I'm not. I just laugh at the lies that were spouted.

If you’re not that bothered why mention it then ?
And lies ? How can someone “lie†about a golf Course review ?

and probaably the over-rated Western Gailes edging Birkdale out of the top 10.
Never, not many better than Birkdale. I really like WG but it’s number in the top 100 is probably correct

I love Machrihanish and have had some great trips round there and look forward to going again. Need to get back round to see how the Dunes has come on.
I prefer Machrishanish Dunes over Machrianish.

I am another who prefers Dunes to the old, yes it quirky fun some might say the windmills are missing from the greens but I loved it, leaving in 8 hours to play the Autumn pairs. :thup:
Ps it's a great drive and not as long as you think, approximately 2.75 hrs for me door to car park and that ain't pushing it. As said earlier it can be bad if you get stuck behind Sunday drivers of agricultural traffic.

Guess you need to be in the know. However I guess it's best to let sleeping dogs "lie".
Sometimes knowledge is king.

Too high on the wumins list maybe
Definitely!
But on a serious note don’t you think course reviews should consider the experience for all golfers?

100% with you on that.

Kaz, did you take up the option to become a reviewer?

It's worth the trip, had 2 weekends there and it's now off my list, it's good but not that good! As for it being nearly a 4 hour drive then there's a hundred better courses that are closer than it, top 100 lol, yeah right.

Just love my trips to Machrihanish, whether it is the old course or the Dunes. You just have to take the drive as part of the experience and enjoy it. Food stops at Tarbert are also part of the enjoyment.
Haven't managed round this year, that wasn't for the lack of invites lol.
Hopefully next year.
Just remembered my profile pic is me on 10th tee at Dunes. Glorious day

No, Pete, didn’t toss my hat in the ring. Maybe next time after I’ve ticked off a few more of the top 100.

sort of agree Stevie boy. Ive played both courses twice, once in one of Craws meets and TBH wasn't that impressed, but thought i would give both another chance as it was only just out of winter. Went back a few years later in Summer and unfortunately wasn't much better. a couple of the fairways had so many daises on it was hard to find your ball.
better courses closer.

Yep, hey it's easy to fall for all the romance but when you wake up the next day your thinking was that it? Top 100 lol, you couldn't make that up.
