Who it suits
Marquee golf, concierge comfort
Dubai suits the golfer who wants tournament courses and genuine luxury in the same short week. You can play the Majlis where the Desert Classic is decided and the Earth course that closes the DP World Tour season, then return to a beach resort, a spa and a restaurant worth dressing for.
It works beautifully for couples, for a small group of friends who like their comfort, and for anyone pairing golf with the wider city. The courses sit close together, transfers are smooth, and floodlit evening golf lets you play in the cooler air after a lazy morning.
The Dubai courses to build around
Five championship layouts, each a short transfer apart, anchor a luxury Dubai week. Lead with the two tournament courses, then fill out the trip with the city's most polished resorts.
02
Jumeirah Golf Estates, Earth
Host of the season ending DP World Tour Championship and the Race to Dubai finale. Wide, immaculate and tactically demanding, with a water lined closing stretch that has settled many a title.
03
Trump International Golf Club Dubai
A Gil Hanse design with rolling Bermuda fairways and a links feel transplanted to the desert. Dramatic, beautifully conditioned and floodlit for evening rounds.
04
Dubai Hills Golf Club
A modern parkland in the heart of the new city, Troon managed and polished, with skyline views of the Burj Khalifa from several holes. An easy, enjoyable round between the tougher tests.
05
Dubai Creek Golf and Yacht Club
The iconic sail shaped clubhouse on the creek, central, floodlit and steeped in history as an early Desert Classic venue. A convenient city round with a marina backdrop.
Indicative green fees and package range
Dubai sits at the premium end of resort golf, and green fees on the marquee courses have climbed in recent seasons. Most luxury trips bundle rounds into a stay and play package with a five star hotel, which softens the headline rates. The figures below are walk up high season prices.

|---|---|---|
| Emirates Golf Club, Majlis | Championship | $290 to $410 |
| Jumeirah Golf Estates, Earth | Championship | $270 to $390 |

| Dubai Hills | Parkland | $180 to $290 |
| Dubai Creek | Parkland | $180 to $280 |

When to book
A cool season destination
Dubai golf is a winter game. November to March brings warm, dry days that are perfect for play, while the shoulder weeks of October and April are still comfortable, especially with early or twilight tee times. Midsummer is intensely hot, and most golf then moves to dawn or floodlit evenings.
The premium weeks around the Desert Classic in January and the school holidays fill early, so book the marquee courses and the best suites well ahead. A concierge can secure tee times on the tournament courses that are hard to land independently.
Luxury Dubai golf: common questions
Which Dubai golf course should I prioritise?
Lead with the two tournament courses: the Majlis at Emirates Golf Club, home of the Dubai Desert Classic, and the Earth course at Jumeirah Golf Estates, host of the DP World Tour Championship. Together they are the heart of a luxury Dubai golf week.
When is the best time for a Dubai golf holiday?
November to March is the cool season and by far the best time to play, with warm, dry days. October and April still work with early or twilight tee times. Midsummer is very hot, so play moves to dawn or floodlit evening rounds.
How much are green fees in Dubai in 2026?
Indicative high season green fees on the marquee courses run roughly $250 to $410, with parkland courses lower and twilight cheaper. Most luxury trips bundle rounds into a stay and play package. Always confirm directly before booking.
Can you play golf in the evening in Dubai?
Yes. Several Dubai courses, including Trump International and Dubai Creek, are floodlit for evening golf, which is the ideal way to play in the cooler air after a relaxed morning by the pool or the beach.
Is Dubai good for a couples or mixed group trip?
Very much so. Beyond the golf there are world class spas, beaches, desert safaris, the Burj Khalifa, fine dining and shopping, so non golfers and couples have a full week between rounds.
