The Golf Courses

Majlis

The Majlis Course is Home to the Dubai Desert Classic and the European Ladies Tour, this layout boasts a world-class course and is a must-play layout in Dubai. The Clubhouse reflects a Bedouin tented village, and our teams are guaranteed to experience the oldest Arabian tradition of all, hospitality.

Opened in 1988, the Majlis Course at Emirates Golf Club was nicknamed “The Desert Miracle” when it became Dubai’s first all-grass championship course. This 7,200 yard, par-72 course is a real pleasure to play, and offers a challenge to all levels; the course record is held by the great Ernie Els, with a 61. Enjoy playing the course set up for the DP World Tour only days after crowning their champion.

The seven lakes and the natural vegetation make this golf course visually stunning, and this extended to the off-course areas. Considered the best of the two Emirates courses, The Majlis is designed around the tall dunes of Dubai and will be a fitting venue for the Final Round of our Pro-Am in 2022.

Dubai Creek

Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club has been host to numerous tournaments and events, including the Dubai Desert Classic on two occasions.

The Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club course sets up for a thrilling finale to a round with its two par 4 closing holes. The 17th and 18th have the Creek guarding the entire left side of the fairway. While the 17th can still be conquered with some smart play, the 18th requires mandatory cerebral involvement on every shot. There is water on the left and a long bunker on the right, beyond which is water again. A good drive will still leave you with a long iron into the tiered and sloping green, which is guarded at the front and right by a body of water.

The Els Club 

Renowned as one of the finest golfing destinations in the Middle East, the unique experience of The Els Club is one that creates everlasting memories and should be on every golfers must-play list.

Those who appreciate life’s finest pleasures will embrace this true sporting gem which has been sensationally designed by Ernie Els, former US Open and Open Championship winner. Ernie has a passion for the great links courses of the UK, where he has won two of his 4 major championships, and in creating The Els Club he set about recreating some of these design features in a desert landscape. Thus a ‘desert links’ was born, one that was quickly named ‘best new international course’ by the prestigious US magazine, Links.

Whether you’re playing for the first time or are a regular at The Els Club, the immaculate championship course offers golf connoisserus one of the best in desert golf!

Hotel Indigo Downtown Dubai – 5* Boutique

We have chosen an amazing hotel this year on the doorstep of Dubai Downtown and perfectly postioned for our teams to enjoy unforgettable nights out to mingle between the Design District and the Dubai Mall, watch the city’s electrifying contrasts come alive at the Hotel Indigo Dubai Downtown.

Once through the doors, decades of vibrant culture inspire carefully curated rooms with lavish mother-of-pearl bathrooms, funky Moroso designer chairs and envy-inducing views. Hone that beach bod in the gym, find some headspace in our yoga studio or just freestyle it out in the 25-metre infinity pool.

Outside, cruise the relaxing vibe of the waterside as you explore the city’s galleries and hotspots, or hang with the locals over locally roasted specialty coffee and contemporary Mediterranean cuisine at Open Sesame social eatery.

As night arrives, swing over to our signature cocktail bar Off The Wall for a uniquely crafted cocktail infused with local flare. Experience views of the city skyline you’ll never forget as you chill with beats at the pool deck Orange Feels Bar. And when it’s time to go, bring a slice of the experience home with you with a unique piece from Bakala Jooos juice bar & concept store.
