THE FUTURE LOOKS BRIGHT FOR AL ZORAH

BIG THINGS ARE HAPPENING AT AL

ZORAH GOLF CLUB IN AJMAN. VERY BIG THINGS INDEED.

Standing at the head of a list of impressive developments currently in process at the much-loved club is the construction of a huge new state of the art luxury clubhouse which has been ongoing since May 2022 and is now starting to take shape nicely.

“This marks an exciting phase for the club, aiming to elevate the experience for members and guests upon the clubhouse’s completion in early 2024,” said Al Zorah Golf Club’s General Manager Phillip Henderson. “The clubhouse will feature various dining options, including a rooftop bar and extensive recreational amenities, complementing the club’s overall offerings perfectly. Our goal is to create an unforgettable experience for all!”

We were lucky enough to get a sneak preview of what visitors to the clubhouse can expect during a tour of the construction site last month and it’s going to be a truly spectacular space. The Troon managed course has been a popular escape from the hustle and bustle for Dubai and Abu Dhabi’s golf community since it opened to much fanfare in December 2015. It’s a veritable wonderland of wildlife and fauna situated within acres of lush mangroves just off the gulf coast and the new clubhouse is going to offer breath-taking views from its outside balconies and roof terrace. It’s a view which will also be able to be enjoyed during the summer months with the stylishly designed clubhouse featuring floor to ceiling windows throughout. And it’s not just about pretty views – nature and environmental sustainability lie at the heart of the Al Zorah philosophy.

“Last year, we received the prestigious GEO certification, a testament to our unwavering commitment to environmental conservation,” said Henderson. “Our golf course is surrounded by over one million square meters of pristine mangroves, creating a unique regional offering. Additionally, our tidal system ensures that the water levels shift with the tides, resulting in dramatic changes for golfers depending on the time they play. Our focus on fostering a deep connection with nature sets us apart from other regional golf courses.”

The new clubhouse, along with some planned enhancements to the golf course, will further increase Al Zorah’s popularity among domestic and international golf tourists who are accommodated in the lap of luxury at the club’s official hotel.

“The Al Zorah community boasts of the renowned Oberoi Beach Resort, which provides an unmatched experience that is sure to leave a lasting impression,” said Henderson. “The resort’s exceptional quality, coupled with the stunning golf course, makes for an extraordinary stay-and-play package that appeals to both local and international guests seeking a premium getaway.”

Another significant development happening at Al Zorah is the wide array of new real estate projects underway with investors around the world being attracted by the dream of beachfront living in the heart of nature.

“In its focus on catering to local and international golfer, Al Zorah has introduced distinctive real estate projects,” said Henderson. “The year 2022 proved to be exceptional one for Al Zorah as it achieved multiple milestones with the successful launch of luxury beachfront villa developments, Seaside Hills Villas and Seaside Hills Residence, as well as several projects in Al Zorah City with a total development cost around AED2 billion (USD 454m).”
