Majlis Course
Opened in 1988, the Majlis Course was nicknamed “The Desert Miracle” when it became Dubai’s first all-grass championship course. 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.
Faldo Course
The Faldo Course designed by the man himself is destined to become a classic. Built on naturally rugged terrain, the course bears many of the hallmarks of Faldo’s other designs, such as the varied tee shots and deceptive bunkers. There is a natural wadi that runs the length of the course, which often comes into play without being classified as a hazard, another feature that sets this course apart. This is a magnificent course that provides a test for all levels of golfer.
