Want to play Social Golf in Dubai!!

[FRANKDUBAI]

Hi guys,

I havnt played golf in years but was hoping to get back into the swing of things (no pun intended) as the weather here seems perfect for it!

Where is the best place to go to play 9 holes? Im not a beggineer but havnt played consistently in years so looking for an eaygoing/social course that provides clubs!Dont want to buy a new set incase my appetite for the games is not as big as i think! I have googled it but all I get back is the realy big pro courses!

Oh and if anyone fancies a game that would be cool to!

Thanks!!!!

Hey Frank,

try Jebel ali Beach Resort. It`s a nine hole course with a bit of a sting in the tail and as it`s approaching summer they will shortly be doing some unbeatable deals.

Yeah Jebel Ali is your best bet, they do club rental too. Played there 2 weeks ago (first round of golf in almost 4 years) and cost 150 Dhs for the 9 holes. When booking say your handicap is any number under 20 and they won't question it. Unfortunately it's a tricky course, I must have lost at least half a dozen balls over the 9 holes. They've got a nice driving range and practice chipping/putting area too.

Hey Frank ... I am in the same quandry as you and haven't had a game since coming back to the Middle East last year as I didn't want to morgage the house to do so.

I haven't heard of Jebbel Ali course before either, but am up for a slap and tickle and happy to make up a 4some as long as you don't take the game "too seriously".

Have to head off back to Oz in the morning (Monday) just briefly because of a family bereavement but will be back here Saturday next .... So any time after that works for me .... I only get to check this forum occassionally, so send a PM if you are interested .... Cheers Greg

Frank,
Conas a ta tu?

I play Sharjah most every other week, 9 holes, just play it twice, not many bunkers, good fairways but also some challenges along the way. Always tees of with shotgun starts so you coudl start on any of the nine holes, 2 for one deals in the entertainer and they run the 2 for 1's during the summer also.

RAK is another nice course but obviously more of a drive. Played Saadiyat island a few weeks back, pricey and very tough. not played Jebel Ali. The Arabian Ranches is another one but is a tough course.

Always up for a game of a Saturday...drop me a PM if you're heading out again soon.

What part of home you originally from? Here long?

Have a ring round all the clubs for prices. You will find that they all offer club hire.

You'll find all the info you need here:

I love golf, but my normal days off are Sunday thru Tuesday Those are the only days I do about to do anything on. 12 hour days, and 4 hour driving/work stuff just do not leave alot of time for much else on the other days. Maybe a Friday 7:30 am meet up would work, but would have to be short as I need my sleep

If your interested in a round on those days, pm me. I am in the lovely Discovery Gardens so the Jebel Ali golf course is close to me. Heck, even finding someone who would like to meet to hit balls and a cup of coffee would be grand.

[FRANKDUBAI]

Ok great! Jynxgirl...you sound like a candidate for the driving range! Which is cool to!

I also see you are a moderator...I have made my 5 posts...why cant I PM?? Maybe you could flick the switch on the QT for me!
