The golf course had a soft opening in May 2009 and a proper opening the week after the Open at Turnberry. After allot of hard work and many hours the golf course was taking shape - reviews where getting better and better - yes we needed some time to mature but the potential was there for all to see. The week before opening we where still rushing to make the course as presentable as possible for the worlds media! That week we had well over 20 staff and we worked closely with Gregg Sherwood who works for the company that owns Machrihanish Dunes and runs the Golf development. We had the greens smooth and running at 9.5 on the stimp the day before! The course was very fiery and linkys - and what happens? The day of opening we have over a inch of rain and the golfers get soaked! not to mention the 40mph winds! typical!!! but as good day and after many hurdles the course was now open - now lets keep improving.
