Qatar has become an attractive destination for golf enthusiasts, with Education City Golf Club one of the premium courses in the region. All parts of the course comply with USGA requirements. Play on the same fairways and greens where top golfers, such as Rory McIlroy, Adam Scott and others vie for the Mother of Pearl Trophy in the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters.
The course was designed by Spanish golfer José Maria Olazábal, who was inducted to the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2009. Soon after opening in 2019, the venue became part of the European Tour schedule. Choose from 18-hole, 9-hole and 6-hole courses to fit your schedule and skill level.
While playing, appreciate the many views. Early holes lead to a wadi wall along the Qatari desert. See Doha’s skyline from many spots on the course. Education City Stadium, a remarkable venue for international athletic events, is even closer.
For practice, use the Centre of Excellence facility, which offers a TrackMan driving range, with technology for monitoring ball flight and providing state-of-the-art feedback on each swing. Private lessons are offered in swing and putting studios that face out toward the driving range.
Education City Golf Club welcomes non-members for the course and driving range. Book visitor tee times 10 days in advance. Rental clubs are available. Bring family members to enjoy club amenities, including the Green Restaurant, health and wellness activities, art exhibitions and running races.
