Information
Home to Peter Harradine and José María Olazábal designed courses. Night Golf: Courses are floodlit, allowing play during cooler evening hours. Qatar Masters Host: Play where international professionals compete annually. Golf Academies: Excellent learning centers with PGA professionals and high-tech simulators.
Advance booking is mandatory, especially for weekend tee times and during the cooler winter season. Green Fees: Rates vary significantly between peak (morning/winter) and off-peak (afternoon/summer) times. Guests must present a valid handicap certificate for Championship Course access.
Clubs often enforce strict cancellation policies, requiring 24 to 48 hours notice for tee time cancellations to avoid a penalty fee (often the full green fee). Cancellations due to extreme weather (e.g., fog, sandstorms) are handled by the club, which typically offers rescheduling.
Modern clubhouses and facilities (Education City Golf Club) often provide excellent accessibility. Courses themselves usually accommodate specialized golf carts for players with limited mobility. It is best to confirm specific accessibility needs when booking the tee time.
Strict dress code enforced (collared shirt, tailored trousers/shorts, appropriate golf shoes). Pace of Play: Maintain the pace set by the club (e.g., 4.5 hours for 18 holes). Course Care: Repair pitch marks, rake bunkers, and respect the natural grass areas. Cart Rules: Adhere to all cart path rules to preserve the highly maintained grass.
Standard green fees do not include personal injury or equipment damage insurance. Guests are advised to ensure their personal travel or health insurance covers sports-related accidents. The club/operator typically carries general premises and liability insurance.
