Voted amongst the world’s top 100 "must play courses", the Dubai Creek Course is located in a city centre location that runs alongside the stretch of water from which the course takes its name.

This par 71 championship course has twice hosted the Dubai Desert Classic, and in March 2005 was re-opened after being re-designed by Robert Trent Jones with the help of former Ryder Cup Player Thomas Bjorn.

Measuring just over 6800 yards, the Dubai Creek Course is not long by modern standards, but with many water hazards and Palm tree lined fairways, accuracy is the key. The 17th and 18th holes set you up for a grandstand finish.

Located a thirty minute drive from Dubai City, the Ian Baker-Finch designed Arabian Ranches Course has been tipped to become Dubai’s number one course.

Arabian Ranches Golf Course Description

Built deep into the surrounding desert, the course is unlike any other in the area as it has no trees or water features. The main hazard is the vast bunker which snakes its way across the course in the form of the desert itself. The Arabian Ranches Course has a links feel and at 7700 yards in length can play very long, especially when the desert winds blow. There are, however, several teeing areas to accommodate all level of player and it is fast becoming a popular choice among golfers visiting Dubai.
