The Desert Miracle was the name given to Emirates Golf Club, Dubai, when it became the first all-grass championship golf course in the Gulf region, way back in 1988. And so it remains to this day, even though many have followed in its footsteps. His Highness General Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s brainchild still inspires awe amongst all who play its verdant green golf courses, as well as those who simply visit its unique and ageless clubhouse.

That agelessness is derived from the original design, which reflects a Bedouin tented village with seven gleaming white concrete and glass structures. This is complemented by the natural look of the off-course areas of the golf course, where desert flora and fauna have flourished and established themselves over the years. Originally built as an attraction to the growing corporate sector and the then burgeoning tourist industry, Emirates Golf Club still leads the way in innovation, quality and service and remains the market leader for golf in the region.

From ‘The Majlis’18-hole golf course with relatively modest leisure facilities, albeit world-class from the outset, the club now sports a second championship golf course ‘The Faldo’, extended practice facilities, and enough racket sports and recreational facilities to satisfy the most discerning of visitors. But the traditions of Arabia are not restricted to just the design of the clubhouse. The oldest tradition of all Arab hospitality – is the foundation upon which the successful development and reputation of Emirates Golf Club has been built.
For members and visitors alike, a welcome unmatched anywhere in the world, is guaranteed.

Away from Dubai, the Club’s international reputation was established in 1989 with the Club’s first European Tour event - The Dubai Desert Classic being played on The Majlis course. Years later, the tournament reaches hundreds of millions of TV screens around the world every year and most of the world’s top players have taken part in what is now one of the European Tour’s premier events.

Despite the stature and reputation, Emirates Golf Club has managed to retain its warmth of welcome and quality of service, not just for golfers, but for all members and visitors. And the facilities are not restricted to golf. With superb sports, leisure and recreation facilities, spectacular restaurants and shops, the Club is a haven for sports minded people and casual visitors alike.

Add to all that a sophisticated banqueting service which caters to functions of every size and type, from seminars in the Majlis function suite to dinners on the lawns, from candlelit dinners in the restaurant to concerts by the pool, and you have the perfect venue.
