Dubai Luxury Golf — The Finest Five-Star Stays

Dubai is the region's golf hub, with immaculate grass courses carved from the desert. Emirates Golf Club, whose Majlis course has long hosted professional tour events, is the city's best-known address, and Dubai Creek Golf and Yacht Club offers waterfront holes close to the old city. Most golfers base themselves near Dubai Marina or Jumeirah for quick access to the major courses, and tee off early outside the coolest months.
