Emirates Golf Club (Faldo Course), UAE1

Emirates Golf Club’s second championship golf course, which opened in 1996, was named ‘The Wadi’, taken from the Arabic word for ‘valley’. Redesigned in 2005 by golf legend and six-time major winner Nick Faldo, the course now combines a stunning visual design with the nuances and challenges of any championship course in just the right measure, providing visitors an exceptionally enjoyable golfing experience.

The new course was re-named ‘The Faldo’ when it re-opened in October 2006. A par-72, the course has proved to be as popular as its predecessor and lures players to the challenge of its 7,052 yards.

A natural wadi running the length of the course comes in to play without being classified as a hazard , and along with Faldo’s trademark tees and bunkers are combined with the naturally rugged terrain to create a unique golfing experience. ‘The Faldo’ has surpassed all of its expectations and is regarded as one of the finest courses in Dubai.
