A selection of beautiful new images from Ernie Els Design’s multi-award winning Els Club Dubai, which opened for play in 2008 and is now a thriving members’ club, help showcase the golf course and surroundings in all their glory.

Renowned as one of the best golfing destinations in the UAE, the Els Club Dubai offers a unique experience that every golfer should have on their must-play list, a beautifully manicured golf course that artfully blends the essence of a classic UK links course with a stunning desert landscape.

Writing on social media recently, course architect Ernie Els commented: “The whole team there does a wonderful job on all aspects of club life, not least in the conditioning of the playing surfaces which are consistently of the highest standard.”

It’s the kind of dedication to excellent that has won the club numerous awards since its opening 17 years ago. Most recently recognized as the Best Golf Course in Dubai 2024 by the World Golf Awards and the Best Luxury Golfing Destination in the Middle East at the Global 100 Awards 2024.

In addition to exceptional golfing facilities, visitors can stay and unwind in luxurious holiday rooms, relax by the beautiful country club pool, complete with a swim-up bar, and enjoy mouthwatering dining in 261 (named after Ernie’s record-breaking winning score in the PGA TOUR’s 2003 Mercedes Championship) or the Big Easy Bar & Grill; both complete with panoramic views of the golf course. This is a proper golfing destination!
