September – November 2013
Now that summer is coming to a close and the start of the new golfing season is upon us, we can reflect on some recent big milestones for Emirates Golf Club. Earlier this year we celebrated our 25th year in operation and towards the end of August our 1,000,000th round of golf was played on the Majilis. We look forward to the start of the new season and we have a host of new golf, dining and recreation activities for you to experience. Join us for our new evenings which include a Bollywood themed night in Spike Bar or treat your loved one to a romantic alfresco picnic at the club including your very own personal butler. As usual you can catch up with all the sports at Spike bar, enjoy the new season of premiership football, the Championship Rugby and Formula 1. If, however, you feel like being more active, we are now offering new classes at Fit Lab, join us for TRX training, Zumba, Pilates and much more. As we welcome the cooler weather, take the opportunity to perfect your game with our highly trained golf professionals. The Academy offers a number of training programmes to improve your technique and get you on the right track to improve your game in the new season. We look forward to welcoming you back to Emirates Golf Club again soon!
