SAR for your first introductory session

Some people wait for the game to come to them. Others pick up a club.

First Swing is the national participation programme: free first sessions, a clear path from range to course, and a platform that remembers every swing.

Built for beginners.

From your first free session on a driving range to your first nine holes on a real course, First Swing lays out the whole journey. Coaches, equipment and tee times are all included in the programme, so the only thing you bring is curiosity.

Ready for competition

When you are ready, Swing+ turns your rounds into a handicap and your handicap into entries: club opens, city qualifiers and the national amateur series. Every score you post counts, and every event is a tap away.

Built by the federation. Driven by players.

Swing+ did not start as an app. It began with the question of what it would take for anyone in the Kingdom to walk onto a course for the first time and feel they belonged there. The National Golf ID is the answer: one identity that carries your lessons, your rounds, your handicap and your entries between every club, academy and event, in Arabic and English, with the same privacy standard everywhere. The platform is the quiet part. The game is the point.
