We are proud to officially announce the nominations for the 59club MEA Service Excellence Awards 2026, recognising the outstanding individuals, teams, and venues that continue to raise the bar for service excellence across the Middle East & Africa.
Each year, these awards shine a spotlight on those who consistently deliver exceptional experiences, demonstrating innovation, professionalism, and a deep commitment to their members and guests. The calibre of this year’s nominations is a true reflection of the strength and quality of the region.
At its core, 59club exists to support, measure, and elevate service excellence across the golf and leisure industry. Through independent benchmarking, detailed performance analysis, and a commitment to continuous improvement, we work alongside our partner venues to help them achieve and sustain world class standards.
The MEA region continues to stand at the forefront of service excellence globally. Despite the challenges posed by ongoing regional conflict, the resilience and unity shown by golf clubs across the Middle East has been truly inspiring. Facilities have remained focused, teams have demonstrated exceptional professionalism, and communities have come together in support of one another.
This spirit of strength, adaptability, and collaboration is evident in this year’s nominations.
The 59club MEA Service Excellence Awards recognise those who go above and beyond, whether through outstanding leadership, exceptional customer service, or operational excellence.
We are delighted to celebrate this year’s nominees, whose dedication and passion continue to shape and elevate the industry across the region.
Award winners will be officially announced on our social media channels and website on 17th April 2026, with all award winners and venues presented their accolades and flags at their Club in our Service Excellence Roadshow taking place from 11th May 2026.
