Independent Package Example:
GOLF AT THE MARRIOTT DALMAHOY, Edinburgh The Dalmahoy has hosted the Solheim Cup and Scottish PGA Championship, but there is something special here for every golfer. There are two outstanding courses, including the recently improved East Course, which meander around the lake and across picturesque streams.
Round 1 Dalmahoy East Course: The championship East Course is a challenging inland masterpiece. Designed by James Braid in 1927, it underwent a £1 million redevelopment in 2004. A couple of cracking new holes have been added and as a result, the layout has been lengthened to 7,475 yards making it the longest golf course in Scotland. 18 holes. Par 72. 7,475 yards. Parkland.
Round 2 Dalmahoy West Course: The ever popular West Course is shorter than its sister course and offers an easier round of golf. Greater accuracy is required at times however to conquer its smaller greens and tighter fairways. It features a spectacular finish crossing over the Gogar Burn. 18 holes. Par 68. 5,158 yards. Parkland
