Golf Fee Card® International knows the perfect antidote against winter blues and golf longings: a golf trip to the United Arab Emirates. The first part of our series takes you to the extravagant Dubai.
Dubai – Emirate of Superlatives
Dream Big – There is probably no other slogan that suits the city in the desert better than this one. Things in Dubai are a little bit bigger and fancier than in other parts of the world. Burj Khalifa proves this to be true: with 828 meters, it is the highest building in the world. But extraordinary buildings can also be found on golf courses like Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club. Its dreamy 18-hole course has a unique club house which looks like the sails of an Arabic Dhow.
Not big enough, yet? You might want to catch your breath when looking at 45 million flowers on 72,000 square meters at Dubai Miracle Garden. Golfers will get to see breathtaking views also at The Els Club which is only ten minutes away. For the creation of this 18-hole course designer and golf legend Ernie Els was inspired by big, international courses. No wonder, you might recognize some elements of the fairways.
There are still things that are even bigger in Dubai: The artificial island The Palm Jumeirah spreads on 560 hectares along the coast. Nearby Emirates Golf Club is by far not as big, but it has two remarkable 18-hole courses. Majlis Course looks like a green oasis with its exotic plants, big lakes and bunkers, while Faldo course with its hilly terrain is more like a dry, Arabian desert.
Address Montgomerie is situated in the exclusive residential area Emirates Hills outside the bustling city center of Dubai. It is part of a 5-star-hotel and offers peace, tranquility and first-class golf moments on its 18-hole course. A special highlight is the hand-shaped bunker at hole 17.
