Qatar runs a compact two club scene in Doha, anchored by Education City Golf Club and Doha Golf Club. Here is how the 2026 stay and play packages work, where the value sits and how to time a winter trip.

How Qatar packages work
Qatar is a short, concentrated golf destination rather than a sprawling one, and that shapes how the deals work. Almost every trip is built around two venues in and near Doha, so packages tend to pair a city or beachfront hotel with rounds at both clubs and airport transfers, sold as a short winter break rather than a week long tour. The compact map is the appeal here, with both courses inside a short drive of the city.
Below is how the main package shapes break down for 2026, where the genuine value sits across the cool season, and how to fit both marquee courses into a short trip. Every figure is a planning guide rather than a quote, since rates move with season and availability, and you should always confirm directly before booking.
Qatar golf deals, 2026 at a glance
| Deal type | Typically includes | Indicative 2026 note |
|---|---|---|
| Doha stay and play | City or beachfront hotel plus rounds at Education City and Doha Golf Club, with transfers | The core product; best paired with a winter stopover or longer Doha stay |
| Education City green fees | Olazabal designed 18 hole championship round; six hole championship and floodlit par three options | Indicative 2025 fees ran around QAR 650 for the 18 hole course; floodlit evening play is a draw |
| Doha Golf Club round | Peter Harradine desert style championship course plus a nine hole academy layout | A natural, barren desert test; book as the second marquee round of the trip |
| Stopover add on | A round or two bolted onto a Doha layover en route to Asia or Australia | Qatar Airways hub timing makes a short golf stopover easy to slot in |
The deals worth watching
Education City Golf Club
Education City is the headline venue, a 33 hole complex designed by two time major winner Jose Maria Olazabal that pairs an 18 hole championship course with a six hole championship loop and a floodlit nine hole par three. Indicative 2025 green fees ran to around QAR 650 for the championship course, with the shorter loops a good deal cheaper. The floodlit options make evening golf genuinely viable in the heat, which is a useful lever when you are building a trip around Doha's daytime commitments.
Doha Golf Club
Doha Golf Club, designed by Peter Harradine and open since 1998, is the other half of almost every package. It is a true desert style championship course with a natural, barren setting, backed by a nine hole academy layout for a lighter round. Treated as the second marquee round of a short trip, it complements Education City rather than competing with it, and the two together carry a Doha golf break comfortably.
Winter timing and stopovers
The value in Qatar is as much about when as about discount. The cool season from roughly November to March is the window for comfortable daytime golf, and that is when packages and hotels are worth booking ahead. For many visitors the smart play is a short golf stopover on a Qatar Airways routing, bolting a round or two onto a Doha layover rather than building a standalone week.
Our take
Qatar is a two course destination played best as a short winter break or a stopover, not a week long tour, and the trips that work lean into that. Build around Education City and Doha Golf Club, use the cool season for comfortable daytime golf and the floodlit options at Education City for evening rounds, and you have a tidy, high quality couple of days of golf.
Our advice is to book the cool season dates early and treat both clubs as marquee rounds rather than filler. Our Qatar golf hub and the best golf courses in Qatar list lay out the options, and our team can assemble the hotel, both tee times and transfers, costed to the head, before you commit.

Qatar golf deals, your questions
What golf courses can I play in Qatar in 2026?
The two main venues are Education City Golf Club and Doha Golf Club, both in and near Doha. Education City is a 33 hole complex designed by Jose Maria Olazabal with an 18 hole championship course, a six hole championship loop and a floodlit par three. Doha Golf Club, designed by Peter Harradine and open since 1998, is a desert style championship course with a nine hole academy. Most packages pair rounds at both.
When is the best time to play golf in Qatar?
The cool season from roughly November to March is the comfortable window for daytime golf, and it is when packages and hotels are worth booking ahead. High summer is very hot, so play then is best limited to early morning or the floodlit evening options at Education City. For the best balance of weather and value, target the winter months and book early.
How much are green fees in Qatar?
Green fees vary by course, season and time of day. Education City Golf Club's 18 hole championship course ran around QAR 650 on indicative 2025 rates, with its shorter loops cheaper, and Doha Golf Club prices its championship and academy rounds separately. Rates change through the year, so treat these as planning guides and always confirm directly before booking.
