Dubai is one of the most prestigious golfing destinations in the world. The
city boasts excellent weather and a collection of championship golf courses
designed by some of the best-known players and course architects in the
business. The Emirates Golf Club plays host each year to the Dubai Desert
Classic golfing tournament which is part of the European PGA Tour. Golfing
heroes Tiger Woods, Ernie Els, Ian Woosnam, Colin Montgomerie and Seve
Ballesteros have all teed off in this world-class competition. Across the city
there are regular amateur tournaments and Dubai Golf operates a central
reservation system enabling visitors to book a round of golf at any of the
major courses via e-mail. Just log on to

The magnificent Emirates Golf Club has two 18-hole championship courses of
breathtaking beauty. Leisure facilities include restaurants and bars, squash
and tennis courts and a yoga and holistic therapy treatment centre. All are
available to non-members, and housed in the stunning white Bedouin-tent
modelled clubhouse. Novices and experienced players can sign up for lessons at
the Peter Cowen Golf Academy, play a few shots on one of the two driving
ranges or sharpen their skills in the dedicated practice areas. Book a stay at
one of our villas in March and catch the fantastic Dubai Desert Classic
tournament here, which attracts some of the best players in the world.

A stay in Dubai wouldn't be complete without a round at the Montgomerie Golf
Club. This stunning new Scottish links course is set in the exclusive Emirates
Hills development on 200 acres of land. It's less than 10 minutes away from
the Emirates Golf Club and was designed by Colin Montgomerie and Desmond
Muirhead. Most memorable is the par-three 13th hole, designed in the shape of
the UAE but also the largest single golfing green in the world. Other
facilities include a driving range, putting greens, a par-three course and a
state-of-the-art swing analysis studio.
We also recommend the unique Nad Al Sheba Club which offers the only floodlit
18-hole course in the Middle East and the newly redeveloped Dubai Creek Golf
and Yacht Club.
