About the Association

Built by people who love the game.

Established 24 July 2024 and registered with the Ministry of Sports, Fitness and Recreation, the MGA exists to grow golf in the Maldives — from first swings to international fields.

What we do

Tournaments, training, and a course of our own.

The Association organises competition — above all the annual Maldives Open — and runs training across skill levels, working with international golf bodies as the game grows here.

The long-term goals are concrete: develop the country's first 18-hole championship course, and establish the Maldives as a competitive golfing destination in its own right.
