The Golf Club of Lebanon

The Golf Club Of Lebanon is a beautiful green oasis of sun soaked tranquility located adjacent to the Mediterranean Sea between Beirut’s Southern suburbs and its international Airport .

“The Club” as it is known to its members, was established in 1923 To provide a venue for sport, recreation, entertainment and social enjoyment to members, guests and visitors alike who are looking for a comfortable place to escape the congestion and noise of the bustling capital city.

The Club features an 18-hole championship quality golf course, the most modern and fully equipped Tennis Centre in Lebanon, an Aquatic centre with 33-meter Six-lane swimming pool, diving tank and a junior pool for young children.

There are outdoor basketball courts, a children’s playground and a lovely family picnic and sun-tanning garden adjacent to the swimming pool.
For indoor activities, the Central Club Building houses Squash court, a billiard and snooker room, a recreational table games rooms, an old English style Pub and the club’s administrative offices .

To serve patrons dining needs, the Club’s main dining Restaurant is located in the Aquatic Centre and there are additional food preparation and banquet facilities in the Golf Pavilion and the Central Club Building.
