IMG announce that Education City Golf Club has joined the IMG Prestige global network of world-class clubs and resorts.
Education City Golf Club is a landmark project for Qatar and the world of golf. Designed by José María Olazábal, it comprises three golf courses including an 18-hole championship course, a 6-hole floodlit championship course and a 9-hole floodlit par 3 course. The 18-hole course is immaculately groomed & conditioned and received widespread acclaim from players and media alike during the recent Commercial Bank Qatar Masters, a European Tour event.
In line with its commitment to developing the game in the country, the Club also features state-of-the-art learning and practice facilities, including a Power Tee and TrackMan equipped driving range and luxurious performance studios featuring the latest swing and custom-fit technology.

The Club is already recognised as one of the finest in the EMEA region, reinforced by its recent nomination for World’s Best New Golf Course in 2020 by the World Golf Awards. They have been doing a fantastic job in developing the game of golf in Qatar and we hope that IMG Prestige members enjoy the superb facilities as soon as international travel is allowed.”
