PORTFOLIO 19
We are a hotel brand devoted to golf hospitality. Golf is the animating force behind everything we do. Our Scottish roots ground us in the birthplace of the sport, yet every property brings a unique identity with rich heritage and legacy, as well as proximity to the world's most celebrated and historic golf courses, from the Old Course at St Andrews and Royal County Down to Royal Dornoch and Muirfield. We are not just adjacent to golf, we are deeply embedded in the traditions and ever-evolving culture of the sport. The visual language of the game, from epic landscapes and tartans to scorecards and clubhouse rituals, inform the entire guest experience from architecture, design, and interiors to our wellness offerings, food and beverage, brand ethos, and events. We believe the rituals, rhythms, culture, and camaraderie around the round define the trip experience as much as the game itself. At Marine & Lawn Golf Hotels, the game of golf comes to life both on and off the course.
