After having lived in this remarkable city for 18 months, I wanted to share the type of experience you have when visiting Dubai and surrounds.

Dubai is not just a city of towering skyscrapers and dazzling shopping malls, it's also a golfer’s dream. With its world-class courses, luxurious amenities and breathtaking views, it offers a golfing experience like no other.

Whether you're a seasoned pro or a casual player looking for a memorable round, Dubai’s golf clubs are sure to deliver an unforgettable experience.

From the moment you arrive, you’ll encounter the highest levels of service, whether it’s booking your tee time or arranging transportation to the course. After your game, you can unwind with a refreshing drink at one of the club’s elegant lounges. Every detail is taken care of to ensure your golfing experience is as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

Dubai is home to some of the most iconic golf courses in the world, designed to challenge and inspire golfers of all abilities.

The Emirates Golf Club, with its renowned Majlis Course, hosts the prestigious DP World Tour Dubai Desert Classic, an event that attracts top international golfers. Known for its perfectly manicured fairways and strategic layout, the Majlis Course is a must-play for any golf enthusiast.

Another standout is Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club, which offers stunning views of the Dubai Creek and the city skyline, all while providing a challenging course that will test your skills. For an elite golfing experience, head to Jumeirah Golf Estates and its Earth Course, home to the DP World Tour Championship, where you can play amid the world’s best players, some of whom call Dubai home.

If you're looking to improve your game, Dubai’s golf clubs are also equipped with state-of-the-art practice facilities. Many of them feature expansive driving ranges, putting greens and short-game areas that cater to golfers of all skill levels. You can also take advantage of advanced technology, such as Trackman, which offers precise data to fine-tune your swing.

There are also first-class instruction facilities, like The Butch Harmon School of Golf at the Emirates Golf for those who are new to the game or are looking to sharpen their skills. They offer top-notch coaching, from basic lessons to advanced swing techniques, ensuring you leave with a stronger game. Whether you're on the course or at the practice range, you'll find expert guidance to help you succeed.

And then there is the after-round experience where you can treat yourself to a meal at one of Dubai’s elegant clubhouses. Many clubs feature world-class restaurants that offer everything from a casual bite to fine dining, all in a luxurious setting. The Royal Golf Club at Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club offers exquisite dining where you also get to enjoy sweeping views of the creek, creating the perfect ambiance to relax and enjoy delicious cuisine.

Another highlight of golfing in Dubai is the stunning scenery that surrounds the courses. Whether you're teeing off at Arabian Ranches Golf Club (below) with the desert as your backdrop, or playing alongside the Dubai skyline at Jumeirah Golf Estates, the views are always breathtaking. Each course is thoughtfully designed to make the most of Dubai's unique landscape, ensuring a visual feast with every round.

If you time your trip right, Dubai is not just about playing golf – it’s also a hub for some of the world’s most exciting golfing events. The Dubai Desert Classic in January is just one of the many tournaments that takes place in the region and is a must if you want to see the world’s stars in action.

Whether you’re visiting to watch a major tournament or simply to enjoy the buzz of a vibrant golf scene, Dubai offers plenty of action and excitement. It has the perfect combination of world-class golf, luxurious amenities and unforgettable scenery, and promises an experience you’ll never forget.

Come and see for yourself... I guarantee you will come again!
