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.
Almouj Golf
Inspired by Oman. Designed by Greg Norman
Along a six-kilometre stretch of natural beach, flanking the Indian Ocean and at the foot of the
stunning Hajar mountain range, lies a striking oasis of lush green grass, peppered with bunkers,
water hazards and natural dunes.
In designing the course, Greg Norman has embraced the diversity of Oman’s topography in every
hole. At 7,342 yards long, the 18 hole Championship Course at Almouj Golf is Oman’s first links style
course offering amateurs and professionals a challenging, yet rewarding, game of golf.
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.
As one of the fastest growing tourist hubs in the Arabian Peninsula, Oman boasts of pristine
beaches, picturesque mountains and endless blue skies. Wherever you look you are faced with a
fusion of local heritage that combines the modern with the historical.
Almouj Golf adds to the Sultanates attractions and positions the country as a growing destination
for worldwide golfers. Typical Omani hospitality is evident throughout and a warm welcome greets
everyone who visits Almouj Golf.
Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club
The premier golf resort in the Middle East
Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club is the premier golf resort in the Middle East, located in the heart of
Dubai. The 18 hole championship golf course was voted one of the world’s ‘Top 100 Must-Play Golf
Courses’ and offers a memorable journey from the first tee to the 18th green.
There is a unique charm to Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club, nestled between the serene settings of
the tranquil Creek and just a short drive away from the bustling city centre. A round of golf at this
sporting oasis in the heart of the city is a delightful journey across the fabled landscape of Dubai, a
city that thrives in all seasons. Well groomed fairways lined with date palms and coconut trees, and
attractive water hazards and shrubbery lend a tropical air to the Club’s magnificent 18 hole, par 71
championship course.
The club also boasts a floodlit 9 hole Par 3 course, 18 hole Putting course, golf academy and a 121
