Dalmahoy Hotel, Golf & Country Club - East Course

Great course with some challenging holes. Quite long but very forgiving. Will definitely play again

Wonderful course and the starter was knowledgeable and friendly explaining the intricacies of the course and tee boxes. Thoroughly recommend.

Lovely course, very long for a couple of 19 handicappers but a very enjoyable round, staff were great will definitely play again

I cannot fault anything, was a perfect day out for a guest who was hosting a visitor to Edinburgh. My only regret was I didn't allow time to use the other facilities as they looked great also.. I can't recommend Dalmahoy enough, will definitely be back.

Our second time playing the East Course and it is still great. It was in excellent condition- tees, fairways and greens. The tight fairways, particularly in the back 9 stretch of 4 or 5 were really challenging in the wind but enjoyable. Beautiful setting on 1, 9, 10 and in particular 18 with the House right in front.

Delighted with my Day at Dalmahoy East Course Absolutely Brilliant from Start to Finish..

Very nice course in very good condition but as others have commented there are a lot of 400 yard par 4s which makes it a lot harder if not driving 250 yards consistently. Will return but expectations on scoring will be tempered.

Course was in good condition, especially the greens. Staff was very friendly and helpful, and as a two ball we moved along quickly in well under 4hrs. Was a good layout with some good par 3s and 5s. The main reason I didn’t give 5 stars is it was too long for an average golfer, especially the par 4s most of which were 390-425 yds. At just over 6600 and over 6000 from ladies tees it was too long. I’m a senior golfer with an 11 handicap and I just don’t hit my tee shots 275 -300 unless down hill and down wind on concrete. Most of the 4s were driver,fairway wood or long hybrid. My wife is a solid 15 but used to playing 700-800 yards less. Yes, the ball rolls further and for the ladies it was a par 75, but we all don’t hit it like Rory, and it ceases to be fun when it’s all driver then fairway wood just to get close to the greens. Golf is supposed to be a challenge, but fun for all abilities and this is a resort course. Simple solution here is to have one forward tee at around 5200+- and let players choose the best tee for their ability. This is an issue with a lot of courses in the UK and while some might argue that the reason we come play in Scotland is to be challenged , I believe to continue to grow the game it is important to make it enjoyable for all abilities.

Played the East course for the first time in 10 years since being a member. Really nice course and enjoyable day but clouded by a few fixable things and some that can’t be helped.

Firstly we were rushed onto the tee 10 minutes early and usually being sent off early would be great but not in the case. We were closely followed by two two-balls, one of which were playing ridiculously fast behind us, to the point they were hitting through us. My partner and I were not playing slow at all.

1 & 4 were winter greens but was actually two holes cut out in the ground.

excellent course to play.....staff very helpful, the 18th is a joy to play with that big ditch in the middlr

For starters I had booked the wrong date. The staff were absolutely fantastic, friendly and accommodating, they adjusted our booking and got us out on the course without a fuss.

Due to the weather and time off year the tee boxes were brought forward and shortened the overall distance however, the course was in fantastic condition given the recent downpours to which the green keepers had it playing like it was the middle of summer. The greens were aerated and still ran at a decent pace and without much hindrance to putting.

The grounds, course layout and staff were all fantastic and I can’t wait to be back.

Played East course on a Sun Morn in November and although some forward tees the course was fab condition. Friendly staff and members. Lot sand under greens turf so drains really well. Would defo return.
