Al Zorah Golf Club and The Oberoi Beach Resort, Al Zorah, in the UAE are offering golfers the opportunity to experience a luxury getaway this winter after releasing an exclusive “stay and play” golf package. Guests can take advantage of world-class golf – and a stunning climate – with an array of five-star benefits over the coming months at one of the UAE’s most spectacular destinations, which is situated just 30 minutes from Dubai International Airport in the heart of Al Zorah City.
The Troon-managed Al Zorah Golf Club opened for play in 2015 and is already regarded as one of the best courses in the Middle East. Designed by legendary 18-time major champion Jack Nicklaus, the course meanders around a natural mangrove landscape and two spectacular lakes. With a driving range and extensive practice facilities, it is the perfect venue for golfers of all skill levels to enjoy the game. Al Zorah Golf Club is consistently ranked in the Golf Digest top 10 courses in the Middle East and was shortlisted for “World’s Best Eco-Friendly Golf Facility” at this year’s World Golf Awards.
Al Zorah City is also home to Ajman’s most exclusive hotel, The Oberoi Beach Resort, Al Zorah. The hotel was named as the Middle East’s “Leading Luxury Beach Resort” at the World Travel Awards in 2022, and sitting adjacent to Al Zorah Golf Club, it provides everything the discerning golfer could want.
Available to book until 31 March 2024, the stay and play package features daily golf on Al Zorah Golf Club’s 18-hole championship course, full use of the practice facilities prior to play as well and a shared golf cart from the venue’s new fleet of Club Car Tempo buggies, complete with GPSI technology. A set of Callaway rental clubs and golf course transfers are also included while, to further underline the venue’s commitment to sustainability, players have the opportunity to plant a mangrove and leave their own positive stamp on the resort.
Away from the fairways, guests can enjoy daily breakfast at the Vinesse restaurant in The Oberoi Beach Resort and savings of 15% on food and beverage (excluding tobacco items). For non-golfers, an alternative awaits in the form of luxurious spa treatments. The hotel features a wide choice of modern and elegant rooms, suites and villas – all with a private terrace – while players can relax and unwind after golf by the hotel’s 85m pool, in The Oberoi Spa or at one of the many bars and restaurants available. In addition to golf, a number of activities are also available including falconry and kayaking in the mangroves, a unique ecosystem that is home to more than 65 species of birds.
“Al Zorah City continues to grow and attract a range of different customers, including golfers, luxury travellers and corporate clients looking for retreat packages,” said Phil Henderson, Al Zorah’s Golf Club general manager. “We are regarded as one of the UAE’s up-and-coming golf venues and are excited to be able to share this wonderful destination with more and more people. This package is sure to appeal to golfers, but off course, and around Al Zorah City, there are many attractions and sites to enjoy here that we cannot wait for our guests to explore.”
