DALMAHOY DRIVES FORWARD
WITH NEW “GOLF ONLY” MEMBERSHIPS
After introducing a new
Young Adult Membership and Family Bundle offering in September last year,
Dalmahoy Hotel and Country Club, widely regarded as one of the finest golf
resorts in Scotland, will be introducing an exciting new set of “golf only”
categories that will incorporate a variety of options for all golfers.
The club, which now
runs independently after many years with the Marriott Hotels portfolio, will
introduce four brand new “golf only” categories on March 1 this year.
GOLF ONLY CATEGORY OPTIONS
ü FULL GOLF: Full access
to both on-site golf courses
ü WEST GOLF: Access to
the Resort West course only
ü YOUNG ADULT (22-29): Access
to both golf courses
ü 5 DAY GOLF: Mon-Fri
access to both golf courses
We asked Sam Oliver (pictured at Dalmahoy), Director of Golf and Leisure, some key
questions on Dalmahoy’s exciting improvements:
So, you're now operating as an independent hotel - how has that affected
what types of membership you offer?
Sam: “Becoming an independent venue has allowed
Dalmahoy to re-discover its own unique character and not only play on its rich
Scottish heritage that is so appealing to our visitors, but also allow us more
freedom to tailor our membership offerings for both the local and domestic
market.”
The new “golf only” categories will add to, what is already, a great
variety of options for every type of golfer. What was the thought process
behind the new categories?
Sam: “We want to encourage new members to see all that Dalmahoy can
offer from a lifestyle perspective, and
combat the challenges that many private members clubs face currently, and are
likely to face in the future. We must be pro-active and ensure we are
offering flexibility and variety to meet the demands of modern life.
"What is exciting is that we are already receiving a number of enquiries for the new packages, so much so that we are building a waiting list ready for the March launch of the golf only categories. In a time when waiting lists at golf clubs are becoming a rarity this shows real promise for the future of our club .
"Time to play golf and keep fit, family and work commitments all impact on why clubs are experiencing tough times at the moment. With two championship courses, a nine-hole pitch and putt course, practice range and a wonderful country club, we believe that the value on offer in all membership categories is now very competitive.”

There are no joining fees for any of your membership categories. Has
this always been the case? If not, why have you scrapped the joining fee?
Sam: “We want to offer accessible luxury. We currently
offer flexible monthly direct debit payment options with some fantastic loyalty
rewards. We have recently introduced a cash referral programme too so that our
members will be well rewarded for introducing their friends and family to
Dalmahoy.”
When do the new “golf only” memberships come into play? Have you had
much interest already?
Sam: “We are launching the four new categories on
March 1, 2018. The response has been extremely positive with members and those who
are looking to join a club in the New Year. We have many plans for Dalmahoy,
but establishing a more flexible approach to membership has been one of the
first, key changes to be made and I am thrilled with the response.”
Tell us more about the facilities on offer at Dalmahoy?
Sam: “Sport lovers really are spoilt for
choice with our two 18-hole golf courses, floodlit driving range, pitch and putt course, outdoor tennis courts, swimming pool and gymnasium. Sitting amidst
a thousand acres of scenic parkland means you feel a world away from the hustle
and bustle of our capital city, yet just 20 minutes from Edinburgh and three miles
from the M8/M9 motorways.
"We continue to invest heavily in both golf courses to ensure
that they meet the very best conditions possible, subject to seasonal demands.
Our primary goal is to ensure members, visitors to the club and member’s guests
have the very best experience possible.”
