CREEK HACK GOLF SOCIETY - ORIGINS
The Creek Hack Golf Society was founded by Kevin Dunleavey back in the nineties. Games were originally held midweek evenings in the floodlit Nad Al Sheeba course. The first golfers in the Creek Hack were members of the Creek Hash House Harriers which is still going strong in Dubai. There are several Hashes in the Emirates, maybe five in Dubai alone, and loads of Hashes all over the world. When Kevin started the Hack it was known as the Creek Hack House Harriers, later shortened to just The Creek Hack from which he derived the current logo..
So I suppose you could say the Creek Hack is an offshoot of The Creek Hash. Now The Creek Hack is attached to the beautiful nine-hole Jebel Ali Golf Club in Dubai, UAE.
