Qatar is a designer holiday destination boasting a stunning skyline and a carefully preserved heritage. Golf is one of the finer luxuries enjoyed by discerning tourists in Qatar. The nation offers some of the best greens on the planet. Listed here are top golf courses in Qatar.
The Doha Golf Club was designed by Peter Harradine. Opened in the 1990s, this was the nation's first grass course. Since its inception, the golf club has been a favourite venue for several European and Asian tournaments. Doha Golf Club boasts an 18-hole championship course as well as a 9-hole academy course. The 18-hole course hosts the Qatar Masters and is a lovely course to navigate with rock formations and water features, offering plenty of challenges. That being said, the course is not only for long-hitting professionals. Novices too can enjoy the forward hitting tees and make use of the putting green and driving range. To make the most of this championship course, choose accommodation at a popular Doha golf hotel. There are plenty of good options like Al Najada Doha Hotel by Tivoli, located only 23 minutes from the club.
Open to novices and golfers of varying skill levels, Doha Golf Club's 9-hole Academy Course is a less demanding course. The fairways here are much larger and there are fewer hazards with shorter holes. This makes it perfect for even seasoned golfers to enjoy a quick game or two. The course is floodlit, so you can enjoy a game – be it day or night.
The Education City Golf Club is equipped with an 18-hole championship course, 6-hole championship course, and 9-hole par 3 course. The 18-hole course is designed on USGA (United States Golf Association) standards. And it is designed on a pristine stretch of greenery that is an absolute treat to one's eyes. It's a par 72 course, designed to offer plenty of challenges and test your golfing skills, as you navigate wadi and desert terrain.
The 6-hole championship course is designed on the same standards as the 18-hole course for a shorter game. And the 9-hole par 3 course is perfect for golfers out to enjoy the game. Plus, it's open night and day. One can enjoy a game of golf all year round at this semi-private championship course. It was built in the year of 2018 and the architect involved is Jose Maria Olazabal.
This golf club was started in 1951. The course was comprised of brown sand in keeping with desert golf designs. However, in 1959, the course was turned into an 18-hole golf course when the Mesaieed club played host to the Middle East Oil Industry Golf Association Trophy Championships. The club is known to host a range of Championships and is equipped with a tennis court as well. It is open to members and visitors.
