Emirates Golf Club

Dubai

Dubai is only a 7 hour flight from the UK so it is ideal for a shoprt break or a week’ stay during our winter or should seasons, escape the worst of the British weather. Sunshine is guaranteed all year round!

Dubai has a dry, warm climate. 28 degrees in December and January with an average rainfall of 7 days a year. The main golfing season is mid September to mid May - in the summer the temperatures go up to 44 degrees, so the prices go down. It is noteworthy that March is the busiest month for shopping, golf and special Sporting Events, so we recommend early booking. Weekends in Dubai tend to be Friday and Saturday, Friday being the Holy Day and Sunday being like a normal working day.

Although there are some great golf courses now well established in Dubai, within 1 year to 18 months, a whole new array of stunning courses will be opening, to add a lot more variety, including courses designed by VJ Singh, Greg Norman, Tiger Woods and Sergio Garcia. The new Els Club is a stunning new links now open and available with restricted access.

Visiting Dubai is like going into the future, with so many incredible modern futuristic hotels like the Atlantis Palm which opened in late 2008. The landmark Burj Al Arab with its 7 stars, new projects at Palm Island, the world’s biggest theme park at Dubai Land plus an underwater hotel and the world’s tallest hotel are on the cards for 2009. High standards and incomparable levels of customer service are the norm here.

We highly recommend that you take time to enjoy the amazing array of extra activities; go dune hopping on the desert dune safari at sunset, go wadi bashing through river beds or travel through the desert to the beautiful mountains near Oman! Alternatively organise a stag night at the Nad el Sheba Racetrack or go camel racing or camel trekking.
