Golf courses
The Marriott Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club offers two fantastic golf courses in the Championship East Course and the slightly shorter but just as challenging West Course. The two combined make for a truly enjoyable golf break suitable for players of all abilities.
More information on golf coursesThe Marriott Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club has hosted both the Solheim Cup and the Scottish PGA Championship, which has earned it a reputation for its high quality golf courses. With two great courses to pick from, the East and West contrast beautifully to make for an interesting and enjoyable golf break.
East Course (Marriott Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club)
The Dalmahoy East Golf Course is a challenging inland masterpiece. The golf course was designed by James Braid in 1927, and since its £1million redevelopment in 2004 has gone from strength to strength.
The new layout stretches the course to an intimidating 7,475-yards from the back tees, making it the longest in Scotland, and the addition of some quality holes have made the course even more challenging, proof of this was in the course hosting the 2006-2008 European Seniors Tour Event.

West Course (Marriott Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club)
The shorter, easier West Course at The Marriott Dalmahoy is an ideal warm-up round before the main event on the East Course.
However the round won’t be a walkover, but with smaller greens and tighter fairways, accuracy and club selection, particularly on your approach shots, is vital to a successful round.
