The Dubai Creek & Yacht Club captured significant global attention when it opened in 1993, a time when golf in the UAE was still in its infancy. Located just minutes from the international airport, the club offers an impressive golfing experience.
The course features well-groomed fairways and greens, presenting a challenging test from the tournament tees. However, it plays a bit easier from the forward tees, making it suitable for golfers of all levels, whether they’re competing in the Desert Classic or enjoying a round during their holiday.
The par-three course, beautifully illuminated at night, along with extensive practice facilities, ensures that Dubai Creek is a memorable golf destination. The clubhouse has garnered awards worldwide, and with the lush green fairways bordering the creek, the club is undeniably distinctive.
The design features an unusual prominence of water for a desert course. The creek influences four holes, including the unique 6th, where golfers tee off from a platform on the water, while artificial lakes add to the challenge. Spectacular views abound, showcasing the water, the city’s skyline, and the sail-shaped clubhouse that highlights the connection to the creek.
