 Sport on Mull


 

Isle of Mull Hotel Leisure Club and Spa
Now open, Mulls brand new leisure complex with a stunning Health and Beauty Suite. Hair salon, Spa, Mud and Relaxation room. Main and children's swimming pools and a fully equipped gymnasium.

For the golfer there are two nine hole courses to tackle.  Tobermory Golf Club been established since the thirties and enjoys a dramatic position to the north of the town. It has mossy fairways, fast, accurate greens and possibly the best views of any golf course in the world!

The new course at Craignure was opened in 1980. It is flat, tight and a very fair test of ability.

If fishing is your interest, Mull is a must. Sea fishing, river fishing - we have them all. Salmon, sea trout, brown trout and rainbow trout abound in hill lochs and fast flowing rivers. Permits are readily available - for details ask at your accommodation or call at Tackle and Books in Tobermory.

Take a trip out to sea. Every year dedicated anglers come to Tobermory to catch monster skate, sharks, tope and turbot. Eight Scottish and two British records have already been broken off Mull. Casual anglers are not forgotten - the Tobermory charter boats run special trips for families with tackle and bait provided.

Stalking is a major sporting activity on Mull and can be organised by many hotels given sufficient notice.

Hiking and hill-walking must rate amongst the best in the country. You need warm clothes, stout shoes, a stout heart, a good map and compass - we will arrange for the hot bath on your return! Guided walking tours are available with Mull Magic.

The Isle of Mull Rally is a big attraction and this year occurs over the weekend of 15th/16th/17th October; more information visit their website. Please note that a number of roads are closed for the Rally, and that accommodation can be in short supply, so if you want to see come to Mull for this exciting event, BOOK EARLY ! The organisers are also looking for volunteers, so if you can help, visit here.   A good website for the event run by the competitors themselves can be found at :www.TourOfMull.co.uk

A gun club operates in Tobermory and organises regular clay pigeon shoots to which visitors are warmly welcomed. At least one of the Holiday Mull hotels has private clay pigeon launching facilities for guests.
