40 - Top 50 UK & Ireland Stay and Play Dalmahoy

Set in 1,000 acres of mature parkland, just seven miles from Edinburgh City Centre (there are views of Edinburgh Castle from the estate), Dalmahoy is one of Scotland's best-known golfing resorts. There are two courses on offer here. The East is the longer and more challenging at 7,475 yards off the tips and it has played host to a number of significant competitions over the years including the Scottish Senior Open on six occasions between 1998 and 2008. The West is a shorter and less testing layout at 5,168 yards, ideal to use as a warm-up for the resort's longer track or for the less experienced player. The hotel delivers recently refurbished and extremely comfortable rooms, along with a spa, sauna, gym and tennis courts.
