"At the Machrie, on the isle of Islay, you can get back to the roots of the game and play it the way it was meant to be played: man versus nature and the elements, over rough and tumble ground, all on foot." - Mark Fedeli
"Don’t ever let anyone tell you that golf isn’t a physically taxing activity. In Scotland, where nary a golf cart can be found, it most certainly is. Your typical over-manicured golf resort gives the sport a bad name — but at the Machrie, on the isle of Islay, you can get back to the roots of the game and play it the way it was meant to be played: man versus nature and the elements, over rough and tumble ground, all on foot." - Mark Fedeli
"Golf purists will recognize the appeal of a trip to Islay rests not on a hotel, but on the Machrie Links, a fabled Willie Campbell course that dates back to 1891, and is basically the epitome of everything championed above." - Mark Fedeli
"Golf purists will recognize the appeal of a trip to Islay, in the Inner Hebrides rests not on a hotel, but on the Machrie Links, a Willie Campbell course that dates back to 1891. As long as you’re there, though, it certainly helps that the hotel is as impressive as it is. The Machrie is hotelier Gordon Campbell Gray’s first hotel in Scotland, and it’s everything you’d expect it to be — fantastically luxurious but impeccably tasteful about it, and historically aware but never old-fashioned. Even non-golfers will appreciate the dramatic landscapes and the extensive wellness offerings, and the restaurant, with its panoramic sea views, serves upscale locally sourced fare." - Tablet Hotels
