Golf Courses at Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club

Championship East Course

The East Course has been host to major events such as the Solheim Cup, the Scottish PGA and the Scottish Seniors Open to name a few.

Nicknamed ‘The Beast’ this course is a true challenge for even the very best golfers demanding a combination of raw power and a precise short game to be able to score. The fairways are wide and mostly forgiving (except for a few cunningly placed bunkers by James Braid), so you’re able to open the shoulders and really go for it on most tees. The greens are large and receptive, meaning you should have a large target to aim at if you can keep the ball in play off the tee.

Following a renovation in 2005, Dalmahoy added two new holes in the trees (13th & 14th) which are now two of the East’s signature holes alongside the impressive 18th. These two holes are much tighter with narrower fairways and plenty of hazards to avoid. A stern test for every golfer!

Resort West Course

While the Resort West Course is much, shorter, it still offers a good test, and complements its monster brother extremely well. Accuracy is more important here, with tighter fairways and smaller greens, and the course demands a good finish as golfers negotiate the Gogar Burn.

Accommodation at Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club

The hotel at Dalmahoy offers superb accommodation and top-class leisure facilities in a country club environment. Add this to the fact that Edinburgh's legendary city centre is a mere 7 miles away, and it is clear that Dalmahoy is a fantastic destination for a golf break.

The building itself is a converted baronial manor, overlooking the Pentland Hills to the south and hundreds of acres of glorious countryside that would defy the hotel's location next to Scotland's capital city.

The 203 bedrooms and 12 suites are all of an excellent standard, offering guests all the facilities and comforts that are expected from a good 4-star hotel. The Pentland Restaurant serves innovative international cuisine, while comforting classics are available in the Long Weekend Café Bar.

The Dalmahoy Leisure Club offers hotel guests the chance to utilise cardiovascular equipment free weights and classes, while the Beauty Essentials salon offers health and beauty treatments.

Eat in one of central Edinburgh's top restaurants, including Martin Wishart, La Garrigue, The Tower, or the Witchery.

Drink on bustling George Street for classy bars, or on the Royal Mile for traditional pubs.

Visit Edinburgh's historic castle, perched gloriously above the city centre.

First visit to Dalmahoy and thoroughly enjoyed it. Share a double "family" room with a friend. Ample space for an overnighter. Super comfy beds and relatively quiet. Woken by some late night revellers going to their rooms, doors could be a bit more sound proof. On a DBB rate with a round of golf. 3 course meal menu was adequate but not extensive. Food quality was good, would have been nice to have bread included but heyho. Dining room was bright and vibrant, bar area bit old fanshioned but comfortable. Free pint of Dalmahoy lager was very nice.Breakfast was a well stocked buffet, only diappointment was no lorne sausage. Staff friendly and helpful, definately worth another visit.

A sunday driver is probably not the best time to be on a golf course as busy as Dalmahoy. Stuck behind a few 4 balls of young men obviously on a bender weekend. One definately couldn't play so much time was spent looking for his ball and us standing around. Interesting course, as long as you don't mind blind tee shots and lots of up and downs and huge bumkers its a good test. Very helpful starter gave us some tips which we tried to remember and would have helped if we had. Was realy windy and got a bit cold late afternoon so we gave up at the 15th so we had time to have a drink before dinner. Definately worth another visit.
