Become A Member
Membership of the Awali Golf Club is at the sole discretion of the Awali Golf Club Committee.
As we are a golf club, we require all membership applications to be made by a person who does actually play golf, in a reasonably serious way. However, golf competence and potential for brilliance are not relevant to your application. If applying for family membership, a partner does not need to have any particular interest in golf. A parent need not be a player if applying on behalf of a child.
The good news is currently, the club does not have a waiting list for you to become a Guest member

If you are an employee of a company wishing to fast-track your membership application, then offering to provide sponsorship to the Club is a good start. Please leave your contact details at the Clubhouse, asking the Captain to contact you.
Supporting the Club
Finally, as a member, you are expected to contribute to the Club’s success in a pro-active way. This means going beyond just paying your fees. Those who volunteer many, many hours of their time, enabling you to enjoy the Club, are more likely to continue to do so if you are not seen as a free-loader (especially a whingeing free-loader).

Course Etiquette
AGC Dress Code – Course & Clubhouse
For play on the course, you must wear flat-soled shoes, as our greens (made of a sand/oil mix) are damaged by footwear with a tread that exceeds 2mm – so that means no golf-shoes with plastic spikes, jogging trainers etc. The full dress code is here, which visitors and members must comply with. The dress code applies both to the course and the Clubhouse. Part of the Clubhouse dress code is “No hats” – you are expected to buy a round of drinks for everyone present if you break this rule. Cheers!
All players are expected not to distract other players, so be aware of those around you. A shriek from a person sinking a 30-foot putt can easily ruin the tee-shot of a player on a nearby teeing ground.
Course
Bunkers – As a player, YOU are responsible to rake any mark that you, your ball or your equipment makes in a bunker. Use the rake provided.
Pace of Play – Whilst playing, you may be on the course at the same time as more experienced players. You should have a good pace of play and allow a faster group to play-through if they indicate a desire to do so. We expect a 3-ball group to complete 18 holes in no more than 4 hours.
Browns
Our greens (that is, “browns”) are routinely re-laid each week. This means that each week on one morning the front nine will not be available, and similarly the back nine the next day. You may choose to contact the Clubhouse (1775-6770) to enquire about any such hole-closures prior to your arrival to play 18-holes.
Weather
Being a desert course with greens of oiled sand, we are especially at the mercy of the elements – rain. Heavy rain causes the sand of the greens to stick to the ball, making putting near impossible. If there has been rain recently, it is a good idea to call the Clubhouse before your arrival, to check on the state of the course.
Medical Emergency on the Course
If you consider the emergency requires an ambulance:
Call 999 and then also call the Clubhouse on 1775-6700. Advise the Clubhouse staff of your location and emergency and that you have called an ambulance. Request that one staff wait in the car park for the ambulance’s arrival, to direct the ambulance to your location on the course.
If you consider the emergency does not require an ambulance:
Call the Clubhouse on 1775-6700. describing your location and emergency. The staff will dispatch a Club vehicle as soon as possible.
