The Track Meydan Golf
The Track is Dubai's premier night golf venue, a Peter Harradine designed nine hole, par 36 course of about 3,667 yards laid out beside the Meydan racecourse and floodlit end to end. Opened in 2012 and minutes from Downtown, it lets you tee off after dark under the lights of the grandstand, the perfect answer to summer heat and a packed city schedule.

The verdict
The Track does one thing better than anywhere else in Dubai: golf after dark. Peter Harradine routed a nine hole, par 36 course around lakes and rolling ground beside the Meydan racecourse, then lit it from end to end, so a round under the grandstand floodlights is the headline experience. Opened in 2012 and sitting just minutes from Downtown, it is the most convenient and most atmospheric night golf in the city.
For the traveling golfer it solves the summer problem. When daytime temperatures make the championship courses a test of endurance, an evening nine at The Track is comfortable, quick and genuinely fun, and the clubhouse and Italian restaurant make it an easy night out as much as a round of golf. It is not a bucket list championship test, but as a flexible add on to a Dubai trip, especially in the warmer months, it earns its place.

Designer, opening year, configuration, par and yardage verified June 2026 from the club and leading course databases. The Track is a Peter Harradine design opened in 2012, a fully floodlit nine hole course of par 36 measuring about 3,667 yards, with two par 5s, two par 3s and five par 4s, beside the Meydan racecourse in central Dubai. It is open to visitors; indicative 2026 green fees sit in the mid range for a Dubai nine, with day and floodlit evening rates that vary by season and time of day. Rates change by season, so always confirm current pricing and availability directly before booking.
The holes worth the trip
Harradine gave the nine more variety than its length suggests, with the routing weaving around natural lakes that bring water into play on several approaches and a mix of two par 5s, two par 3s and five par 4s to keep the round interesting. The fairways are generous, the greens are fair, and the whole layout is set up to be played at a comfortable pace whether you walk or ride.
The real signature, though, is the lighting. Under the floodlights the lakes and the grandstand of the Meydan racecourse frame the holes, and the cooler evening air makes the experience as much about the setting as the scoring. Play it twice round for a full eighteen, or keep it as a relaxed evening nine, and either way it delivers something none of Dubai's championship courses can.
On a Dubai golf trip, The Track is the evening complement to the city's championship rounds. Build the week around marquee tests such as the Majlis at Emirates Golf Club and the desert layout at Arabian Ranches, then add a floodlit nine here after dark.
