Where Championship Golf Meets Unforgettable Experiences
The UAE is one of the world’s most exciting golf destinations, combining world-class championship courses, year-round sunshine during the main golf season, luxurious resorts, beautiful beaches and an extraordinary choice of dining and entertainment. Imagine teeing off against the backdrop of Dubai’s iconic skyline, playing immaculate fairways beside the Arabian Gulf, or discovering spectacular courses surrounded by desert landscapes and rugged mountains. Beyond the golf, enjoy beachfront restaurants, rooftop bars, vibrant nightlife, traditional souks, authentic Emirati hospitality and some of the finest hotels in the world.
From the glamour of Dubai and the cultural attractions of Abu Dhabi to the relaxed coastal charm of Ajman, the mountain scenery of Fujairah and the natural beauty of Ras Al Khaimah, every emirate offers a different experience. Whether you’re planning a golf trip with friends, a luxury escape, a corporate tournament or a full golf society holiday, the UAE delivers the perfect combination of exceptional golf, warm hospitality, food, entertainment and adventure.
Dubai is a golfer’s paradise, home to internationally renowned courses including Emirates Golf Club, Jumeirah Golf Estates, Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club, The Els, The Montgomery Golf Club, Dubai Hills Golf Club & the newly opened Dubai South Golf Club. Take on immaculate championship fairways, strategic bunkers and challenging greens, with the city’s iconic skyline providing a spectacular backdrop.
Away from golf, discover luxury hotels, beach clubs, rooftop bars, world-class restaurants and legendary nightlife. Explore the souks, cruise the Marina, enjoy a desert safari or spend the evening sharing great food and drinks with friends. In Dubai, the 19th hole can be just as memorable as the first tee.
Abu Dhabi combines world-class golf with beautiful beaches, cultural landmarks and sophisticated island resorts. Play the spectacular oceanfront Yas Links, enjoy the championship layout at Abu Dhabi Golf Club or experience the coastal scenery of Saadiyat Beach Golf Club.

On the UAE’s east coast, Fujairah offers a striking contrast to the busy cities, with the Hajar Mountains rising behind beautiful beaches along the Gulf of Oman. It is an excellent choice for travellers who want to combine golf elsewhere in the UAE with coastal relaxation, snorkelling, diving and scenic drives.
