| Description |
On the fringe of the city, Emirates Golf Club is an
oasis of green and was voted the number one course on the
European PGA tour by the competitors of the Dubai Desert Classic.
It is designed to be both challenging and fair, and is equally
playable by leading professionals and the weekend golfer.
The Majlis: With imposing fairways and large, immaculate
greens, the course will provide a formidable challenge for
any golfer. The lush fairways bend into doglegs, switch direction
and wind round the six lakes throughout this course, creating
obstacles for nine of the holes.
The Wadi tempts the average golfer with its space
and large greens, which are protected by fourteen lakes and
daunting bunkers.
These courses are far from straightforward to negotiate,
and your club selection will have to be precise, while your
approach shots must be accurate to avoid the many water hazards,
trees and rough. Varied wildlife
The Desert Classic is firmly established on the European Tour
calendar. |
