Dubai Hills Golf Club: Avis

Dubai Hills Golf Course is inside Dubai Hills project which has a residential compound and a shopping mall under the same name. I made our booking via Troon app. We arrived only 8 minutes prior to our tee time, but everything in the club worked fast enough for us to catch our flight mates right at the tee time at Tee box no.1… We did not have time to go to driving range o… Plus

Dubai Hills is the one of the few courses that feature the Burj Kalifa in the skyline – a picture opportunity you don’t want to miss. And at the practice range, the world’s tallest building can be your aiming point. Also, this is a course where you can spot wildlife, with deer appearing at different spots throughout the course. If you want a quiet round of golf, it migh… Plus

Nice practice facilities too bad you can only hit irons on the driving range while on the course most holes require a driver even from the silver tees. There is a lot of building around the course and some houses are huge (30.000 m2!) although I understand that the real estate is connected to the course, in this case, it was a bit too much for me. But hopefully when it’s … Plus

What a beauty of a golf course. Especially the maintenance and quality of the grass was a welcome sight after a long rainy season back home. Teeboxes were great, fairways as pure as the greens I usually play at, and the greens can’t be faulted for anything. It was tricky to get the speed and the lines right (which I hardly did, definitely not both) as the greens were very… Plus

Target line off the tee? : Burj Khalifa and Dubai Sky Line. Designed by Gary Johnston in 2016. Stunning arrival to a quite high end neighborhood. Bag drop is as smooth and easy as the pyramid of golf balls ready by the driving range - not long enough to hit drivers but different targets and the quality of the grass make up for it. Brand new golf carts with modern gp… Plus

for me, the best golf couse in Dubai.

Deze baan is met alle recht verkozen tot “beste nieuwe golfbaan in de wereld” in 2019. De lay-out, het onderhoud, de surrounding en de uitzichten op de Burj Khalifa zijn fantastisch. Waar alle banen in Dubai nu last hebben van het warme weer en daardoor kale en dorre plekken vertonen ligt deze baan er nog steeds prachtig bij. De greens zijn gigantisch met mooie en moeilij… Plus

Dit is de nieuwste baan in Dubai en het is een absoluut plaatje! Het onderhoud van de baan, de kwaliteit van de greens, fairways en tee-boxen zijn geweldig. Het clubhuis heeft een leuk restaurant (the Duck Hook) om nog even na te zitten met een lekker biertje (bestel wel tijdens happy hour! 😏) en een hapje te eten. Het terras is niet al te groot maar heeft een mooi uitzi… Plus
