The championship East Course has hosted a variety of high profile events, including the sole European victory in the Solheim Cup back in 1992.
The East Course at Dalmahoy was opened in 1927. The layout was dreamt up by the much lauded and imitated golf course designer, and five time British Open winner, James Braid. It is 6,638 yards long from the back tees and has a par of 72. From the tees more usually occupied by the proverbial man on the street, it is, however, significantly shorter and should provide a tough, yet wholly manageable, challenge to the vast majority of reasonably competent club golfers.
Dalmahoy is not a championship course that you play merely in order to walk the fairways that professionals have taken divots from. It is not a course that, by the fourth tee, will have you checking your bag to determine whether or not you will have enough balls to finish the round. There are no island greens or 250-yard carries over intimidating lakes at Dalmahoy. The East Course at Dalmahoy is simply a very good and very fair golf course.
