Dear Members,
We are very saddened to inform of the passing of founder member John McGhee earlier this week. Attending the opening of Dreamland in October 2015, John then headed to work in Canada for a couple of years before returning to Baku and joining us again. As part of the Saturday morning crowd John was always first through the door for his regular routine of a coffee and a warm up at the range. Fond memories for those of us who traveled with him for the away trips in Qatar, his on course commentary and humor will be missed dearly by so many. Our thoughts are with his wife and daughter at this most difficult of times.
 
Phil Jones – General Manager 
ACCESS to Dreamland Golf Club will move to our NEW side entrance next to the Dreamland Shopping Mall. The map shows that as you exit the roundabout follow the road towards Sabis Sun International School – 950m on the right side you will see the GATE entrance to the Mall and Golf Club Car Park.
 
Safety Measures
We have the following safety measures in place at Dreamland, for Golf Members and Employees.

Good Luck!
The team wished Sohail and Sabine Siddiqi safe travels as they departed back to the USA after 4 years here in Baku.  Enjoying their golf at Dreamland they have featured on the winners podium several times, only fitting that they should enjoyed their last few games in Azerbaijan with superb playing conditions.  We look forward to hearing future golfing success at their home club in Houston. Best wishes from all the Team and Members!

Academy & Driving Range Access
As visitors may have seen the Facility Management team are currently installing the traffic barrier system within the Dreamland Community. This means that our previous temporary Dreamland Golf Entrance will become our NEW entry – with access from the perimeter road entering beside the shopping Mall. The Dreamland Main Arc access will now be accessible only for Dreamland Residents and their pre-authorized guests. 
 
With immediate effect access to the Golf Academy from the Clubhouse Car park will mean crossing the first Traffic Barrier control point. To do this smoothly we would ask that you display your Dreamland Golf Club Membership Sticker on your vehicle so that our security team can identify you as a member.  Upon approaching the barrier we would ask that you confirm your wish to go to the GOLF ACADEMY / DRIVING RANGE and access will be granted.
Saturday 29th of August 2020 – Super Saturday Roll Up Results
Excellent playing conditions were enjoyed on Saturday, with 30 members using this opportunity to participate in the weekly Saturday Roll Up. Tony Triggs had a good round and scored 3 under par 39 points to take the first place in this week’s Roll Up. Andrew Hulston took second place with 1 under par 37 points. Les Tulleth’s 2 over par 34 points were enough for him to take third place.
Last Saturday 3 players had 2s on their card – Iain Grant birdied the 5th, Craig Dunn birdied the 10th, and Sang Jun Park birdied the 13th hole. Well done to all great to see player numbers returning!
SUMMER ECLECTIC – In Association with TaylorMade
We are pleased to invite ALL members the chance to participate in our Summer Eclectic in Association with TaylorMade. FREE to enter each member will have the chance to complete ONE Eclectic of 10 rounds in a bid to record their best score at each hole.

An eclectic tournament is a 10 round golf tournament that produces one final 18-hole score per player. For each of the 10 rounds the system will amend your best score on a particular hole to show improvement towards your final Eclectic card. Example if on your 1st round you take 6 shots at the 1s t hole – your eclectic card with show Hole 1 – 6, if in a future round you score a Par 4 on the 1st hole – your eclectic card will be amended to show 4 (your best score so far in the 10 round competition).   Below are some additional bullet point rules:
  • Golfers will need to submit 10 scorecards during this period. 
  • Free to Enter
  • Each member has only one chance to complete a 10 round Eclectic Score.
  • Gents will play from WHITE TEES and Ladies from GREEN TEES.

75% of your CURRENT playing handicap   (at the date of the round) is used to calculate your Nett Eclectic score for that day.

Eclectic Score Cards must be picked up before play and returned after play to the competition box. If a score card is not turned in, player will loose that one round from their series – it will be shown as No Card (NC). Members playing the Saturday Roll Up still can use that score for their Eclectic tournament, all they need is to mention it while taking the scorecard and use same scorecard for both Roll Up and the Eclectic.
Prizes will be awarded as below:
Prizes will be awarded to the leading 3 players - Good Luck to All our Members!
