Escape to The Dalmahoy, an enchanting baronial mansion on ‘Edinburgh’s country estate’. Explore 1,000 acres of rolling parkland, mature woodland, meandering nature trails and majestic golf courses, just seven miles from the centre of Scotland’s capital.

This top golfing destination has two challenging courses including the Championship East Course, plus a golf academy. Its modern leisure club features a heated indoor swimming pool (with designated kids’ splash times), sauna, steam rooms, well-equipped gym, and floodlit tennis.

Bedrooms are modern and spacious, many overlooking the grounds. Manor House rooms in the original mansion have period features, including high ceilings and sash windows. Or you can check-in to luxurious Suite accommodation in one of the mansion’s turrets.

The hotel’s signature restaurant, the Pentland, celebrates the very best of Scotland’s larder, with fresh produce straight from the hotel kitchen garden. There’s an extensive wine list and great cocktails, all served up with breath-taking views over the golf course and the surrounding estate.

Laid back, hearty meals are served up in The Brasserie at weekends – think juicy burgers and homemade pizzas (plus a great kid’s menu) and all-day light bites are available in the James Braid hotel sports bar. Sink into a leather sofa beside a roaring fire in the cocktail bar and delve into the world of Scottish single malt whiskies, including the hotel’s own Dalmahoy whisky, commissioned by the Earl of Morton.

Whether you’re seeking great golfing days with friends, a girls’ weekend retreat, rosy-cheeked family adventures, or a wildly romantic sleepover, Dalmahoy invites you to pause, reset, and play in a truly unique destination.

The hotel is just off the A71, 2 minutes from the M8 motorway and 20 minutes’ drive from Edinburgh city.

Golf Courses

Dalmahoy Golf Club

Host to major amateur and professional tournaments over the years, including the Solheim Cup and the Charles Church Seniors PGA Championship of Scotland, Dalmahoy is widely considered one of the country's great golfing destinations.

Set at the foot of the Pentland Hills, Dalmahoy Hotel's 1,000-acre country estate lends itself to stunning, uninterrupted woodland views and superb golfing facilities, including a 12-bay floodlit driving range and a 9-hole putting green.

James Braid – one of the leading golfers of his generation; he won the prestigious Open Championship an impressive five times – designed both of Dalmahoy's 18-hole courses – East and West. With undulating greens and bunkers, they have been designed to offer different challenges for the keen golfer and make for an enjoyable golf break just outside of Edinburgh.

Dalmahoy Golf Club

The East Course

Designed and built by James Braid in 1927, the East course has since been extended and redeveloped to test even the best of players. The 18-hole course's long sweeping fairways and generous greens, protected by strategic bunkers, offer a championship-standard golfing experience. Long par 4 holes provide a real challenge and the signature 18th hole has the green set in front of the baronial country mansion with a testing approach over a wide ravine.

  • 18 holes
  • Parkland course
  • 7,475 yards
  • Par 72

The East Course

The West Course

The shorter West course offers a very different game to its sister course. With tighter fairways and smaller greens, more accuracy is required from the tee. The finishing holes cross the Gogar Burn – a tributary of the River Almond – meandering through the fairway.

  • 18 holes
  • Parkland course
  • 5,168 yards
