The Els Club at Dubai Sports City

The Els Club at Dubai Sports City is a semi-private, 18-hole desert links course in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, designed by Ernie Els. Rated 4.7 by 100+ Hole19 golfers, it draws consistent praise from those who play it. The layout stretches from 5,343 to 7,538 yards across terrain marked by pleasing undulations, strong elevation changes, sandy waste areas, native grasses and vegetation, wide fairways, and classic-style bunkering. Practice facilities are extensive. The floodlit driving range runs 450 yards with six greens to aim at, each marked by its own distance flag, and is open seven days a week from 6:30 AM to 9:00 PM. The short-game area has two course-standard greens and three full-size bunkers; it is complimentary with a green fee or available for AED 175 daily. The Big Easy Bar and Grill serves expertly cooked meats, curated fine wines, and fresh ingredient dishes in a setting inspired by South Africa's Western Cape atmosphere. The Golf Shop stocks equipment and offers Callaway rental club sets on a chargeable basis, subject to availability.
