The Defence Club, FF Sector, Phase 4
It began in 2003 as a community centre running on its own, and was folded into the Defence Clubs in 2008 — which is why DHA's own page gives two different starting years.

The fees, and how much to trust them
These come from DHA's own membership brochure for this club — the only DHA club document we have found that states a fee at all. The brochure also sets out who the membership covers: sons until they turn twenty-one, and daughters until they marry.
But be careful with them. The brochure carries no date. DHA's live clubs page publishes no fee at all for this or any other club and gives only a general membership number. So these figures are real, but they may be old — confirm before you plan around them.
| Category | Fee |
|---|---|
| Resident of DHA | Rs 250,000 |
| Non-resident | Rs 350,000 |
| Corporate | Rs 700,000 |
| Senior citizen, 65 and over | Half of the related category |
| Monthly subscription | Rs 3,300 |
The brochure has its own categories for residents and non-residents, so this club is open to people who do not live in DHA — at a higher fee. That is worth knowing, because it is not true of everything DHA runs.
What is inside
- Gym — separate for men and ladies
- Squash courts
- Lawn tennis — two synthetic courts
- Chinese and Italian restaurants, a coffee shop and a BBQ lawn
- A library, lobbies and community halls
DHA's page for this club says in its text that there is a swimming pool and a jogging track — but its own itemised facility list on the same page does not include either, and neither does the membership brochure. We are not claiming a pool here. Ask before you join for that reason.
The halls — small on purpose
The largest room here holds sixty. This is a dinner and small-function club, not a wedding venue — and it is worth being plain about that before somebody books it for a mehndi. DHA's own answer for a large function is the Phase 5 event halls, five hundred to a hall.
| Hall | Capacity |
|---|---|
| Pearl Hall | 50 to 60 persons |
| Emerald Hall | 35 to 40 persons |
| Crystal Hall | 30 to 35 persons |
| Executive Lounge, first floor | 60 persons |
| Sitting Lounge, ground floor | 40 to 50 persons |
Do not borrow this club's reviews from elsewhere
Search this club and you will meet a rating of 4.3 stars from over four thousand reviews, along with talk of Moroccan restaurants, swimming pools and golf views. All of that belongs to the Defence Club J Sector in Phase 1 — a different club, five times the size. This club's own listing carries no reviews at all.
DHA Lahore's clubs, side by side
| Club | Phase | Land | Since |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Defence Club, J Sector | Phase 1 | 74 kanal | 1992 |
| The Defence Club, R Sector | Phase 2 | 19.25 kanal | 1995 |
| The Defence Club, FF Sector | Phase 4 | 13.75 kanal | 2008 |
| Defence Lemniscate Club | Phase 8 | 24 kanal | 7 Nov 2021 |
| Defence Revelation Club | Phase 6 | 171 kanal | under construction |
Read that last row again. The club DHA is building in Phase 6 is larger than all four existing clubs put together, and more than twice the size of the biggest one it has.
Common questions
DHA's own brochure for this club gives Rs 250,000 for a DHA resident, Rs 350,000 for a non-resident and Rs 700,000 corporate, with a monthly subscription of Rs 3,300 and half rates for senior citizens. The brochure carries no date, so confirm on 042-35743450 before relying on it.
Its largest room holds sixty people, so no. For a large function DHA's own venue is the Phase 5 event halls, which hold five hundred each.
Yes. DHA's brochure for this club has a separate non-resident category at Rs 350,000, against Rs 250,000 for a resident.
