In the 2010/11 season Sharjah Golf & Shooting Club launched a truly innovative and unique concept, the first UAE Golf Society League. The event pooled 24 UAE Golf Societies into 4 separate leagues. Each league played 1 fixture a month from January until May 4 Societies then qualified for the semi final and the final that were held throughout June. The success of the event resulted in year the number of teams qualifying to the quarter finals from each league being increased to 2. This also meant that the league ran for longer from October, culminating in the final, the third and fourth place play off and the Captains and Sponsors day on April.
