As one of more than 20 global affiliates contributing to the world’s No.1 golf media brand, Golf Digest Middle East is committed to delivering the most informative, thought-provoking and entertaining content to a passionate audience across the Middle East.

Our coverage is built on three central pillars – How to Play, What to Play and Where to Play. Now Golf Digest has a new owner in Discovery, Inc., the brand is forging ahead with plans to reach more golfers in more ways, and in greater depth, than ever before. This includes Discovery’s GOLFTV, a platform enhanced by Golf Digest’s renewed partnership with Tiger Woods.

At Golf Digest Middle East, the latest step to help readers regionally with the ‘Where to Play’ part of that tantalizing smorgasbord of content is with a new online green fee booking portal at golfdigestme.com. 

We’ve teamed up with Dubai software provider Back 9 Solutions to get you playing more golf at the best courses for less. It’s easy to use and simple to navigate. Simply follow the prompts on the home page of golfdigestme.com, create an account and you’re on your way to the most competitive green fee rates across the UAE.

Golf Digest Middle East publisher David Burke is thrilled to add the online booking portal to the title’s print and digital offerings. Golf Digest Middle East is published locally by Motivate Media Group.

“Our partnership with Back 9 Solutions highlights that we are looking to the future and building on Golf Digest Middle East’s reputation as the No.1 destination for every golf fan in the region,” Burke said. “This is the latest step to help our loyal audience get more from our great game in this amazing part of the golfing world. There’s more innovation to come too, so watch this space!”

Yas Links is among the clubs where great green fees are now available to readers on Golf Digest Middle East’s new online booking portal.

Back 9 Solutions is the brainchild of former European and Asian Tour player Ross Bain. The Scotsman, who has called Dubai home for 37 years, is excited about the partnership with Golf Digest Middle East and hinted at developments in the wind on the online booking system.

“Back 9’s goal is to connect golfers with the game they love. If I read an article about golf I may be enthused to book a game or a lesson with a local pro,” said Bain. “By adding a portal on the Golf Digest Middle East website, we have made this easier for golfers to do than it was before.”

Bain believes Back 9’s industry connections, coupled with its leading edge digital technology, will ensure that the Golf Digest Middle East online booking service outperforms rivals.

“Our USP is that once you have created a Back 9 account our smart technology will always recognise that user and find the best available rate on the digital platform we are powering,” Bain said.

“Unlike the majority of providers that only offer a visitor rate, our terms with the golf clubs allow us to facilitate as many rates as we can, from members to credit card offers from local banks. As we are integrated with the majority of our partner golf clubs, we have more tee times on our mobile and web applications. Combine this with a digital wallet in our products and once a golfer has uploaded a credit card, it is very convenient for them to book easily.”
