"Give me a patch of desert and I will give you a golf course to be proud of” - Peter Harradine
The flagship course at Emirates Golf Club, The Majlis championship course is a challenging par 72, 7,301-yard layout. Designed by Florida-based course architect Karl Litten, the original 18 holes were built in and around the dunes of a beautiful site on the edge of the city of Dubai, donated by His Highness General Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, on whose instructions the desert flora was maintained in its natural state.

All About
Emirates Golf Club
In 1995 a man once said “Give me a patch of desert and I will give you a golf course to be proud of” – Peter Harradine. By 1998 a spectacular Championship Course emerged from the dust now to be recognized globally on the European Tour. Set in the shadow of the national symbol of the United Arab Emirates, the National Course, set at 7600 yards from the back tees provides a tough test for golfers of all abilities and will be sure to test all aspects of a golfer’s game. Each hole on our golf course has a unique layout offering risk and reward opportunities for those who dare to take on the National Course.
The flagship course at Emirates Golf Club, The Majlis championship course is a challenging par 72, 7,301-yard layout. Designed by Florida-based course architect Karl Litten, the original 18 holes were built in and around the dunes of a beautiful site on the edge of the city of Dubai, donated by His Highness General Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, on whose instructions the desert flora was maintained in its natural state.
The Majlis course has developed a worthy reputation worldwide as a testing layout for even the best golfers. The course features hundreds of indigenous species of flora and fauna, beautifully complemented by meandering fairways and seven fresh and saltwater lakes.
The Majlis, the first grass course in the Middle East, takes its name from the Arabic word for ‘meeting place’. One of the most prominent features on the course is the Majlis building itself positioned between the 8th and 9th holes and a Dubai landmark since 1988.
Open day and night, Emirates Golf Club’s second championship golf course, which opened in 1996, was named ‘The Wadi’, taken from the Arabic word for ‘valley’. Redesigned in 2005 by golf legend and six-time major winner Nick Faldo, the course now combines a stunning visual design with the nuances and challenges of any championship course in just the right measure, providing visitors an exceptionally enjoyable golfing experience.
The new course was re-named ‘The Faldo’ when it re-opened in October 2006. A par-72, the course has proved to be as popular as its predecessor and lures players to the challenge of its 7,052 yards day or night thanks to incorporated LED floodlights throughout the course.
One of Dubai’s most attractively maintained courses, Emirates Golf Club’s Par 3 Academy Course offers plenty of challenges for all, whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced player.
The course will encourage beginners and entice players looking to hone their short game skills. Set against the backdrop of the attractive Dubai Marina skyline, the course is designed around nine short yardage holes and features six progressive tees on each hole and two hole locations including a 15″ hole on each green to cater for all levels of golfer.
