Malta's Mediterranean climate makes it ideal for golfing breaks all year. Whether incorporating it into a holiday or just a weekend away, it is not to be missed. |
Golfing has always been a popular sport, played all over the world. It is enjoyed by people from all walks of life and as well as being a sport, it is a very social game. There are golf courses across the globe which makes for fine travelling, a chance to explore a new place and come away with some good stories of competitions as well as new found friends. Golfing in Malta can be incorporated into a holiday or just a weekend away.
Playing golf involves concentration and skill so after a day on the green what better way to relax then perhaps a short drive to a beach for a refreshing swim or even a tasty meal of fresh fish and wine. This is all on offer in Malta, so why not look into including a game or two of golf during your stay here.
The Royal Malta Golf Club is situated adjacent to the Marsa Sports Club. It is located not far from the airport and is a private members club run by an honorary committee and staff.
These grounds have been the home of golfing in Malta, since the early 1900's and are open to visitors. It is one of the oldest Clubs outside of the UK. The greens have been replanted with "TiffEagle" grass which provides slick greens all year round.
A driving range and practice putting green are provided for those golfers who prefer to gain a little more experience prior to stepping out onto the course. If you are interested in either topping up on your golfing skills or merely squeezing in a lesson or two during your stay, the club provides lessons and courses for those interested.
The course is made up of par 68, which provides the enthusiastic golfer with a challenge whilst not creating too difficult a course for the novice. It is an 18 hole course consisting of 5020 metres with a parkland/flat terrain.
The facilities include a pro shop where it is possible to hire your equipment, changing rooms and a bar and restaurant that offer the choice of either a quick snack or a long lunch to mull over your game. The club maintains a strict dress code, and they kindly ask that all patrons follow the club rules.
Green Fees at the Royal Malta Golf Club start at 31 euros to play 9 holes and 50 euros to play 18 holes. Block tickets for 3 and 5 rounds are also available. Junior golfers get a half-price discount.
Proper golf attire is compulsory such as polo shirt, tailored trousers or shorts, and socks. Only soft spikes allowed (no metal). Please produce your Handicap Certificate if available as this will facilitate booking.
