Its location overlooking the creek and marina means it was difficult not to end up with a fairly spectacular course here.
The creek is in play on four holes – and is augmented by several artificial lakes – and the climax is arguably the best stretch of golf in Dubai.
Opened in January 1993, it has hosted to numerous events including two Dubai Desert Classics.
While it is aesthetically pleasing, with lush fairways lined by date palms, coconut trees, and shrubbery, it is a serious test – especially when the wind blows up ‘the channel’ in the afternoon.
Thomas Bjorn’s redesign – including the tee that floats above the water of the marina – stiffened the challenge further at this course in the heart of the city, next to the airport.
The finish is spectacular but can also be a real disappointment to those with a match in their hands or a good score on their card: the creek is all the way up the left of the short par-4 17th and then seems to be forever in your mind on 18, but especially on the approach.
As at Emirates GC, the clubhouse is notable, its design mirroring the sails of the Arab dhow. As well as excellent golfers’ grub, at Dubai Creek you will also enjoy the proactive and efficient, but never overly fussy, service of the staff.
