Emirates Golf Club Where champions come to play

Emirates Golf Club, host of the Omega Dubai Desert Classic and Omega Dubai Ladies Masters, was the first all grass championship golf course in the Middle East when it opened in 1988.

Taking pride in its 36 holes of world class golf, the club sports two of the city’s finest must-play courses, the Majlis and the Faldo. In 2010 the Faldo course became the only 18 hole course in Dubai to offer a night golf experience. Both courses feature natural rolling desert terrain for a serious golfing test, while the recently refurbished signature clubhouse, remains the most eye-catching in the region.

Emirates Golf Club also offers a challenging Par 3 course and renowned Golf Academy run in association with Peter Cowen, one of the world’s most respected golf instructors.

Complementing the Championship Course are world-class facilities including a teaching academy, a floodlit par-3 nine-hole course, Academy retail shop, floodlit driving range and restaurant.
