The Dubai Golf Experience
Premium courses, luxurious hotels, and beautiful weather. It's no wonder Dubai has become a golf holiday magnet in recent years it hosts European Tours and the DP World Tour Championship, so why not host your own tour with the gang?
The desert terrain compliments the game nicely, with architects adding water hazards throughout to complete the experience and sometimes imitating a classic links style.
Best Places For A Dubai Golf Holiday
Dubai is awesome, no matter where you stay. However, a good shout for the best golf location would be staying near Jumeirah, a coastal area swamped with some of the Middle East's number-one hotels and premium fairways. Head over to the Emirates Golf Club for the legendary night golf experience.

Tips For Golf Holidays In Dubai
Weather
The Dubai is absolutely scorching during the summer months. From June to August, temperatures reach the low 40s or high 30s on average. Many who fly out for golf in these months opt for night golf or the early tee-offs for cooler temperatures.
Many recommend visiting from November to February, where it averages from 15-20 degrees, and you'll still catch winter sun while topping up your tan.
Golf Courses
The stellar Dubai golf course is Trump International Golf Club. A format replicating a links course (everybody's favourite) but suitable for a group of mixed abilities. Now that's not a combination you find often.
Let's not forget the 19th hole. It's the bee's knees: a giant sports bar providing world-class entertainment and an awesome food and drink menu. Quality swing oil is vital.
Best Time Of Year
Now, this depends on preference. On average, it rains 7 times a year in Dubai, so whether you're booking Christmas golf, your typical summer blowout, or winter golf to cure the New Year blues, stunning weather is guaranteed.
For those who can't hack the heat, we recommend going between November and February. But don't worryyou'll get that tan you want. It's always sunny in the UAE. Check here for further details on general travel.
