Emirates Golf Club passes one million rounds milestone

Emirates Golf Club celebrated yet another huge milestone this week, recording its one millionth round of golf.

Emirates Golf Club has grown from a single course in 1988 to the ambitious and spectacular venue it is today, featuring the Majlis and Faldo courses, Peter Cowen Golf Academy, plus world-class leisure, food and beverage facilities.

Andrew Whitelaw, General Manager of Emirates Golf Club, said: “Emirates Golf Club has become an icon in the UAE and one of the city’s most prominent landmarks. Over the past 25 years we have inspired golfers at all levels and set the bar for the growth of the sport in the region. Serving one million golfers is another huge milestone – in a year of huge milestones – that we wanted to celebrate with members and guests.”

The Majlis Course has been presented with numerous accolades over its 25-year history, the most recent of which were its 2012 ranking by Golf World magazine as one of the ‘Top 100 Golf Courses in the World’ and its award for ‘Best Course Middle East’ in the Asian Golf Monthly Awards 2010.
