we like it for weekends. Don't find it snobby at all but very European and could be a bit to Family based if you don't have kids
The Golf seems ok but i haven't played yet waiting for better weather

sounds posh, but then we had a spice girl who called herself "Posh"

I have only ever heard good things about the country club, but I cannot for the life of me understand why.
golf? sand
tennis? OK but not for me
pool? rectangle, ~20m long
shabby? Yes
Apart from that, the bar and the whole place in general has no atmosphere at all. Unless you are a rock spider, or a local, you have no reason to go to the bar.
Basically it is in deperate need of a re-development.
It was meant to be redeveloped in exchange for some land, but this seems to have fallen through and the rumour is that they are in severe financial trouble.

What with all the new developments such as Arabian Ranches, Springs/Meadows with their respective Golf clubs, the old Country Club is probably more or less surplus to requirements.
Interesting opposing points of view regarding the place :lol:

I was at the Country Club. Not impressed a bit!
