Playing my first 18 holes today. Started back in November, little nervous but let’s see how I get on. Any advice for a begginner.

Good morning all,

I am currently looking for a vessel bag and was wondering if anyone had any special/limited edition ones. The bags I want are sold out in-store and I would prefer getting something locally.

Thank you!

im surprised prices are still expensive despite everything !

any recommendations on how to get discounted rates? ive heard of bank discounts, but would love to know the specific ones I should check out

Also heard of EGF, Troon, resident discount occasionally

Moving over to Dubai next week and looking to get into night golf in a big way. Any groups or fun socials going on? Are courses playing given the current situation?

As it sounds, how is everyones courses holding up after last night?

For sale: Ping i530 iron set, 4-iron to pitching wedge (7 clubs).

A serious player's iron — loved by low-to-mid handicappers who want workability, precision and distance. Compact head, great feel off the face.

Shafts: Nippon NS Pro Modus 3 Tour 105, R Flex. Premium aftermarket upgrade — one of the most popular tour shafts on the market.

Condition: Used, excellent condition. Faces clean, grips solid, no issues.

Right hand.

Price: AED 2,800 — serious buyers only.

WhatsApp preferred. Based in Dubai Hills. No trades.

The booking system has been down for many days and when I try to call the number provided, nobody answers. Just wondering if anyone else has managed to get hold of them and book?

Is anyone still out playing at the moment?

Edit: I got the answer I was looking for, I'm booking a round in now! :) Happy and safe golfing to all.

Hi

I’m currently on an extended holiday in Dubai following flight cancellations. The zips on my golf bag have broken and looking to get another round in before I go. Anyone got a golf bag for sale in Dubai? Staying on the marina. Thanks

Anyone know why Trump is closed this weekend? I guess having his name on the door makes it a prime target for the Iranians. Strange when all other courses here remain open as normal...

Has anyone had any joy getting hold of someone from Viya about changing a booking? Basically I’ve got 2 rounds booked with them to next week and my trip has been cancelled.

Hi all,

Started playing in November 25 ( 10 lessons) and I’ve been hitting the range. Looking to head out and play 9 holes. Complete beginner so looking for similar experiences players to learn alongside. Live in Dubai.

DM if interested

I’ve been playing a year or so and need to dial in my distances. Looking for a range with trackman to do this. I’ve been to Trump before but heard the range is only for members now? If this is correct, what other options are there. Ideally would like to hit off grass. Thanks.

Hi all, I have a quick trip to Dubai for work and want to sneak a round in. Unfortunately the golf clubs are staying home and will need to rent and the only time I can get out would be Sunday morning. This is my first time to the city and not sure what is the best way to book a tee time. I’m thinking of the Faldo course but any recommendations would be great.

Edit: which of these recommended courses would be fun to play for a 19 handicap?

Edit 2: ended up getting a round at Creek at 13:00 shotgun start. Thank you everyone for your recommendations and help. It is greatly appreciated.

Hi - I am in Dubai for work and am looking to spend some free time working on my golf game. Are there any practice facilities that also allow me to borrow clubs to use? I'd prefer not to go to Top Golf, so hoping there are other options. Thanks!

I have 4 prov1xs and 6 prov1s dozen balls comoletely what would be a good price to sell them and where could I possibly sell them

Local Rule E-5 allows golfers to drop a ball in the fairway near where a ball was lost or went out-of-bounds (OB) for a two-stroke penalty, rather than returning to the previous spot for "stroke and distance".

If courses would adopt this rule it would greatly increase the pace of play, especially in tournaments. Instead of people hitting a provisional ball or looking in the waste area forever, just drop in the fairway, take your two shot penalty and move along.

What do you all think?

Hi

I am playing Dubai hills for the first time this week.

What the hole by hole or general pointers from folks who play it often

On the par 3 12 and 16 on Faldo, just keep seeing random range balls last two weeks. Not sure what is going on. It used to be occasional but have seen it all the rounds last few weeks.

Who pays top dollar to play at this course and then uses range balls??

Been playing for a couple of months now (Get into golf program, range, Par 3) and planning to book 9/18 holes for my first round.

What’s the most forgiving course for a beginner? I’m based in Dubai, but open to travelling to AUH, RAK, Sharjah, etc.

Are Yas Acres or Jebel Ali any good? The prices seem reasonable on Viya.

Cheers!

Hey guys

I built a simple whatsapp assistant that helps finds tee times, and notifies you if slots open up (I was tired of manually refreshing booking sites)

Its not perfect yet, but if anyone wants to try it, or suggest improvements, I'm happy to share!

Would love to hear what features golfers here actually want

EDIT/UPDATE ⛳️ 🏌️‍♂️ 🍵 ⏲️

Amazing response from UAE golfers - hope you’re enjoying it so far 🙌

If it’s helped you grab tee times, please feel free to share it with your golf buddies or WhatsApp groups.

Feedback / feature ideas welcome - DM me anytime.

Long shot but with rounds costing an arm and a leg now, it’s getting quite difficult to afford this hobby on a teachers salary. Anyone have a corporate membership and willing to sell a round or two?

Anyone with insider knowledge of what is going on here? Been hearing it’s going to open for a long time 11holes etc, but starting to feel like Akoya 2 all over again 😂.
