We all have it happen that, when we think of Dubai, we are struck by imposing skyscrapers, impressive shopping centres and, above all, a lot of luxury and exclusivity. Therefore, it is not surprising that this city in the United Arab Emirates has become one of the best places in the world to play golf.
Why is Dubai considered a paradise among golf lovers?
There are many reasons that explain it. The first one has to do with the fact that it hosts 12 18-hole golf courses. In addition, three of them are considered among the top 10 in the world. Quite something. In any case, all of them have the latest technology and are located in privileged places. Both in the middle of the desert and on the seashore.
Much of this success lies in what surrounds the golf courses. Most of the enthusiasts of this sport who come here book in luxury hotels equipped with spectacular casinos. In them they can get tips to win at virtual roulette if they prefer to play from the comfort of their rooms, but also spend unforgettable evenings accompanied by good music, haute cuisine food and, above all, a lot of fun and excitement.
In any case, the most impressive of all these golf courses is the Arabian Ranches Golf Club, which has more than 7,000 square meters of extension. Those who have visited it assure that the best time of the day to play is at sunset, as the views of the surroundings leave you speechless.
Another case worth mentioning is the Emirates Golf Club, which is considered the first golf course in the Middle East. To give us an idea of its grandeur, it is enough to say that it has 14 artificial lakes and 81 bunkers.
The best tournaments in the world are also held here
Proof of the quality of Dubai’s golf courses is that some of the most important tournaments in the world are held in the city. This is the case, for example, of the DP World Tour Championships, the Omega Dubai Desert Classic and the Omega Dubai Moonlight Classic.
Special mention deserves the Dubai Creek Golf and Yacht Club, especially among amateur players. The reason? It challenges all those who visit it to achieve a ‘hole in one’. If they succeed, they can enjoy interesting gifts, among which exclusive dinners in their restaurants or even free stays for several days stand out.
In any case, it is clear that Dubai has managed to carve out an important niche in the international golf scene. Within its territory are some of the best golf courses in the world in terms of the quality of their services. This, coupled with the strong investment made by local authorities, has led the city to host some of the most important tournaments on the circuit and to attract the best players on the planet. Something incredible for a place located in the middle of the desert.
