The flagship course at Emirates Golf Club, The Majlis championship course is a challenging par 72, 7,301-yard layout.
Designed by Florida-based course architect Karl Litten, the original 18 holes were built in and around the dunes of a beautiful site on the edge of the city of Dubai, donated by His Highness General Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, on whose instructions the desert flora was maintained in its natural state.
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.
The Majlis, the first grass course in the Middle East, takes its name from the Arabic word for ‘meeting place’. One of the most prominent features of the course is the Majlis building itself positioned between the 8th and 9th holes and a Dubai landmark since 1988.
A proud host of the DP World Tour Championship, Dubai – the culmination of The Race to Dubai and European Tour season.
This sharply defined, sculptured course inspired by the great parklands of Europe and North America, paints a magnificent pastiche of ora, rolling terrain, and rushing water. These natural components also provide differing angles and changing perspectives from each tee.
Norman’s design was inspired by the great parkland courses of Europe and North America, with rolling fairways lined by over 3,500 trees, numerous water hazards, and over 100 bunkers this golf course is a fantastic experience for all.
The 4th hole is one to look out for, at 253 yards from the back tees it is the start of a very tough stretch through the front nine. The final four holes provide an exciting finish of which Greg Norman is very proud, with water featuring on all four and the creek running through the full length of the 18th hole, he considers them ‘the most challenging mile in golf’.
The par 71 course that measures 6,857 yards is a memorable journey from the first tee to the 18th green. The superbly manicured fairways are undulating, demarcated by mounds, date and palm trees, and most other times by water.
Apart from the Creek, which comes into play on at least four holes, several artificial lakes add to the beauty and difficulty of various other holes.
The presence of multiple tees ensures that golfers of all calibers enjoy their day out at the course. While the length of the tee helps, the premium is certainly on the accuracy, especially with the approach shots as most of the greens are multi-tiered with subtle borrows.
The Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club course sets up for a thrilling finale to a round with its two par 4 closing holes. The 17th and 18th have the Creek guarding the entire left side of the fairway.
While the 17th can still be conquered with some smart play, the 18th requires mandatory cerebral involvement on every shot. There is water on the left and a long bunker on the right, beyond which is water again. A good drive will still leave you with a long iron into the tiered and sloping green, which is guarded at the front and right by a body of water.
