Qatar's golf offerings

Founded in 1998, Doha Golf Club is one of the oldest golf destinations in the region, putting Qatar on the world golfing map. It offers two golf courses, sports courts, leisure activities and dining options, while it provides beautiful venues for any type of social event. 

Education City Golf Club (ECGC) opened in 2019 and was visioned by Qatar Foundation, a non-profit organization that promotes education, innovation and ongoing learning. Now operated by AMLAK Hospitality the facility aims to continue its development with the state-of-the-art golf facility ideal for golf enthusiasts and appealing to non-golfers as well.

Qatar’s golf clubs are teed up for all players — women, children and families are all welcomed and encouraged to play, says Kaye Holland.

Whether it’s an excellent meal after a round, a spa treatment for golfers — or their partners — or a dip into Qatar’s cultural offerings, there’s plenty to do beyond the course, finds Stuart Forster.
