Enjoy Dubai’s finest golf experience on the championship 18-hole Al Badia course, designed by celebrated golf architect Robert Trent Jones II. Capturing the character and beauty of Arabia, the finely manicured grounds showcase a magical desert oasis theme, including 11 lakes, several ponds and numerous cascading waterfalls. Plants and trees are indigenous to the Arabian Gulf, while the “rivers of sand” concept adds further texture to the design – providing a visual extension of the lakes and streams. A challenge for the seasoned golfer, Al Badia also welcomes the recreational player. The par-72, 7,303-yard course offers four tee positions on each hole, giving every handicap an appropriate level of play.

Dedicated “on and around the green” practice areas include a floodlit driving range, chipping area and practice putting green.

High-tech facilities include the region’s only TaylorMade Performance Lab and MATT swing analysis and club fitting system, and an indoor Science and Motion putting laboratory (SAM PuttLab) to improve putting skills. Under the guidance of Head Golf Professional Jason Froggatt – Fellow of the PGA – the golf academy offers a range of individual and packaged lessons, social and junior clinics, as well as corporate clinics and schools.
