Construction of the 18-hole par-72 championship golf course, designed by European Golf Design of Dubai Hills Golf Club, is complete with work on the clubhouse marking brisk progress.
The golf course is set on 119ha – nearly the size of 63 football fields – and meanders through a series of valleys and wadis, and around a network of lakes to create a stunning golfing experience. It is set against the Downtown Dubai skyline with the Burj Khalifa in the backdrop.
Adding to the choice of residents in Dubai Hills Estate, Dubai Hills Golf Club is central to the mega-development’s lifestyle ethos. With numerous premium villas and townhouses set around the golf course, residents become part of a lush-green community.
Dubai Hills Estate is a fully integrated community that offers residents access to world-class choices. The Dubai Hills Golf Club adds to an array of attractions including the Dubai Hills Mall, which will offer over 650 retail and F&B outlets, family entertainment, a cineplex and hypermarket, and a vibrant Boulevard, which offers diverse social experiences including cafes, restaurants, recreational facilities, art studios, and retail options.
A differentiating strength of Dubai Hills Golf Club is the Academy Building, which sits at the heart of the spacious floodlit practice facility. It will serve as a service point for golfers arriving early and will feature two golf studios, teaching bays, and an F&B kiosk. The practice facility also includes a 220m long warm-up area with multiple target greens designed to allow golfers to practice shots from wedge up to medium-long irons before going out to play.
The warm-up area can also be converted into a nine-hole short course in the evenings. Additionally, the facility will include a dedicated short game area where golfers can hone their chipping and a large practice putting green. The course will be maintained using recycled water and has been planted with Platinum TE Paspalum (greens) and Pure Dynasty Seeded Paspalum (tees and fairways) along with a wide array of lush desert landscaping.
