Dhaka diplomatic spring open golf starts on Saturday

A new tradition in Bangladesh's sports diplomacy calendar is set to begin as the 1st Annual Dhaka Diplomatic Spring Open Golf 2025 kicks off this Saturday, April 26, at the Jolshiri Golf Club in Purbachal.
Organised by Gameplay and Corporate Tour, initiatives of GolfHouse Holdings Ltd., this exclusive tournament aims to foster goodwill and international camaraderie by bringing together diplomats, expatriates, and business leaders through the shared love of golf.
Trust Bank PLC is the event's main sponsor, with generous support from Intercontinental Dhaka, Turkish Airlines, Brothers Furniture, Aster Pharmacy, and Nexus Coffee Place. Bruvana Sports+ is the Hydration Partner, while AirAstra is the official Travel Partner. GolfHouse Magazine, Jamuna Television, Daily Business Standard, Daily Kalbela, and TBS Graduates will provide media coverage.
The tournament will be played in the Best Ball Scramble format. To ensure inclusivity, the event will also feature putting and swing contests for non-golfers, a golf learning clinic, and interactive photo and networking zones, creating a welcoming environment for participants of all levels.
Organisers hope the event will be more than just a competitive outing. It will allow diplomatic communities to connect, newcomers to explore the game, and enjoy a day of sport and camaraderie.
The newly launched Jolshiri Golf Club, a 9-hole course between Purbachal Expressway and Madani Avenue, offers a premium golfing experience in a peaceful setting. As one of the capital's newest golfing venues, it is fast becoming a preferred destination for high-profile events.
With a focus on engagement, wellness, and cross-cultural exchange, the Dhaka Diplomatic Spring Open is poised to become a signature fixture in Dhaka's social and sporting calendar, where fairways meet diplomacy.
