Dubai : Golf in Dubai

All the information about playing golf in Dubai

The government of Dubai have set out their stall to be the biggest and best in almost every field, and golf is no different. Ever since the oil money started to flow into the emirate in the 1960s, there has been an interest in playing golf in Dubai.

With a wide selection of championship standard golf courses to play on, offering some of the best facilities in the world, it is no surprise that Dubai has become one of the most popular destinations in the world for a golfing holiday. In Dubai, you can choose to play golf on a number of different golf courses, including the Emirates Golf Club, and the Dubai Creek Golf club, as well as several others.

The PGA Dubai Desert Classic golf tournament is an important stop on the European golf tour, and attracts some of the top players in the world to Dubai during early March. There are various hospitality packages that can be booked so that you can meet with the golfers themselves, and watch the tournament unfold in luxury.

As an extra bonus for people who want to play golf in Dubai, anyone who flies to Dubai with Emirates is permitted to take half a set of golf clubs as part of their luggage - although with the low prices available on sporting goods in Dubai, you might want to wait until you arrive in order to buy a new set for far less than you would pay in the UK!
