| Emirates Golf Club | |
 Emirates Golf Club boasts two 18-hole championship courses.The sprinklers on the Majlis course keep the Bermuda grass growing, alongside the indigenous desert flora, giving a picturesque contrast. The lush fairways and large greens provide a formidable test of golf, guaranteeing a magnificent finish on the 18th hole, a long dog-leg, which has seen as many inspirational finishes as watery disasters in its 19 year history. Other course highlights include the par three 7th and the gruelling par four 8th. The Majlis is equally playable by leading tournament professionals and the average weekend golfer. The second course at Emirates Golf Club is the Wadi by Faldo. A visual delight with distinctive bunkering that is visible from the tee all the way to the green, The Wadi Course provides a test for both experienced and lesser golfers. A unique feature to this course is the wadi (from the Arabic word valley) itself that meanders its way through the length of the course, featuring a striking roughed up edge that adds character to the course. Measuring 7,328 yards, ‘The Wadi by Faldo’ is a real ‘thinkers’ course. There are great rewards waiting for those who strategically plot their way around, with a premium on accuracy. |
