Euan Grant, distinguished in his field, brings considerable experience creating and maintaining the finest traditional links courses. As Head Greenkeeper at the Old Course at St. Andrews since 2004, he was responsible for the overall maintenance and upkeep of the world’s most famous links including the preparation of the Old Course for all events including the famed 2005 British Open Championship.

Euan Grant makes no secret of the fact that he is thrilled to be part of a new chapter in links’ golf history. "I fell in love with Machrihanish when I first saw it and I am thrilled to bring my experience to the development of a project that’s so focused on preserving the traditions of the game," said Euan. He added, "It will be very exciting to work with David McLay Kidd and his team on such a fantastic and important project."
