Visitors interested in a
different golfing experience
may like to arrange a game
on sand at the Dubai Country
Club, the oldest course in
the emirates, which features
“browns”, instead of
“greens”. Golfers carry a
small piece of artificial
turf with them, and use it
to play off when on the
fairways.
Dubai’s third grass course,
with its links course
straddling the Nad Al Shiba
horse racing circuit and
venue for the annual Dubai
World Cup, the richest horse
race in the world. The club
offers the only fully
floodlit 18-hole course
along with a floodlit
driving range in the Middle
East and night-time golf has
proved very popular.
