The awards were given in recognition of Ayla’s dedication to sustainable growth, which is embedded in the vision, mission, and operations of Ayla Golf Club.

Sahl Dudin, Managing Director of Ayla Oasis Development Company, expressed his pride in the achievement, stating, “We are delighted to receive these global awards, which recognize Ayla’s continuous efforts towards meeting the highest social and environmental standards.

Ayla Golf Club is Jordan’s first championship golf course, featuring 18 holes and a golf academy with a 9-hole course designed by the legendary Greg Norman. His design exemplifies Ayla’s commitment to sustainability, spanning 800,000 square meters of undulating fairways, lakes, and strategically placed holes, integrating the natural landscape seamlessly.

From the start, Ayla Golf Club was designed with sustainability at its core, considering Jordan’s unique environmental features. The course includes artificial lakes and valleys that serve as groundwater reservoirs for irrigation, seamlessly integrated into the course’s layout. These water bodies also provide a crucial resting spot for migratory birds, enhancing the local ecosystem. During its development, the club’s construction was led by Elite Oppenheim, a renowned architectural firm known for prioritizing social and environmental considerations.

The club’s infrastructure incorporates green energy technologies, including a 9 MW solar power plant, and water conservation practices to maximize efficiency. It uses 3,000 cubic meters of treated water daily for irrigation, preserving natural resources and adhering to strict environmental standards. The club also employs energy-saving lighting systems to reduce water and electricity usage across its facilities.

Strategically located, Ayla Golf Club serves as a key stop for migratory birds traveling between Africa, Asia, and Europe. It plays a pivotal role in the Ayla Feather Trail, a unique bird-watching path outside protected areas, showcasing a variety of bird species in their natural habitat.
