Golf
 
Going to go to a driving range tonight.

But someone just suggested maybe doing a par3 9-hole course or something. Bit nervous becasue A; I'm shit and B; not touched clubs in a long while.

Anyone got any good recommendations for an easy 9-hole?

If you want to go the next step, most courses do a special for the summer months.. Cheap membership till Aug / Sept for instance..

Cheapest I know is Jebel Ali, 2500dhs approx, if I remember correctly. Nice little 9 hole course..

That's quite full on though, and not sure how much I will be playing. Need to find a decent 9 hole that I can play after work / quickly at a weekend, as well as somewhere that does reasonably priced lessons I think.

Thanks for your help.

Emirates is more of a par 3 (with "proper" par 3 holes - ie over 100 yards) with less water than the Montgomerie which is like a pitch n' put with lots of water.

Dubai Creek also have a par 3. Wrong end of town for you but worth a visit if you fancy a change.....
