Iconic shots of Tiger Woods hitting drives off the helipad of the world's tallest hotel, the Burj Al Arab, ushered in a new era for Dubai as one of the most admired and desired destinations in the golf world. Some called the Woods shot in 2004 miraculous, but the true miracle occurred 15 years earlier in 1989 when the Emirates Golf Club rose out of the middle of the desert for members and visitors to golf in Dubai on a grass course for the very first time.
The desert miracle known as Dubai golf was born, and the European Tour arrived shortly after with the Dubai Desert Classic, attracting the world's best golfers to the Majlis Course.
The flagship course at Emirates Golf Club, The Majlis championship course is a challenging par 72, 7,301-yard layout. Designed by Florida-based course architect Karl Litten, the original 18 holes were built in and around the dunes of a beautiful site on the edge of the city of Dubai, donated by His Highness General Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, on whose instructions the desert flora was maintained in its natural state.
The Majlis course has developed a worthy reputation worldwide as a testing layout for even the best golfers. The course features hundreds of indigenous species of flora and fauna, beautifully complemented by meandering fairways and seven fresh and saltwater lakes.
The Majlis, the first grass course in the Middle East, takes its name from the Arabic word for 'meeting place'. One of the most prominent features on the course is the Majlis building itself positioned between the 8th and 9th holes and a Dubai landmark since 1988.
