“Arabian Ranches will always be close to my heart, as it was the first place I worked when leaving Loch Lomond for Dubai in 2014.

It’s a tremendous members club and as soon as you step foot into the luxurious Spanish colonial clubhouse, you feel welcomed and right at home.

The food and beverage at Arabian Ranches are second to none. They have the newly renovated Ranches Restaurant with a large terrace looking over the 9th and 18th greens and Birdies Sports Bar which is at the academy – fully fitted with indoor swing room, pool table and terrace.

Then they also have a fantastic Italian restaurant on site called Maison Mathis. So plenty of options for a few beers and dinner as the sun goes down over the links, once you’ve got all the sand out of your shoes!”

“As a personal favourite, everybody on a Dubai golf holiday simply must play The Els Club. Very well known for many years now as the most pristine and manicured course in the region, as soon as you walk into the courtyard on arrival, you’re greeted by the most amazing view of the putting green, 9th and 18th. It almost looks like a fine water painting!”

“The superlatives also don’t end with the course condition, The Els Club have just had Claude Harmon lll take over from his father, Butch Harmon, in the academy. Many of the worlds top professionals use The Els Club as a base and in turn, you can get your game in tip top shape here.”
