Golf is one of Dauphine’s flagship sports activities; and attracts a strong following for a variety of reasons

  • It is one of the world’s most widely practiced sport; the most widely practiced in Asia and the United States. 
  • Golf is also an wonderful “social” sport, ideal for making contacts, developing  business relationships, negotiating contracts in an informal setting...
  • It is also a sport that is practiced in perfect and often idyllic harmony with Nature.
  • And last but not least, it is a demanding sport that requires coordination, physical address and unflagging concentration. 

Students can practice  Golf at Dauphine as beginners, intermediate players and for credit.
