About The Els Club Dubai

The Els Club at Dubai Sports City is the first golf course in the Middle East designed by three time Major Champion Ernie Els. From the tips, the course stretches 7,538 yards with 81 beautifully shaped bunkers and sublime contoured greens providing a real test for the professional and at the same time, an equally fair challenge for the average players from the forward tees. Having received awards from Troon Golf, Links Magazine, Golf Inc., CNBC, Golf Digest and others, the world’s first Els Club is well on its way to achieving international acclaim since its opening in 2008. The club is also complemented by the state-of-the-art Butch Harmon School of Golf featuring all TPI certified instructors, video and 3D analysis along four large indoor hitting bays. As many of its Members along with European, Asian and PGA Tour players have already found out, The Els Club sets a new benchmark for golf in the region.

"I am delighted to introduce you to The Els Club at Dubai Sports City. It is a very exciting development and I am proud of the golf course design we have created. Right from the start we knew we wanted to embrace the uniqueness of the amazing environment and incorporate the natural dunes and native plants. There is a genuine sense that you are playing golf in the desert. The course is challenging for the best players in the world but at the same time enjoyable for all golfers. It combines the best of all the great clubs that I have played worldwide, the golf challenge is second to none." Ernie Els
