The Els Club Dubai: Avis

Els Club is located in Dubai Sport City. The opening hole is nice. It's good that there are two shorter pars (2nd and 4th hole) where the player can gain confidence at the start of the round. Watch out for 7 and 15 playing around the lake. The backdrop for most of the course is tall apartment buildings. Pay special attention to holes 9 - 11, which Ernie Els called the Lio… Plus

This is a very photogenic course. The skyline is shaped by skyscrapers and high apartment buildings. Next to the course are residential villas, but the holes are the main contributors to the picture. Beautifully shaped holes, where hazard areas, bunkers, fairways, water ponds, and greens have all been placed in exactly the right spots. A good example is the par 3 second –… Plus

Nice entrance and clubhouse. Beautiful terrace with a view of the 18th. The only small minus was that the WiFi did not work outside. The staff was very friendly and a great place to chill. The Caddiemaster was very helpful since we came a day before our tee time (on a fully booked Sunday) and still he managed to squeeze us in. Very nice! The course was great to play, … Plus

Tough golf course, and fun to play. Holes are not long, but the greens are elevated, and anything off target will roll off. Conditioning was not as good as Trump, and I think that is because it has a large membership and gets a lot of play. The first 6 holes are the weakest on the course, and have the most impact from housing. Once one gets to hole 7, the course is super,… Plus

Brutal golf course. If I can only use one word for a review of this course, just brutal. Especially the first time you play this course, it will be a big challenge. Quite often we found ourselves being punished for what we considered to be good shots. The greens are particularly tricky, with big run off areas, hard to read greens and small plateaus. It is however, a spe… Plus

The Els Club Dubai has some of the best facilities I've seen. Driving is wide and even a Bubba Watson can not reach the end, it's very long. Several chipping area's, putting green, everything here. The course is one of my favorites in Dubai. It has a real desert feeling with plenty of waste area's and it's well bunkered. Water in play at only 2 holes, both bordered by t… Plus

Playing the Els Club was a great experience. It started end ended in on the terrace of the clubhouse, which by itself is nothing special, however, the atmosphere is really nice. It has 2 separated buildings at the ground floor, connected with the upper one. The open space on the ground floor is allocated for the restaurants and the outdoor sitting are which does give the … Plus

Probably one of the best maintained courses in the UAE. The greens are really fast and in pristine condition. From all the courses in Dubai this is probably one of the hardest. Everything on this course is just beautiful, except for 1 thing; the surroundings. You’ve got the feeling you’re playing in people their backyard. But with all honesty, please don’t let it spoil yo… Plus

The Els golfclub in Dubai is a nice desert course in Dubai. It start already with a huge clubhouse where everything is available. From a nice terrace, good restaurant to perfect locker rooms and polite staff. All your questions will be answered and solved. The practice facilities are well maintained and large, especially your short game is more than sufficient and recomme… Plus

Well what can you say, A must go and play. Difficult to reach greens in regulation but once there the put can do the rest. Nice greens, all the same. Really something to remember.

Still one of my favourite golf courses in Dubai. Great and diverse desert layout, with proper bunker positioning. The bunkers are exactly where they need to be so choose your tee boxes wisely. If you can not hit at least 220m carry with your driver do yourself a favour and play from white/silver tees which are the 3rd set of tees. Second (blue) set of tees are just too ch… Plus

Condition of the golf course was amazing. Lots of bunkers. Good test off the back tees. Practice facilities are world class.

Beautiful desert golf course in excellent playing condition and top class greens! Very good layout and a must play if you are looking for great golf experience in Dubai. Amazing clubhouse and nice pro-shop. Highly recommended.
