The Dalmahoy Golf and Country Club bills itself as "the only golf resort in the local Edinburgh area." It makes a good base to reach other Scottish golf destinations. Dalmahoy is a top draw, designed by James Braid in 1927. It hosts upper-tier golf events and has featured names such as Greg Norman, Seve Ballesteros, Nick Faldo, Lee Trevino, and Colin Montgomerie. Two golf courses sit on 1,000 acres of some of Scotland's most magnificent landscape, encircled by woods, waters and the Pentland Hills. Each offers unique tests for all levels of golfers.

Dalmahoy Golf and Country Club's East Course - site of the 2006-08 Scottish Senior Open and several Scottish PGA Championships - offers 18 holes and 7,475 yards of par-72 golf. A 2005 redevelopment of the course ran about $2 million. On Ye Go from the very first hole, as it is called, a monster of a starter, a par-5 that measures 532 yards from the blue tees.

Battle the Devil's Table, The Ha Ha and the marathon 605-yard par-5 Braids Brawest, and you'll reach Solheim, the final hole on the Dalmahoy Golf and Country Club's East Course, where you'll need to finish the day by clearing 460 yards in four strokes.

Honestly I don't think you can get much better value for money than this course. It's absolutely outstanding in every aspect. Yes it's a challenge but raise to the challenge. Enjoy! 5* everything

Over booked

Full group of 4 balls in front… way beyond slow play. Over 5 min wait on each tee… 25 degrees and they had closed half way house before 3pm. No access to water. Very poor.

Long but very enjoyable

This is the first time I’ve played Dalmahoy since the construction of the two new holes. They are a welcome addition to the course. I played on a Wednesday afternoon and got round in under 3 hours.

The greens were very good and the rest of the course was in good condition too.

Excellent practice range to warm up. Friendly, helpful staff. All together a really enjoyable afternoon.

Where do I go from here!

A very fine course and friendly clientele as I enjoyed playing solo and learning a new course. There was a possibility I could have played a few holes twice as the signage and guidance was poor. Perhaps because I was distracted by a lovely redhead woman running her dog along side me for two holes…I would follow her but get of course. Some good challenges and blessed with wonderful weather I enjoyed playing here immensely!

Dalmahoy East

Course is fantastic front 9 allows for open play with some long holes, but the back 9 are a different proposition tightens up with a great deal of challenge.

The greens are still coming out of their winter hibernation look forward to playing again in the near future

Great days golf

Again love playing this golf course the layout the scenery, hard to beat. Met a Canadian visitor who was absolutely blown away with the course, and said that he would be back next time with his friends, to see and play Dalmahoy. Of all the courses he had played during his visit to Scotland Dalmahoy was by far his highlight.

Spring is almost in the air!

Friendly, helpful staff throughout.

Great driving range, chipping areas and putting green for pre-round prep. Car parking is in the middle of things so great accessibility. Great changing facilities in the leisure club.

I teed off at 12:04 and had no-one behind me. I was behind a four-ball, so was able to try a few things across my game which was great. Still finished in good time.

Fairways generous - spring growth not quite here yet. Some temporary forward tees a bit furry in places- understandable due to the time of the year. This brought many of the fairway bunkers into play which I wouldn't have been able to reach otherwise- this added to the fun. Greens typical for this time of year- a little bumpy in places, yielding to approach shots and fair to putt that is well struck. Only one temp on the 18. Pitch marks.....arghhh!!!! All that said - definitely on the list of courses to go back to with friends!!
