Majlis Course

The Majlis is the Emirates' original layout, but it remains one of the most challenging in the region, and hosts the world's best professionals for the Dubai Desert Classic every year. The idyllic holes created by designer Karl Litten are carved into the great swathes of sandy wasteland, and combine to produce a 7,185 yard championship course of the finest standard and the most dramatic character.

2014 Omega Dubai Desert Classic
Stephen Gallacher produced a tremendous back-nine fightback to become the first player to successfully defend the Omega Dubai Desert Classic. The 39-year-old Scot finished at 16-under par, one clear of Argentina’s Emiliano Grillo, with Romain Wattel and Brooks Koepka a further shot back in joint third. After firing an opening round 63, Rory McIlroy’s closing 74 saw him finish four behind Gallacher in tied ninth, while Tiger Woods finished at six-under (T41).

What the pro's say:
"I always enjoy spending time at the club whether it's during the Dubai Desert Classic or when I'm holidaying with my family in Dubai. My greatest memory of the Emirates Golf Club was in 2001 when I won the Dubai Desert Classic playing alongside Tiger. I look forward to returning soon." – Thomas Bjorn

"It's incredible. When I first played here in 1989, the Emirates Golf Club was right out in the desert and now - as you see with the skyscrapers all around it - it's right in the middle of town.” – Barry Lane

Signature hole- No. 8 (Majlis Course)

Par 4, 459 yards (Black), SI 3
The spectacular 8th hole is a real favourite amongst many of the pros. In fact, so much so that Justin Rose considers it to be in his top 9 holes in the world. At stroke index 3, the hole is challenging and plays long due to its dogleg right and uphill fairway. From the tee, the golfer is greeted with the magnificent view of skyscrapers ahead, and these can be used as a reference to the line of the tee shot. The green is both small and fairly undulating, and combined with a long yardage, this makes for a tough approach shot. A great hole, with little margin for error and requiring a solid drive to allow yourself to make the green in regulation!

Faldo Course

Since Nick Faldo completed his comprehensive refurbishment, the Faldo course has deservedly stood side by side with the more prestigious Majlis layout. Now stretched to a wearying 7,328 yards, the Faldo challenges both ball striking and creativity. The putting surfaces are extremely challenging, while the ever-present expanses of water can quickly upend your scorecard. Always in terrific condition, the Faldo is now well worth playing during your trip to the awesome Emirates Club.

The impressive clubhouse at the Emirates is designed to resemble a Bedouin tented village, and is a reminder of the region's humble origins.

Tips for visiting Emirates Golf Club

Simon Aiken

Handicap: 7
Visited: March

Emirates Golf Club has to be one of the best facilities I have ever visited, featuring both the Faldo and Majlis courses. The Faldo Course can be played by day or by night, but there is something special about playing golf after the sun sets that most certainly cannot be experienced everywhere.

The Majlis Course will leave you overwhelmed by how phenominal the views are, with the backdrop of the Dubai Marina on the signature 8th hole, this was most certainly the highlight of my Dubai trip and can only be seen to be believed!

We played this course in the evening (tee off 7.00pm). This was our first night round and would say it was great fun. The only thing to note is that it is quite difficult to follow the flight of the ball due to the glare of the floodlights. Consequently we lost a couple of balls that would not have happened in the daylight.

This course has recently hosted a tour event and as such the condition of the course was immaculate. Unfortunately we had to change our tee booking at the last minute as the course imposed a Shotgun start, with us starting on the 12th hole. The course has very few holes that are similar to others and some great use of doglegs, elevation and water. We also enjoyed the fact that most of the holes you could see what was in front of you so playing it once was not an issue. The framing on this course with the skyscrapers around the whole course is amazing. Favourite holes are no surprise with the 8th being a photographers dream and the 18th a temptation to go for the green in 2.

We both enjoyed this round immensely, particularly as we played ok, although the greens were very tricky. Very hard and unbelievably fast. Playing two days after the Desert Classic finished this I guess was to be expected. It was thrilling to play the course so soon after the professionals and whilst much of the tournament paraphernalia was in place, such as the stands around the 9th and 15th greens.

Watching the Desert Classic for two days was a highlight of our trip. The only light crowd compared to other events we have attended such as The Open meant crowd control was light and viewing was easy. Just seven of us watching world number two Morikawa on the 7th tee. That said by the final few holes of the last afternoon there was crowd enough to create an atmosphere in what was a thrilling finish to the competition.

Was a great experience, the night golf experience was amazing. Only annoying thing was we asked YGT to hold the tee time as we were going to meet up with locals for the round but when we got there there was two members you had jumped on our tee time. Other than that, it was a great experience. Recommend it to anyone.

Our tee time was brought forward so we played in daylight for the first 9 and floodlight second 9 - not ideal in the dusk! The French restaurant was busy and over priced for what amounted to a bistro style meal and on departure we were ushered into a private car by ground staff which was twice the price of a normal taxi- sharp practice suspected!
