Dubai Golf Vacation - Golf Hotels in Dubai
Dubai, the 'City of Gold' is well-known to golfers as it hosts the annual Desert Classic tournament. Voted the Emerging Golf destination of 2001, you can only be impressed with the excellent design and condition of the four courses from tee to green. Dubai is the pioneer of golf in the Middle East with championship-standard grass courses to challenge the skills of even the most experienced players.

Emirates Golf Club
On the fringe of the city, Emirates Golf Club -- the Middle East's first championship grass course -- is an oasis of green and the venue for the annual PGA Desert Classic, which attracts many of the world's top players.The main 18-hole course is 7,100 yards, playing to a par of 72. Six lakes form obstacles to nine of the holes and add to the visual impact of the spectacular course. From the gentle 418-yard par 5 first hole to the challenging par 5 eighteenth across a lake to a double green, the course offers something for every golfer.

Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club
The course was designed to championship standards. The main 18-hole, par 72 course is 6,956 yards in length and features ornamental lakes and three seawater hazards. Cunning dog-legs along the immaculate fairways and substantial bunkers protecting the individually sculptured greens provide a challenge for amateur and professional alike. The 9-hole par 3 course, fully floodlit, is a unique facility to practice the short game, day and night. In 1995, the Club made its debut as a venue on the Asian PGA Tour, thus giving Dubai the unique distinction of being the only golfing centre to host events on both the European and Asian circuits.

Dubai Golf and Racing Club - Nad Al Shiba
Situated at Nad Al Shiba, some 10 minutes from the city centre, Dubai's third grass golf course opened in June 1993. Initially a par-35, nine-hole course, there are plans to expand the facility with a further nine holes. Residents and visitors will be welcome on a "pay-and-play" basis. Full floodlighting ensures maximum playing time. The short holes over water allow little room for error, while the par 5´s make stringent demands to reach the green safely; deep pot bunkers await the unwary, while eight lakes add further attractive hazards.
