Course Description
The breathtaking Arabian Ranches
residential development on the outskirts of town, offers an alternative
to the usual golf courses of Dubai. Similar to a links course
in concept, it is an exclusive grass course located in the middle
of the desert, which features a natural desert terrain with no
landscaping. Miss the immaculate grass of the fairways and greens
and you enter the “sandy waste” with its indigenous
shrubs and bushes. All standards of golfer will appreciate the
GPS (Global Positioning System) yardage service available on every
golf cart. The golf course houses the Golf Academy which hosts
a practice facility with swing rooms that open to the driving
range, short game area, putting green and 3-hole pitch and putt.
The clubhouse hosts the Ranches Restaurant and Bar, a pro shop,
grand lobby area, the Baker-Finch Room complimented by a terrace
and the Birkdale Bar. Within the clubhouse are 11 luxurious guest
rooms with spectacular views overlooking either the golf course
or the lake.
