Emirates Golf Club Tee Times and Booking

The short answer

Emirates Golf Club is a premium daily fee club open to visitors, and the Majlis is its flagship. The green fee is indicatively around AED 1,100 at peak times on Fridays and Saturdays and around AED 995 off peak, with some published rates nearer AED 1,250, and off season or last minute deals bringing the price down. The single biggest lever on cost and comfort is the season: the cooler months are peak for both demand and price, while high summer is far cheaper but seriously hot.

The takeaway for planning is to play the Majlis in the morning during the cool season for the best conditions, book ahead because those times are in demand, and use the floodlit Faldo course for an evening round, especially in the warmer months. Book through the club and Dubai Golf or the established Dubai tee time platforms, and note that a walking only policy applies in parts of the cooler season, so check the cart position before you book.

How the pricing works

Emirates Golf Club prices the Majlis like the premium Dubai attraction it is, with the highest rates on the weekend, which in the UAE falls on Friday and Saturday, and lower fees midweek and off peak. The bigger swing is seasonal. Through the cool months from autumn to spring the course is in tournament condition, the weather is perfect for golf, and demand and prices are at their highest. In high summer the fees fall sharply, but daytime temperatures make a midday round genuinely hard work, which is where the floodlit Faldo course earns its keep.

That makes the round plannable around two choices: when in the year you travel, and what time of day you play. For the best of the Majlis, a cool season morning is worth the peak fee. For value and comfort in the heat, an early time or a floodlit evening round on the Faldo course is the smarter play. Off season and last minute offers exist, so it is always worth checking current deals before you commit.

How to book a tee time

Book through Emirates Golf Club and the Dubai Golf booking system, through the club's tee times desk, or through the established Dubai tee time platforms that list the Majlis. The Majlis is open to visitors year round, but the cool season mornings are the most sought after times in Dubai golf, so book ahead for those, and have alternative times ready if your first choice is gone. If you are building a multi course Dubai trip, our concierge can hold the Majlis time and arrange the rest of the courses around it.

Whichever route you take, confirm the cart position when you book, because a walking only policy applies in parts of the cooler season and that affects how you plan your round and your day. Check too whether your preferred date sits close to the Dubai Desert Classic, when the Majlis is given over to the tournament and visitor access changes.

When to play, and what to expect

The Majlis is a Karl Litten par 72 of about 7,301 yards, a desert course of generous landing areas, water in play down the closing stretch and fast greens, with the famous par five closing hole that has decided so many Desert Classics. The cool season from October to April is the time to play, with comfortable temperatures and the course at its best, while summer is cheaper but hot enough to demand an early or floodlit round. The skyline backdrop and the tournament pedigree make it one of the most enjoyable rounds in the region.

Most visitors pair the Majlis with the floodlit Faldo course on the same property and with the wider depth of Dubai golf, from the Els Club to Jumeirah Golf Estates and Dubai Creek. Whether the Majlis is a single bucket list round or the centerpiece of a Dubai golf trip, secure the cool season time first and build the rest of the days around it.
