Machrihanish Golf Club Mull of Kintyre, Scotland: The warm ocean currents of the Gulf Stream leave the eastern shore of Florida not far from Seminole Golf Club (in Florida), enwrap Bermuda within sight of The Mid Ocean Club, and proceed northeastward to the shores of Great Britain and Ireland.
In Scotland, the southwestern corner of the Mull of Kintyre ("ken-tire"), near Machrihanish ("macra-hanish"), receives these waters from the open Atlantic. Seminole to Mid Ocean to Machrihanish. Machrihanish has never been easy to reach, and therein lies a great measure of its magnetism and eclectic following.
In 1876, Queen Victoria was named Empress of India, golf writer Bernard Darwin was born, the Toronto Golf Club was incorporated and the Kintyre Golf Club was formed. By 1888, Kintyre was felt too dull a name for such a special course and it was changed "in consequence of some members preferring the sonorousness of the word Machrihanish."
Visitors travelled by sea to Campbeltown, then made their way across the peninsula by hired car or railway thereby providing the essential holiday elements of escape and isolation. Previous to World War I, Machrihanish ranked "almost with North Berwick as the most socially acceptable golfing resort in Scotland," according to the magazine Scottish Field.
