emirates7 - The Abu Dhabi City Golf Club has refreshed its visual identity by incorporating the phrase "Since 1977," highlighting its legacy as a key institution in the development of modern sports in the UAE.
Ahmed bin Mohamed Al Hameeri, Chairman of the Board of Directors, praised the inclusion of the founding year in the club’s updated logo, emphasizing its significant role in promoting golf in the UAE. He noted that the country now boasts over 26 golf courses, with the number of golfers having doubled, and that the UAE has become a premier destination for global golf stars and hosts several international tournaments. He also mentioned the presence of four national teams representing the country at various age groups.
Shihab Al Sayed Al Hashimi, the club's CEO, expressed their commitment to fulfilling the leadership's vision to enhance the role of sports and continue offering a dynamic space for the Abu Dhabi community to enjoy golf.
Founded in 1977 as the Abu Dhabi Golf Club with a 9-hole sand course, the facility evolved over time, becoming an 18-hole course, then a 9-hole grass course in 1998, and finally transforming into the Abu Dhabi City Golf Club in 2010.
The club now offers world-class amenities, including a two-storey driving range, swimming pool, gym, tennis courts, racecourse, and various dining options.
On a national level, the Emirates Golf Federation, established in 1995, works closely with local clubs to expand the game’s reach, attract young talent, and help golfers qualify for national teams, enabling them to compete regionally and internationally.
Thanks to these efforts, golf has gained significant popularity, with over 80,000 spectators attending major tournaments across the UAE. The sport’s broad appeal is reflected in the diverse fanbase, with participants from various nationalities supporting global golf stars.
