Land of Fire

Yet the National Azerbaijan Golf Club in Guba, situated by the Caspian Sea, South of Russia, bravely aims to put the nation firmly on the world golf map in hosting the EUR300,000 Azerbaijan Open Challenge.

It may be the country’s first golf course, but The National Azerbaijan Golf Club has been created to the most exacting standards and represents an audacious and ambitious foray into the sport for an emerging golfing nation.

The facility is managed by Troon Golf, the leader in upscale golf course management, development and marketing, who strengthened its national portfolio in 2012 by adding The National Azerbaijan Golf Club to its extensive worldwide list of managed properties.

In conjunction with the Azerbaijan Golf Federation the golf club’s major incentive is to develop junior golf both locally and nationally throughout Azerbaijan.
