The Track, Meydan
Peter Harradine routed The Track in 2014 on the flat ground beside the Meydan Racecourse, a fully floodlit nine hole course threaded between six natural lakes. A par 36 of about 3,700 yards that most golfers play twice round, it is built for night golf and sits minutes from Downtown Dubai, the easiest premium tee time in the city.

The verdict
Peter Harradine laid out The Track in 2014 on the open ground beside the Meydan Racecourse, and it has become the most accessible serious golf in central Dubai. A nine hole course playing to a par of 36, it winds between six natural lakes with water in play on most holes, and a striking tented clubhouse, the Meydan Golf clubhouse, watching over the closing stretch.
What sets it apart is the floodlighting. The Track is built end to end for night golf, so you can tee off after sunset in the cool of the evening, a genuine rarity and the answer to Dubai summers. It is not a championship test in the manner of the Majlis, but it is fun, walkable, beautifully kept and ideal for a relaxed nine, a twilight round or a corporate evening. For a city break golfer short on time, it is the smart pick.

The holes worth the trip
The Track repeats a tidy nine that asks for position rather than power. The lakes do the defending, fronting greens and squeezing landing areas, so the player who keeps the ball dry and finds the correct tier scores well. Played twice round to 18, the par 36 builds to about 3,700 yards and rewards a steady iron game over a big driver.
The par 3s are the photographs, both played across water to greens that hold a firm strike and reject the bailout. The two par 5s give the bigger hitter a look at reaching in two, but the lakes make that a real gamble. Under floodlights the whole course changes character, the water turning black and the lit greens glowing, a round that feels like nowhere else in the Emirates.
The closing holes run back toward the dramatic clubhouse, the lakes tightening the line into the last green. The Track will not test a low handicapper to the limit, but it is clever, scenic and endlessly replayable, and the night golf alone earns it a place on any Dubai itinerary.
