The Mar Hall Hotel, Golf & Spa Resort is exemplary in all three of the categories in its name. From the championship Earl of Mar golf course to the luxurious 5-star accommodation on the resort, through to the leisure club and spa facility on site, Mar Hall ticks every box when it comes to a golfing resort.  

 

The Earl of Mar Championship Course, designed by former Ryder Cup player Dave Thomas, was opened in 2010. The world-renowned golf course architect laid the course out on the banks of the River Clyde, with the Scottish water coming into play on several holes throughout the round. The course can be played in two loops of nine, with both the front and back nine winding their way back to the hotel and clubhouse.  

 

When you are back at the hotel, you will find a luxurious array of accommodation at the Mar Hall Estate. The hotel itself has an astonishing range of Classic and Deluxe Rooms, along with Junior and Grand Suites, the latter of which comes with a separate living area to the bedroom. For a more private stay, the luxury Lodges at Mar Hall offer a self-catering stay for groups of up to ten, with a range of three- and five-bedroom lodges available to rent out.  

 

For those that want to relax during their time in Scotland, the Mar Hall Spa is the ideal spot. With beautiful amenities and the opportunity to indulge in a massage or treatment during your time at the spa, what more could you want? And if you’re looking to workout then there are jogging trails and a swimming pool in the leisure club on site as well.

Mar Hall’s golf course is an 18-hole layout – the Earl of Mar Championship Course. Former Ryder Cup player and now world-renowned golf course architect Dave Thomas was the man to design the Earl of Mar Course, which was opened in 2010 and runs along the banks of the River Clyde at times.  

 

From the back tees, the Par 70 track is just over 6,500 yards, so it is not the longest course in the world. Thomas' design allows golfers to also play just nine holes, with both the front and back nine playing in loops which wind their way back to the clubhouse. 

 

The course opens with a narrow par 5, so you had better be warmed up with the driver. The 1st is the longest hole on the property, and the only hole that hits 500 yards. The 4th hole tees off alongside Erskine Beach on the Clyde, while the 7th hole is a tricky par 4, which has a huge tree and bunker in the middle of the fairway. 

 

The 11th is the hardest hole on the course, playing as a par 4 that measures more than 440 yards from the tips. 15 is the final par 5 and plays with the banks of the Clyde down the left side, before inland water comes into play on the last three holes. 16 makes its way around the lake as a dog-leg left, while the par 3 17th has the lake to the back left of the green. The water is then by the 18th tee but should not cause any issues as golfers aim for home.  

The luxury hotel on the Mar Hall Estate has a range of 5-star accommodation. There are various rooms and suites and luxurious self-catering lodges. Every room at the Mar Hall Hotel has stunning views, with some looking out over the Earl of Mar Course and the River Clyde, while others have views of the Kilpatrick Hills and the landscaped gardens on site.

Each offering features unique decor and a bespoke design, while making sure that your stay is as comfortable as it can be.
