The Els Club - Dubai


Course Overview

This is a unique desert-links style golf course designed by Ernie Els, blending traditional British and Australian links features into a desert landscape. This course is known for its rolling fairways, extensive bunkering reminiscent of Australia’s sandbelt courses, and greens inspired by the challenging surfaces at Pinehurst No. 2. The course’s design takes full advantage of the undulating desert terrain and native grasses, creating visual depth and strategic options while maintaining a beautifully open landscape that appeals to golfers at all skill levels. The Els Club is complemented by excellent facilities, including a fully lit driving range, a top-tier short game practice area, and dining options like the Big Easy Bar & Grill, inspired by Els' South African heritage.
