Emirates Majlis

Par: 72 Length: 7185 yards Course designer: Karl Litten Venue: European Tour – Dubai Desert Classic

The Desert Miracle was the name given to Emirates Golf Club when it became the first all-grass championship golf course in the Gulf region, way back in 1988. At Emirates Majlis lush, rolling fairways lead to large fast greens with the surrounding desert meaning you’ll have plenty of chances to practise your sand play. Water comes into play on many holes including the testing par-three 7th, with its long carry, and the thrilling par-five 18th, where the approach comes in across a lake to a long, thin green in the shape of a bow tie. Emirates Majlis is host to the Dubai Desert Classic whose former winners include Tiger Woods. The design of the clubhouse reflects a Bedouin tented village with seven gleaming white concrete and glass structures, complemented by the off-course areas where desert flora and fauna flourish.

Jumeirah - Earth Course

Par: 72 Length: 7675 yards Course designer: Greg Norman

Jumeirah Golf Estates is home to Dubai’s most desirable residences and golf’s most prestigious destination. With World-Class Championship Courses and luxurious homes, Jumeirah Golf Estates sets a new standard in residential golf developments. Jumeirah Golf Estates has brought together four legends of the game of golf Greg Norman (Earth, Fire & Wind), Vijay Singh (Water), Pete Dye (Wind) and Sergio Garcia (Wind). Their unmatched understanding of what makes an exceptional sporting venue has enabled them to design four incomparable golf experiences in Dubai. The Earth course was the host of the inaugural Dubai World Championship in 2009 (Race to Dubai). The Earth Course was inspired by the great parklands of Europe and North America. The course has an open layout with wide fairways and large sloping greens. The Signature Hole is the Par 5 18th with a rock lined stream positioned up the middle of the fairway leading to a dramatic final green.

Dubai Creek

Par: 71 Length: 6857 yards Course designer: Thomas Bjorn Venue: European Tour – Dubai Desert Classic

Dubai Creek is a memorable journey from the first tee to the 18th green with superbly manicured, undulating fairways fringed with water and dotted with date and palm trees. Multiple tees ensure golfers of all calibres enjoy the course. While length of the tee helps, the premium is certainly on accuracy, especially with the approach shots as most of the greens are multi-tiered with subtle borrows. Dubai Creek’s 18th in particular requires intelligent play on every shot. There is water on the left and a long bunker on the right, beyond which is water again. A good drive will still leave you with a long iron into the tiered and sloping green, guarded by more water. Dubai Creek also features a par-three course, a driving range and practice facilities, all of which are all floodlit to allow play late into the night.

Jumeirah - Fire Course

Par: 72 Length: 7433 yards Course designer: Greg Norman

Jumeirah Golf Estates is home to Dubai’s most desirable residences and golf’s most prestigious destination. With World-Class Championship Courses and luxurious homes, Jumeirah Golf Estates sets a new standard in residential golf developments. Jumeirah Golf Estates has brought together four legends of the game of golf Greg Norman (Earth, Fire & Wind), Vijay Singh (Water), Pete Dye (Wind) and Sergio Garcia (Wind). Their unmatched understanding of what makes an exceptional sporting venue has enabled them to design four incomparable golf experiences in Dubai. The Fire Course is surrounded by the desert and has a sense of classic links style. The course has undulating fairways and sloping greens that are well protected by challenging bunkers.

Emirates Faldo

Par: 72 Length: 7263 yards Course designer: Nick Faldo

The Faldo Course at Emirates Golf Club was redesigned by multiple major champion Nick Faldo in 2006 to offer a true test of golf to the best players. One of the main themes of Faldo’s design is dramatic bunkering. Another unique design aspect is the “wadi” (from the Arabic word valley) that stretches the length of the course, adding extra character. Indigenous Gaff trees are dotted alongside the fairways - and in some cases on the fairways! Although the course is long and requires powerful play, there are also great rewards for those who think their way around, in true Faldo style!

Dubai Hills Golf

Par: 72 Length: 7220 yards Course designer: European Golf Design

Dubai Hills Golf is a new championship golf course and centrepiece of a prestigious lifestyle community set in the heart of Dubai. As well as the golf course the development plan includes a variety of residential villas, high-end shopping, fine dining, world-class hotels, and health and educational facilities. The Course Carved out of the sandy desert Dubai Hills was designed with playability in mind and features wide contoured fairways and large undulating greens. The course design utilises the numerous valleys and lakes that were created along with bold bunkering to add a degree of challenge and drama.
