Overview
Doha Golf Club, with its lush green fairways, was among the first grass courses in the Middle East and stands as a flagship in Qatar’s sports scene.Since opening in 1998, just north of central Doha in West Bay Lagoon, it’s stood out for its rare blend of desert sand and lush greens, upscale facilities, and a reputation for hosting top-tier international golf tournaments.The Championship Course is an 18-hole, par-72 layout stretching about 7,374 yards, designed by Peter Harradine.It’s a desert-style track softened by lush greenery, eight shimmering lakes, and more than 10,000 imported trees and shrubs, with over 60 tall cacti from Arizona adding a striking touch.This course hosts the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters on the DP World Tour.The Academy Course, a 9-hole par-34 at roughly 3,000 yards, is fully floodlit for evening play and offers a shorter, more forgiving round-perfect for beginners or a relaxed game.The Mediterranean-style clubhouse overlooks the fairways and includes several dining spots like Spikes Bar & Terrace, ideal for a cold drink after a match, plus locker rooms, lounges, meeting spaces, and event facilities.The Qatar Golf Academy features PGA-certified instructors, private coaching, clinics, youth programs, swing analysis, indoor simulators, and short-game practice.Players can warm up at a driving range with grass and mat tees, a large putting and chipping area, and bunker practice zones.The pro shop stocks premium golf brands and offers custom fittings and club repairs.Extras include GPS-equipped cart rentals, club rentals, bag storage, and caddie services, along with a fitness center and spa.The venue also hosts weddings, corporate events, and social gatherings.Located near The Pearl and Lusail, it’s about a 10–15 minute drive from central Doha, with the Lusail metro station on the Red Line a short walk or cab ride away.The atmosphere blends quiet elegance with the buzz of competitive sport.You’ll find local traditions woven together with the easy camaraderie of an international golf crowd, maybe over the smell of fresh-cut grass by the clubhouse.It’s great for families, thanks to the academy and the easygoing 9‑hole course where you can hear the soft thud of a well‑hit ball.
