After a number of years going through the planning process work started mid 2007 with the course designed by David McLay Kidd and DMK golf constructing. Paul Kimber was lead designer on site (now with http://www.kimbergolf.com/) and Connor Walsh lead shaper (now with http://www.conorjwalshgolf.com/) Measuring 7,175 yards, Machrihanish Dunes features six greens and five tees at the ocean's edge. "We followed the lie of the land and unlike most courses around the world, we did not lay out the course and make the land change with it, we designed each hole around the natural terrain," says David McLay Kidd. During the whole construction phase we worked closely with Scottish Natural Heritage and actually employed a full time ecologist Carol Crawford (http://www.tnrc.co.uk/) The story was just beginning.
