While a golf connoisseur does expect the best of off-course facilities, nothing excites him as much as the quality of the golf courses itself. And whether it is the design, the ambience, the challenge level, the efficiency of operations, or the immaculate maintenance it just doesn’t get any better than at Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club. The par 71 course that measures 6,857 yards is a memorable journey from the first tee to the 18th green. The superbly manicured fairways are undulating, demarcated by mounds, date and palm trees, and most other times by water. Apart from the Creek, which comes into play on at least four holes, several artificial lakes add to the beauty and difficulty of various other holes.
