Trump International Golf Club Dubai

Gil Hanse’s 18-hole championship course is the centrepiece at Trump International Golf Club, Dubai, set within DAMAC Hills. The round is built for golfers who want a proper championship test rather than a quick resort loop, with every hole forming part of a full 18-hole sequence. It is a useful course to study before travelling, and the club’s online tour gives a clear sense of the layout before the first tee. Tuition is available through the on-site academy, making it a sensible base for a group with differing handicaps or for anyone keen to spend some time sharpening up between rounds.

The golf day need not finish when the sun goes down. Alongside the main course, the club has a floodlit nine-hole par-three course, offering a relaxed second game after dinner or a shorter evening with wedges and irons. It brings a different pace to a holiday based around the championship course, particularly when a full afternoon round is not on the plan. Food and drink are part of the club routine too, with dining menus available on site for a meal before play, a post-round drink or an unhurried evening after night golf. Dubai provides the wider setting for the stay, while DAMAC Hills keeps the golf at the centre of the day.
