Arial represents the cheap and cheerful end of the Almaty golfing market but that’s no bad thing considering the prices charged by the top-end courses. The Club has a par three, nine-hole course and a nine-hole, chip and putt course which are open May to October and a 24-bay undercover driving range which is open year-round. Green fees and entry to the club cost from around 2,300 KZT and hour-long lessons start at 4,300 KZT. The facilities are probably best suited to beginner and junior players (there’s even a maze to explore) or indeed those just wanting to hit a few practice balls. For refreshments post-game there’s a decent Georgian restaurant of the same name on-site, which also announces the entrance to the club on Al-Farabi.
