Executive English and Activity programmes

Combined language and activity programmes are becoming more popular every year. A typical programme will involve Executive English lesson tailored to your needs in the morning and a leisure or sporting activity in the afternoon. These often take place at the hotel.

Executive English plus Golf programme

Scotland is the home of golf, and until you have played the game on one of our links courses, you have not experienced the real game. Edinburgh has more than 20 golf courses within a short distance of the city.

Edinburgh has around 20 excellent golf courses and we can offer English plus Golf at the Marine Golf Hotel, Dalmahoy and Gleneagles. We can tailor a week’s golf and English to suit both your language and golf skills; some clients want lessons aimed at their short game and negotiation skills, other want general English and the chance to play three rounds of golf at three different courses. The choice is yours. A typical day would involve English lessons in the morning and golf in the afternoon, with the option during the summer months of a second round of golf in the evening.

Marine Golf Hotel in North Berwick

The Macdonald Marine Hotel & Spa is at the heart of the East Lothian golfing coast.  The hotel overlooks the 16th green of North Berwick's Championship West Links course, which threads along the edge of the Firth of Forth.

The course includes one of golf's most copied holes, the infamous 15th, "Redan". Real golf enthusiasts can enjoy one of the 40 sea view rooms where they can watch players from dawn to dusk. With a host of suites and courses on the doorstep and with 1&2 bedroom apartments coming on-line in Autumn 2006 the Macdonald Marine Hotel & Spa is truly a golfer's dream location.

The Dalmahoy

Dalmahoy is a golfers’ paradise. The hotel’s 17th century Baronial mansion sits in 1000 acres of parkland 7 miles from the city centre. It has two 18-hole courses, a PGA-approved golf academy, gym, indoor swimming pool, spa and tennis courts. As soon as you enter the gates, you feel as if you are in a sanctuary from the outside world and can spend the next week concentrating on your golf and your language skills. The hotels wireless internet access does allow you stay in contact with the office; but experience tells us that you won’t want to.
