The Majlis Championship course
| The
original home of the Dubai Desert Classic
and the flagship course of Emirates Golf
Club, The Majlis Championship course is
a challenging par 72, 7200-yard course.
Sculptured around the original tall desert
dunes in 1987, The Majlis was the first
grass course in the Middle East and takes
its name from the Arabic for 'meeting place'.
Indeed, one of the most prominent features
on the course is the Majlis building itself,
positioned between the 8th and 9th holes.
The
8th hole, a par 4 dogleg is The Majlis'
most unusual hole. Stroke index 3 and
playing a full 434 yards, it has the unusual
distinction of playing up-hill and requires
a long, well directed drive to leave a
reasonable second shot to its well protected
green.

The
Wadi'
|
Emirates
Golf Club's second Championship golf course
was opened in 1996 and was christened
'The Wadi', taken from the Arabic for
'valley'. A landscaped wadi between the
7th and 8th holes highlights the traditional
name given to the course. The Wadi continues
in the same vein as The Majlis with its
undulating fairways and landscape.
Given
the unenviable task of competing with
The Majlis, The Wadi performs admirably
and more than acquits itself. Another
challenging layout, The Wadi tempts the
average golfer with its space and large
greens, which are cleverly protected by
fourteen lakes and numerous bunkers. The
Wadi is very popular locally and eagerly
lures players to the challenge of its
7127-yards.
