It's a good shout Andy, even if it was £200 a night it's worth £50 a head I reckon.

Here we better give Kirsty a mention also lol
Think I would prefer Tarbert as Campbletown is a shithole.

Tarbert is a cracking place, its vibrant, fun and always has something on the go. One of my biggest regrets is not applying for the post that came up there last year. Beautiful town.

Entry forms in and still spaces available.
8 of us are booked in from 13.00pm......superb,looking forward to playing the masterpiece again!
Looking into the possibility of doing a bit of a tour to get there too.We are playing Irvine on the Thursday,Kintyre on the Friday morning then we are looking at breaking the drive by doing the boat option via Arran,cost will be £37 each but will add a bit of sightseeing and dare I say it romance to the trip!
Still no idea where we are stopping Friday night tho!

There is a little b&b at Tarbet that I would not reccomend. You could barely walk round the bed and the ensuite was a cupboard. It was on the higher ground up from the harbour. Ferry stopover.

Just back from an epic trip playing come lovely golf courses with Machrahanish being one of them but sadly the place is in truly awful condition with the greens being possibly the worst set of greens I have had the displeasure to putt on in my 30 years of playing golf.......they are fu##ed,lost,gone and I can't see us going back for at least a couple of years as it'll take at least that for them to come back.
Shot 77-3-74 with a triple on 13 from 70 yards short of the green!! Tough conditions weather wise before you factor in the 2 putts of under 2 feet I missed that both went straight left off the holes/weeds in the greens.....happy enough with that,Dano had 79-8-71 and IM01 had a 74 gross after a hot 2 under front nine. A really enjoyable day and we even managed to catch up with James from Golf Monthly who was waiting to peg it up at the Dunes on a Golf Writers day!
Big thanks to Bogside84 for the bottle of Champers he kindly left at Bogside,a really nice touch,I owe you one and you have a super track with beautiful greens that were like snooker tables!
Will post a review of the 3 courses in my trip when I get time along with a few photo's.

The greens are pretty poor still, hardly the worst that I've ever putted on. They will continue to over seed them for the duration of the season and once the growth comes back, fingers crossed they will start to recover. The course took an absolute battering in the storms over the winter, coupled with a greenkeeper error and a disease they nearly lost the greens which is clear to see.
The greens have got better since I was there in April but there is a hell of a long way to go.
13, I also hate that hole Allan, I just cant get it all the way onto the green with that stupid wee hump at the front of the green. My usual bogey on 13 for me.
That said I did manage to beat you with a poor 78 - 6 for a nett 72. I hope they work out an away SS. I sadly hit the bogey trail finishing bogey, bogey, bogey, bogey, bogey, par. The back 9 at Machrihanish is no push over, especially into a stiff breeze.
