Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club boasts two excellent parkland golf courses along with fantastic golfing facilities, making it one of the premier golfing destinations around Edinburgh.

James Braid designed both the Championship East and West courses which are set within 1,000 acres of glorious woodland with elevation changes making for some challenging lies as well as serving up fine views of the Pentland Hills to the south.

Dalmahoy has hosted a number of top events on the golfing calendar including the Solheim Cup, the Scottish Senior Open and the Scottish PGA Championships, to demonstrate the quality of this Scottish resort.

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!

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.
