Marriot Dalmahoy Hotel and Country Club is set in acres of woodland with the Pentland Hills as a backdrop and offers marvellous views of Edinburgh Castle and the hills of Fife to the north. The East Course is renowned throughout the world and is a wonderful test of golf, while the shorter West Course provides a delightful foil to its more illustrious neighbour.


The championship East Course has hosted many major events over the years including the Solheim Cup, The Scottish Seniors Open Championship and the PGA Championship of Scotland. Designed and built in 1927 by James Braid the East Course has changed little from the original layout.

The greens are large in scale with immaculate putting surfaces and many of the longer par 4 holes, with their intelligent use of trees and hazards, offer a serious challenge to the golfer. The short holes are well-bunkered and the 15th hole in particular, known as the "Wee Wrecker", provides a tricky preamble to the treacherous par 4 sixteenth.
