Dalmahoy Hotel, Golf & Country Club - East Course
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

East course in great winter condition
Well kept great course. Beautiful at this time of year.
Totally Love It!
Always a 10/10 in my eyes. Everything is just fantastic and I love visiting this special place. Was a wee bonus with the mild weather a week before Christmas. Thoroughly enjoyed my time as always!
Great championship course close to the city
Great value for a championship course close to the city. Some interesting hole layout at the back nine.
Fantastic course in great condition great facilities & very pleasant friendly staff I would definitely recommend.
5* It's a must!
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
Great course, difficult par 4's long but lovely wide fairways.
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!
Excellent course
Great course
Very good for time of the year
Friendly staff at starter hut
Allowed me to start early as. Not many before me
Dalmahoy
Excellent course. Greens were a bit bumpy and patchy at bits.
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.
Excellent condition
Excellent condition with amazing view.
Highly recommended
Good for time of year
Played a few times now, friendly staff, lot of holes have been significantly shortened have played on better greens lately but overall a good round for this time of year at a decent price.
