The International Founding Board of Governors, which will comprise global leaders and prominent personalities interested in the historic golf project, will be formed as an exciting precursor to a worldwide membership invitation programme.

Golfers from around the world will also be carefully selected, invited and enrolled on a limited basis in order to closely monitor the worldwide demand for the Al Ruwaya Golf Club, the world's first design created by Tiger Woods Design. The phased membership releases will also enable the club to gauge regional demand and assure equitable enrolment patterns.

The 13m sq feet Al Ruwaya golf course has already announced it will offer only 200 memberships, with residents of the community being given top priority.

Abdulla Al Gurg, Project Director, The Tiger Woods Dubai, said:

As the first golf club design created by Tiger Woods Design, the Al Ruwaya Golf Club has already earned global recognition and widespread demand for membership. The limited memberships will provide golfers with exceptional privileges and a unique experience."


"Across all its diverse elements, The Tiger Woods Dubai will reflect stringent quality standards and epitomise its promise as one of the greatly regarded and highly sought after golfing destinations worldwide." he added.
