It’s all in the experience!With over 25 years of golfing traditions, Dubai Golf manages two of the most internationally-renowned and established golf clubs in the region - Emirates Golf Club and the Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club.

In addition to world class golf courses, the clubs also boast luxurious clubhouses, a wide choice of restaurants and award-winning golf academies, offering some of the most spectacular locations for golf, events and entertainment in the world.

In 2011, Dubai Golf also announced the opening of Almouj Golf in Muscat, Oman, the first Dubai Golf-managed course outside of the UAE.

Emirates Golf Club

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 the region 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.

The Majlis Course has been presented with numerous accolades over its 25-year history, the most recent of which were its 2012 ranking by Golf World magazine as one of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World and its award for Best Course Middle East in the Asian Golf Monthly Awards 2010.

Emirates Golf Club also offers a challenging nine-hole par 3 course and renowned Golf Academy run in association with Peter Cowen, one of the world’s most respected golf instructors. Off the course, Emirates Golf Club offers everything from fine dining to bar bites, available alongside top-notch pool and fitness facilities, squash and tennis courts and a spa.

Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club

Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club is the premier golf resort in the Middle East and 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 clubhouse, modelled on the sails of a traditional Arab dhow, became an internationally-recognised landmark and was named Best Clubhouse in Golf World’s Best of the Best awards.

Almouj Golf

Almouj Golf is an exceptional Greg Norman-designed, 18-hole championship golf course located at The Wave, Muscat in Oman and managed by Dubai Golf. Norman has captured the essence of the surrounding environment and enhanced it to produce a links-style course that runs alongside over two kilometres of beach.

The course is 7,342 yards in length, and the breathtaking views of the Sea of Oman and the Hajar Mountains are visible from everywhere on the course. Almouj Golf is also home to a golf academy with a state-of-the-art swing studio, driving range and private golf lesson area.
