rugged west coast, in the scenic Kintyre peninsula, lies a compelling blend of golf, hospitality and flavor: Machrihanish Golf Club, Dunaverty Golf Club, Ugadale Hotel and the Kintyre Gin Distillery. Together, they deliver a complete experiential package for golf enthusiasts, spirit lovers and luxury travellers.

Machrihanish & Dunaverty – Classic Links Golf

Machrihanish Golf Club is iconic, particularly for its opening tee shot — widely considered one of golf’s great visuals. The course embraces true links character: dunes, wind, ocean views and rolling fairways.

Dunaverty Golf Club, just minutes away, offers a smaller but charming layout with a friendly, intimate vibe. Paired with Machrihanish, it makes a brilliant dual-course experience for visitors seeking variety.

Ugadale Hotel – Your Kintyre Luxury Retreat

The Ugadale Hotel provides stylish accommodations, spa amenities and refined cuisine rooted in local ingredients. Its proximity to Machrihanish makes it a premium base for golfers who want to balance sport and relaxation in Kintyre’s serene landscape.

Kintyre Gin Distillery – Savor the Spirit of Kintyre

A standout regional attraction is the Kintyre Gin Distillery, a local gin producer using pure water and locally foraged botanicals. After a day on the links, guests can tour the distillery, learn the craft of gin production, taste limited-edition bottles, and purchase unique releases not widely available.

Kintyre gin often highlights notes of pine, coastal herbs, peat, citrus and sea spray — reflecting the rugged terroir of the peninsula in every sip.
