— Circolo · 04 · Coming soon

Golf

Eighteen holes, slow conversation,
and a long lunch afterwards.

Launching in our second season.

Golf is the format we hold for the moment Circolo has the density to do it justice. A quarterly outing on one of the GCC's finest courses — Emirates Golf Club, Jumeirah Golf Estates, Yas Links — followed by a long, unhurried lunch.

It is the slowest of our formats, and the deepest. Six hours with the same three members teaches you more about each of them than six dinners. We will launch Circolo · Golf once we have at least forty members who play, to ensure the field is full, the pairings work, and the day feels right.

If you are a golfer and would like to be among the first to be invited, mention this in your application. You will be added to the founding flight.

01 · Frequency

Quarterly outings

Four times a year, on weekends. Full day commitment.

02 · Format

Stableford, mixed flights

Handicaps balanced across flights. Modest prizes for winners. Real prize is the lunch.

03 · Conditions

Best of the GCC

Through the summer we shift to early morning tee times, and once a year we travel to Yas Links Abu Dhabi or Al Hamra in Ras Al Khaimah for cooler conditions.

04 · Cost

At cost, transparently

Green fees split among players. The club does not mark up. Estimated 800 to 1,400 AED per outing.

05 · Level

Any handicap

From scratch to occasional. Pace is set so no one feels out of place.

06 · Lunch

Long, Italian, unhurried

The point of the day. Multi-course, with wine, on the terrace.

The GCC's finest courses.

We rotate the calendar among Dubai's premier clubs, with one or two longer trips per year to Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaimah.
