Dubai Golf Courses

Home of the Omega Dubai Desert Classic and Omega Dubai Ladies Masters, the Majlis Championship course is the flagship course of Emirates Golf Club, and is deemed as the cathedral of golfing courses in Dubai. The golf course offers world-class golf steeped in Arabian luxury, it is no wonder that Golf World magazine ranked the golf course as one of the ‘Top 100 Golf Courses in the World’ and the ‘Best Course in the Middle East’. The beautiful course offers a variety of challenges to novice and experienced golfers throughout the 18 holes that are built around characteristic desert landscape of the city with a wadi meandering through the lush green fairways of the course. Apart from housing a golf academy, a beautiful clubhouse, the golf club also features international restaurants, a gym hall and shops for golf merchandise and essentials. We recommend that you book early to play on the Majlis, as you may fail to find a booking later.

When the mercury levels drop, the beautifully lit driving range offers a unique opportunity to play night golf.
