[ACoz2000]

Hi! Does anyone know if there are any social golf society's about in Dubai? I have looked at joining golf clubs there but they are either full or way too expensive... Golf Society would be good! Any info would be great...

Hi, I am due to move out to Dubai in about a months time. I don't know of any societies but I am certainly bringing my sticks with me! Would be great to meet up for a round when I get out there!

Yes, I already live here and play on a "sand golf course" sound bizarre but its ok.. worth a go if you never tried it, you'll love it or hate it!

I only play golf with people who enjoy beer and want a knock for the social side! I play off 13 what about you?

Will you be joining a new company over here and where have you planned to live? Any family?

Cheers!

What's the green fees for this sand course?
Previous threads all suggest that they can be pretty high.

Hi, the Abu Dhabi Sand Course is very cheap in fact, membership is around 500usd and a round starts at about 20usd its the cheapest form of golf in UAE and there is a course in Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, Sharjah and a small one in a place called Ruwais which is two hours past Abu Dhabi.

Cheers for the tip, my company is sorting flights so hopefully they have a corporate account with Emirates! Otherwise I will have to pay for my sticks when I get to the airport.
Out of interest, what are greens like on a sand course? Surely these have to be grass??
