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.

Dubai Hills Golf

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

The course design utilises the numerous valleys and lakes that were created along with bold bunkering to add a degree of challenge and drama.

The Els Club

Par: 72 Length: 7538 yards Course designer: Ernie Els

The Els Course is traditional (desert) links style design, set on undulating slopes of native desert vegetation. Teasing doglegs and cavernous pot bunkers combined with a surprising amount of wind mean the course is a real challenge at 7,538 yards. However, there are four sets of tees to make the course playable for golfers of all abilities. The Els Club also boasts the Butch Harmon School of Golf.

Al Zorah Golf

Par: 72 Length: 7169 yards Course designer: Nicklaus Design
