The Pampas grass helps to bond poor soils found at the coast, while Marram grass helps to prevent erosion in the dunes.

The course’s tough but clear lines amid the occasional vistas that can stretch all the way to the island of Islay 25 miles away are accentuated by ribboned fairways framed by dunes and hearty rough or even meatier marram grass, just as it was when Max Faulkner won in 1951 wearing plus fours and using a putter made of driftwood.

There had been other habitat changes where mobile sand dunes were stabilised through the planting of marram grass.
