Golf Courses in Dubai

Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club
Situated in the heart of the city on the shores of the creek, Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club has recently undergone a major redevelopment, transforming it into a true golfers’ paradise. The club’s 18-hole, par 71 course rolls 6,857 undulating yards along well-groomed fairways lined with date and coconut palms, attractive water hazards and shrubbery that lend a distinctly tropical air. The course boasts a new front nine, re-designed by Thomas Björn, providing an even greater challenge for residents and tourists alike. There is also a new nine-hole Par 3 course, a hi-tech studio, a floodlit driving range, and extensive short game practice facilities. The championship standard golf course is the centrepiece of a resort that now incorporates the luxury 225-bedroom Park Hyatt Dubai, 92 four-bedroom executive villas, a 121-berth marina, yacht club, golf clubhouse, restaurants, gym and leisure swimming pool.

The Al Badia Golf Resort
Just two miles from Dubai International Airport, the Al Badia Golf Resort has eleven lakes of varying sizes and several smaller streams, all feeding water down to Dubai Creek. 'Rivers of Sand' have also being created to cast contrasting shadows, which fall across the course as the sunsets.

Emirates Golf Club
Venue of the PGA-sanctioned European Tour event, the Dubai Desert Classic. The signature clubhouse at the Emirates Golf Club – modeled like Bedouin tents – remains the most eye-catching in the region, while the original 7,185 yard, par-72 Majlis course has been complemented for the past eight years by a second par-72 challenge, the 7,100-yard Wadi course. Both combine the natural rolling desert terrain for a serious test of golf.

Abu Dhabi Golf Club
Abu Dhabi Golf Club features two 18 hole courses; the National Course and the Garden Course which were designed by Peter Harradine. Both courses are par 72 with lush fairways, strategically placed bunkers and generous greens to challenge golfers whatever their handicap. The two courses occupy 162 hectares and feature undulating terrain meandering through pockets of palms and ornamental trees, shrubs and seven salt water lakes.
