Officially opened to the public in January 2006, the Montgomerie Golf Course is the newest jewel in the crown of Dubai`s golf courses. Designed by Colin Montgomerie and Desmond Muirhead, the course covers a total of 200 acres and is built with the traditions of a typical Scottish links course.

The Montgomerie Golf Course Description

With wide undulating fairways, fourteen lakes, and a total of seventy-two bunkers, the course provides a challenge which will intrigue players of all levels. Another feature is large greens. The par 3, 13th hole, covers an area of 58,000 square feet making it the largest single green anywhere in world golf. Its island shape means it can also be played from a 360 degree teeing area, making it a totally different hole each time you play.

Located a thirty minute drive from Dubai City, the Ian Baker-Finch designed Arabian Ranches Course has been tipped to become Dubai’s number one course.

Arabian Ranches Golf Course Description

Built deep into the surrounding desert, the course is unlike any other in the area as it has no trees or water features. The main hazard is the vast bunker which snakes its way across the course in the form of the desert itself. The Arabian Ranches Course has a links feel and at 7700 yards in length can play very long, especially when the desert winds blow. There are, however, several teeing areas to accommodate all level of player and it is fast becoming a popular choice among golfers visiting Dubai.

The original home of The Dubai Desert Classic, the Majlis Course opened for play in 1987 and takes its name from the Arabic meaning "Meeting Place".

Emirates Majlis Golf Course Description

Sculptured amidst the surrounding sand dunes, it was described as "The Desert Miracle" and was the first grass course to be built in the Middle East. Measuring just over 7200 yards, the par 72 Emirates Majlis Golf Course is a fairly stiff test of golf. Numerous Bunkers and water hazards call for accuracy and good course management in order to score well. The most prominent feature of the course is the Majlis Building itself, which is positioned between the 8th and 9th holes.
