The Els Club at Dubai Sports City is the first golf course in the Middle East designed by US Open and Open Champion, Ernie Els. Already receiving widespread international acclaim, The Els Club takes advantage of dramatic topography resulting in a course that is aesthetically stunning and exciting to play. Stretching 7,538 yards with four sets of tees allowing golfers a selection of differing lengths from which to play, it has set a new benchmark for golf in the region since January 2008.
Set on undulating slopes of native desert vegetation, it is a links style layout combining traditional classic design. In essence the golf course combines the best of all the great clubs Ernie Els has played worldwide over the last 20 years. It creates an extraordinary experience by providing superior service and superb, tournament-spec playing surfaces.
The first release of memberships (150 in total) sold out in a matter of weeks. It is the most successful membership launch ever in the UAE and the program provides the ultimate experience for its Founding Members.
Utilizing the outstanding amenities within Dubai Sports City, such as the only Butch Harmon School of Golf outside of America, a 25,000-seat cricket stadium, 60,000-seat multi-purpose stadium, 10,000-seat Indoor Arena, David Lloyd Tennis Academy and Next Generation Health Club, The Els Club benefits extend far beyond the immaculate fairways and greens. There will also be many opportunities to attend privileged events as the development evolves over time.
The Els Club is the jewel of the residential development, Victory Heights, at Dubai Sport City, the world's first fully integrated athletic metropolis - a destination where the world of sport unites, where people with a passion for the game combine with only the very best in global facilities.
