Golf Club of Lebanon is a country club and golf course located in Beirut, Lebanon. The club was originally opened in Khalde in 1923.[1] Today, the course occupies 420,000 square meters in one of the last green spaces in Beirut. The 18-hole course meets international standards and the club also includes facilities for swimming, tennis, football, squash, chess, and other activities.[2]
Due to the club's geopolitical position, it has come under threat throughout its history.[3][4] In 1982, the fairways of the course were bulldozed by the Israeli army during the siege of Beirut.[5] In 2023, it was reported that Hezbollah was looking to acquire the course's grounds.[6]
