Great course well maintained and customer service is also very good too!
Used to be great...
Reviewed November 24, 2015
I played it when it had just opened so I wanted to play it again.
Everything looks great except the course... Tee's ok, fairways was uneven cut and the greens was slow.
Great value for money years ago but now I was glad I got 40% discount. Wish I'd known why I got the discount before teeing off though
Sun and sand guaranteed

Nice course and while the service in the bar and hotel was excruciatingly slow, the staff in the shop, dressing rooms and course were extremely friendly and helpful.
Course offers an interesting challenge and once you master playing off the sand in the waste areas, it s easier to handle.
Well kept, good value, very enjoyable

No bunkers 😉
Reviewed January 28, 2024
Course played on January 27th, 2024 We were very surprised when we were informed that there were no bunkers on the course. Clarification: there is a lot of sand and bunker-like structures around the greens, but you can make test swings there like in waste areas; special.
The tracks are otherwise very varied.
Condition of the course: perfect. Employees (except for the lady in the pro shop) were very friendly and accommodating.

Ordinary desert place with almost no water and construction sites
Reviewed March 29, 2023
Played on 3/17/2023. The 18-hole course plus 9-hole par 3 course is located just outside of Dubai in the middle of a very large residential area. The individual settlements have their own guarded and restricted gates. You can only see the mansions when you play the outer lanes. There is almost no development within the golf course. The development is also largely complete, in contrast to other facilities. Nearby is the Dubai Autodrome, which is also heard here and there. The course manages without the really big highlights, there are also almost no water hazards. Nevertheless, it doesn't get boring, thanks to the many waste areas, some bunkers and the undulating and fast greens. The condition was impeccable. The game operation on a Friday morning was quite lively, even if not overcrowded. Start times can be viewed via the Troon app and if you have the Executive Card, you can book 7 days in advance, also with a discount. We paid €107 per person including cart with GPS and 2 small bottles of water and range balls. This was the cheapest 18-hole round in Dubai without a sundowner discount. This is in addition to the mandatory AED 10.5 per person for the Golf Association. The staff from reception to starters were all very friendly and helpful. The clubhouse with pro shop and restaurant (not used) is large and modern. There are aid stations with toilets on the course and water can be drawn from tanks at every second tee. If you want to enjoy a round of golf in Dubai without major construction sites, this is the place for you.

Very interesting desert course and very demanding
Reviewed May 19, 2019
The course looks like you imagine a typical desert course, fantastic. The quality of the place is high. I played the course in April 2019 and the greens are fast and sometimes heavily undulating. What is particularly challenging is that you should keep the ball on the partially narrow fairway so as not to come to the large desert areas or small bunkers, otherwise you go here with a very high score from the square. But despite the difficulty, the course should be a "must have" in the history of any good golfer visiting Dubai. If you want to play the courses in Dubai and Abu Dabi, you should definitely start your teeoff. com, as the green fee players will be able to make an inexpensive reservation here. I've just paid this place thanks to Teeoff for only $ 48.

OK, but not anymore
Reviewed November 27, 2018
The fairways unfortunately have some weeds and the greens now and then bald spots. Pity!
The layout is quite interesting and there are some exciting holes.
You do not necessarily have to play, there is better...

The sandbox!

Greens and fairways in order. In the Waste Areas partially quicksand, but in green near as hard as concrete!
Taxi waiting almost 1 hour!
Is a pity there is better in Dubai

Sand as far as the eye can see!
Reviewed November 24, 2014
This place is very different from the lush green golf courses in Dubai. Driving toward the east into the desert. From the business center Burj Khalifa for a good half hour. Note: Maps prints f take the taxi driver. They know the geography there not very good. Secretariat: multiple mistakes in billing: check!
Place: consists of a huge sand bunkers (desert) to go up a couple of spots and stripes of green vegetation were set. So you have to sand like. Or you will suffer here. Condition currently good. Few people: very comfortable in contrast to the busy other places in Dubai. Created quite interesting. We would also play him again. Out here for a golf vacation: probably not. Is it too far away from the cutting edge.

Construction site
Reviewed December 24, 2013
Did the end of November played here. There is currently an irrigation system built and the place looks like a building site.
Superb but the restaurant and clubhouse.
Conclusion: wait 1 years

No top spot, but interesting.
Reviewed January 13, 2011
550.00 AED for including cart and range balls we played the course in January 2011 and found that the space character of the Desert brings over well. By this we mean big waste-areas overgrown with brambles, which sucks the balls like a vacuum cleaner.
The golf course is played smoothly ie no long distances between the tees. Unfortunately, the color markings of the discounts are not always clearly visible from the Cart. The gastronomy of the clubhouse is well frequented and the number of beers offered considerable. Since the place has been around longer covering his construction along the fairways within limits. The taxi costs about Arabian Ranches are slightly higher because the community is located in the interior.
