Choose flights from Dublin, Cork or Shannon to the United Arab Emirates for a fantastic golfing holiday.

The UAE is home to some fantastic, world-class golf courses, with great facilities and luxurious accommodation. Fly from Ireland for a fully-tailormade golfing holiday to Dubai, Abu Dhabi or both!

Known for its eye-catching modern architecture, great nightlife, luxury shopping and world-class attractions, Dubai is also home to some fantastic golf courses. Combine a day of play with an evening of delicious food, wonderful entertainment and luxury accommodation at some of the world's best hotels.

The capital city of the UAE, Abu Dhabi offers a more traditionally Arabic flavour than outlandish Dubai. That's not to say Abu Dhabi doesn't have its share of ultra modern towers and luxury shopping malls! Besides rounds of golf at some great courses, visitors can also learn about the city's ancient history. Taking a rest day from the links? Experience Bedouin life and culture with the locals on a guided tour. 

Whether you choose Dubai or Abu Dhabi- or choose a multi-part trip with stays in each city- a golfing holiday to the United Arab Emirates is sure to be memorable. 

Read on for our recommended golf courses to visit, and hotels to stay in. Our golf holidays are fully customisable- let us know what you want and we'll create the perfect experience for groups of any size.

Emirates Golf Club - Majlis Course

Opened in 1988, the Majlis Course was the first 18-hole golf course in the Middle East. Designed by Karl Litten, the green fairways feature a gently undulating terrain, and the sumptuous clubhouse recalls traditional Bedouin tents.

Regarded as one of the best layouts in the UAE, this coruse is framed by tall sand dunes. Players will enjoy facing the numerous fresh and saltwater lakes and fast greens.

Emirates Golf Club - Faldo Course

Opened in 1996 as the second championship course at Emirates GC, the Faldo Course was redesigned by the legend in 2006 and renamed in his honour. 

This course is a real challenge, with dramatic bunkers from tee to green. There are wide fairways and sizable greens, with 14 lakes strategically positioned throughout. Course management and accuracy are key here. 

Dubai Creek Course

Opened in 1993, the Dubai Creek Course offers lush green fairways along the shores of the creek. There's an award-winning clubhouse and players will enjoy stunning views over Dubai Marina.

Water plays a large part in this course design. There's an 18-hole Championship course which is complemented by a 9-hole course. This all means Dubai Creek Course offers challenges for every level of player.

Suggested hotel: 5* Park Hyatt Dubai is within easy reach of the Dubai Creek Course.

Abu Dhabi Golf Club

A 27-hole championship course which offers an oasis of serenity in the arid desert. Designed by Peter Harradine, this course offers challenges for all skill levels, surrounded by stunning beauty.

Opened in 2010 and designed by top designer Kyle Philips, this 18-hole course is located on Yas Island. There's also a 9-hole par 3 course and great practice facilites, making this an ideal golf destination for all abilities.
