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.
