Do they know you're new, new, new money old chap? Apparently you're only allowed to play if you're new, or at the very least new, new, money.

Good track, plenty to keep you interested and the greens were superb when I played it a couple of months back, member I played with said that was pretty average. I just landed here this morning actually but did not bring my sticks.

Nah - its fine - not too snobby at all.

I've only played there twice, both corporate days.

First was crap as I was in a group with people that had barelt played.

The second time was excellent - it was a week after the Classic so the course was in stunning condition - however, the greens were crazy. Just look at the ball and it would roll 10 metres!

The Majlis is still the best course out here I think, although Earth @JGE is quite good, played that on Boxing Day.

Wadi course is ste in comparison imho.

Great set up at Emirates overall, tis where i learnt to play from when it opened *misty eyes*, its not overly snobby but they cant get a bit tense about you sitting inside the bar if you don't shower after a round.

Playing Saadiyat on Saturday, interested to see if that lives up to the hype.

Cool. We're playing the Majlis, hopefully. I was unable to confirm the booking as I don't have a scanner, so thought I'd pop in and book it in person. She didn't to take any detials, so I thought that was that.
I then get an email today saying my booking wasn't confirmed, and wouldn't be untill I scanned and faxed the documents over banghead
