The Majlis Championship course

The original home of the Dubai Desert Classic and the flagship course of Emirates Golf Club, The Majlis Championship course is a challenging par 72, 7200-yard course. Sculptured around the original tall desert dunes in 1987, The Majlis was the first grass course in the Middle East and takes its name from the Arabic for 'meeting place'. Indeed, one of the most prominent features on the course is the Majlis building itself, positioned between the 8th and 9th holes.

The 8th hole, a par 4 dogleg is The Majlis' most unusual hole. Stroke index 3 and playing a full 434 yards, it has the unusual distinction of playing up-hill and requires a long, well directed drive to leave a reasonable second shot to its well protected green.

The Wadi

Emirates Golf Club's second Championship golf course was opened in 1996 and was christened 'The Wadi', taken from the Arabic for 'valley'. A landscaped wadi between the 7th and 8th holes highlights the traditional name given to the course. The Wadi continues in the same vein as The Majlis with its undulating fairways and landscape.

Given the unenviable task of competing with The Majlis, The Wadi performs admirably and more than acquits itself. Another challenging layout, The Wadi tempts the average golfer with its space and large greens, which are cleverly protected by fourteen lakes and numerous bunkers. The Wadi is very popular locally and eagerly lures players to the challenge of its 7127-yards.
