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.
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.
Food & Drink
The Pentland Restaurant serves innovative international cuisine, while comforting classics are available in the Long Weekend Café Bar. Alternatively 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.
Leisure Facilities
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.
Visit Edinburgh's historic castle, perched gloriously above the city centre.
How to get to Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club
Dalmahoy is conveniently situated just 20 minutes from Edinburgh and just 10 minutes from Edinburgh Airport.
Additionally, Dalmahoy is in close proximity to top attractions in Edinburgh, such as the renowned Edinburgh Zoo and Murrayfield Stadium, offering guests a memorable experience during their stay.
A two night stay with 2 rounds, one on each of the two courses. We are regulars at this hotel which we find to be extremely comfortable, very clean and presentable with exceptionally friendly and efficient staff. The food in the Pentland was of a good standard with a varied menu suitable for all tastes. We'll be back again next year

The accommodations looks beautiful from the exterior. Inside, the rooms are quite dated and basic.
However, the food in the restaurant is very good. Breakfast could improve with better replenishment at busy times.

A beautiful hotel in a lovely setting. Both restaurants were very good. We had a lovely couple of days here
8 / 10
We had two double rooms - 167 and 174 which were quite accessible from the various areas of the hotel (as some of the rooms are quite a distance away). The rooms were clean but the beds were very soft causing us to meet in the middle. Also the wardrobe space was exceptionally narrow not even allowing for a pair of shoes to be put in other than lengthways. The Pentland restaurant was excellent both in terms of food quality and service. Special mention to Lucy who looked after us both evenings.The Braid bar was a bit untidy when we were there - crumbs on the floor around our table and the table needing to be cleaned but the service was good and veery friendly.

Course was lovely and course staff were excellent and very welcoming.The course was on winter tees but that was what we were expecting,we enjoyed playing the East course and will return to play again.
10 / 10
The hotel was great but unfortunately the food service was very slow. We had to remind the staff about our desserts after we had waited 45mins and the restaurant wasn't busy. A massive queue greeted us for breakfast, and although it went down fairly quickly we were amazed to see so many empty tables once we got into the restaurant. The food was lovely though.

Great overall experience. Service in the bar and restaurant was very slow. Nice rooms and facilities
8 / 10
Very nice hotel with two major points that could be improved:
1. The noise when another room door is closed is quite loud
2. The organisation at the restaurant i.e. at breakfast is horrible. he services tries it’s best but there seems to be no system (who is doing what) wat ends in chaos

Great experience from check in through to departure, all staff showed great customer service.

Loved everything about the hotel with the exception of the evening meal. You need to book ahead to get into the onto site restaurant or brasserie meaning your only options are the golf lounge or cocktail bar which have reduced menus. They also struggle to cope with large volumes of people and were told in the golf lounge bar they were no longer serving people to handle the customer volume in the restaurant, brasserie and the wedding which was happening on site. Finally, we were served in the cocktail bar and the food was very overpriced and disappointing for what it was.

Great hotel however overpriced for drinks and snacks, set menu very average.

Brilliant
6 / 10
Mixed. A lot of staff were very young, didn’t know what they were doing, didn’t smile not even when talking to us. When we asked for more jam during our cream tea we were brought two little jars of HP sauce!!!
Breakfast in our room was very poor. Soggy toast, tiny croissants and never seen Rice Krispies like them looked like White polystyrene ovals - didn’t eat them! Given hardly any butter and orange juice was a cheap variety.
Dinner in the brasserie was fine. Food average and had a lovely smiley, friendly waiter.
Im afraid we won’t be going back or recommending to others.
10 / 10
Hotel and rooms were clean and comfortable . Nice beds and warm room. Can't complain about the hotel at all. We had our meal in the brasserie which was included in the price .the starters were all served together however the main meals were served separately and people wee finished their main meals while others had to wait an extra 15 minutes afterwards.took nearly an hour and a half to get served and I had a couple of the people complaining. Breakfast was self service and very nice

My friends and love a golf weekend here but noticing that prices for food and drink are getting more and more expensive. At dinner there is now a charge for things like chips,potatoes and veg etc.,As for alcohol for for 4 double spirits with a dash of soft drink was costing £50 per round. The breakfast is still excellent. The staff as always are very nice and helpful.

I had a very enjoyable stay for three nights. This is a comfortable spacious resort with lovely grounds and two entertainment golf course

The hotel restaurant was expensive and over priced for a trip of this nature. We booked for Dinner, bed and breakfast but had to pay for all side dishes as no vegetables, potatoes, chips or anything came with the main meal! A meal in the Golf bar or adjacent restaurant would have been better value. The drinks in the hotel restaurant we’re also significantly more expensive than in the golf bar
Rooms ok but bathrooms in need of a refresh
8 / 10
Nice hotel nice golfs the only negativ point is the restaurant if you stay for a week, the menue is always the same
8 / 10
Both Dalmahoy west and east course were in good condition overall, with a bit of wear and tear on a few greens and close proximity to the greens, to be expected given the amount of play year round, the west is the shorter course, and more fun, with the east being a lot longer and tricky if your not a big hitter. Breakfast in my opinion was at best an average buffet style affair, with the evening meal being cooked to order and was much better quality, room comfort was fine, but looking a little tired, general facilities in the hotel complex and spa were of a good standard, staff were friendly, polite and professional, worth a visit for the golf, just don’t play the west course then the east course x 2 unless your golf fit, it’s a tough slog.

staff very friendly rooms clean and comfortable only down side was the menu lnot much variety but overall good few days

All very good apart for waiting for 45 minutes for sandwiches after golf and one hour for our evening meal to be served. However the staff were excellent and we were compensated for the long waits.
Hopefully this was just a blip.

First visit and could not have been more pleased with standard of everything from accommodation to food, staff, facilities etc.

The rooms were excellent with good beds, unlike some other hotels the beds were well spaced apart which is good when sharing with another golfer!
The only real complaint was the bar which was small for such a big hotel, took a while to get served. No TV room.

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.

Hotel was nice , room was large and comfortable. Staff were brilliant.Enjoyed the food for evening meal and breakfast.
10 / 10
Couldn't fault it. Only issue we had was that the booking had come through from YGT as a double instead of a single, but the hotel sorted that with a minimum of fuss. Good 3 course dinner and excellent course. Unfortunately due to weather, West Course wasn't playable on the Monday, but we just asked for a voucher from the hotel and that was sorted immediately. Excellent

Great facility and settings, rooms were fine. Bathrooms could do with updating. Staff were very poorly trained and very unattentive. Food was very average. Breakfast was extremely poor. Really enjoyed the golf side of things and facility but the stay at the hotel overall was poor and would go back for a round but not to stay at the hotel.
10 / 10
Fabulous hotel and surroundings and great golf course. My only issue was the menu for the evening meal was very limited without paying a supplement. Otherwise great food including breakfast and reasonably priced bar, unfortunately didn't get to use the gym/pool facilities but they looked top notch.
