About AGC
Bapco’s oil workers first played golf in the vicinity of the camp at the Jebel (as recorded in the Political Agency report for 1933, issued 3rd March 1934). As oil production and refining increased, a permanent camp at Awali was built. At its initial design, a nine-hole golf course was included. This was in use from early 1934 to late 1936. Increasing staff numbers necessitated the building of accomodation on the course, which closed late 1936. Following its official opening on 4th January 1937, play commenced at the site of our current course, and we regard 4/1/1937 as our establishment date.
Bapco golfers originally played golf as the “Golf Section” of The Bapco Club. This Section became the “Awali Golf Club” with the issue of the Club’s original Constitution at the beginning of the 1957/58 season. Bapco has been the Club’s major sponsor for more than 80 years: without their generosity, the Club would not exist. See the website’s “History – Club” for further details.
