Emirates Golf Club (Dubai) is one of the most luxurious clubs in the world (which, in principle, is quite expected, if you remember that in Dubai even police officers drive Lamborghini, Ferrari and Bugatti Veyron. Seven clear lakes and impressive cityscapes around, as well as first-class service – what else do you need for a great game? Especially noteworthy is that the club is open to visitors around the clock, which is a rarity in the Middle East.
The Emirates Golf Club, home of the world famous Omega Dubai Desert Classic, is the king of the greens in the Middle East region. The club has three impeccable golf courses: The Majlis, The Faldo and the Par 3.
The Majlis is famous for being the first grass golf course in the Middle East. This ideal par 72 course is complemented by seven lakes and its name means “meeting place” in Arabic. One of the main attractions of the Majlis course is the Majlis building itself, which is located between the eighth and ninth holes. The building was built in 1988 and has been one of the monuments of architecture in Dubai ever since.
Faldo is another competition course. The course was renovated in 2007. Along the course runs a wadi channel. Numerous bunkers and first-strike stands have been installed along the naturally rugged fairways.
Both courses are complemented by an illuminated par 3 course, considered by many to have the most challenging par 3 holes in the Emirates, as well as a modern golf school, practice course and specialist store.
Golf is not the only focus of the club. Among the visitors of the club there are many who do not play golf. They are attracted by the comprehensive sports center, where you can, among other things, swim in the pool, go to the gym, play squash, big and paddle tennis. In addition, there are numerous restaurants, including the first-class classic French restaurant Le Classique, M’s Restaurant, and Spike Bar, which is the heart and soul of the club.
