As we look forward, The Hero Dubai Desert Classic is just around the corner and our Agronomy team, led by Matt Perry, have been working tirelessly once again to deliver the finest playing conditions. With Rory leading the big names, it’s great to see fellow Ryder Cup stars join him in this Rolex Series Event.
Captains Day
This year’s Captains Day will be hosted on Saturday 9th March, with Captain, Frank Duggan, pulling out all the stops to ensure the day will be fun filled with some very creative additions. With both the Majlis and Faldo courses being used, it will present a unique playing experience for all Members.

Golf Academy
It’s very exciting to see the new Golf Academy take shape. The unforeseen delays were disappointing, but we have a great addition to the Clubs’ facilities. The new technology includes additional launch monitors, putting analysis and air-conditioned teaching bays. The F&B outside with rooftop seating will offer stunning vistas across the golf courses and Dubai skyline. We will continue to review our practice facilities and strive to continue to enhance this space.
Course Care
I would like to thank Members for their continued support in helping maintain our courses. The importance of repairing ball marks, divots and raking bunkers is vital to ensuring the best possible playing conditions. It’s vital that we care for our courses and for our fellow golfers who are playing behind us.
Thank you for supporting our wonderful Club, and I look forward to seeing you soon.
