Dubai, United Arab Emirates
In Dubai’s Barsha Heights, on Hessa Street, Radisson Blu Hotel, Dubai Barsha Heights makes a practical base for a golf break built around the city’s leading courses. Emirates Golf Club is around five minutes away, while Dubai Hills Golf Club and the courses of Jumeirah Golf Estates are within easy reach. The five-star hotel has 536 rooms and suites, giving the stay a substantial resort feel without taking you away from Dubai’s restaurants, malls and evening life. Dubai Airport is around 30 minutes by road, useful for a short break where the focus is on fitting in as many good rounds as possible.
The nearby Majlis Course at Emirates Golf Club is the natural starting point. A European Tour host venue, it brings the Dubai skyline into view during the round and offers a proper championship test close to the hotel. The Faldo Course is another Emirates option, while Jumeirah Golf Estates’ Earth Course adds a further tournament pedigree to the schedule. Other established rounds within reach include The Els Club Dubai, Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club, Montgomerie Golf Club Dubai and Trump International Golf Club Dubai, so it is easy to shape a varied week without lengthy transfers between tee times.
Back at the hotel, a temperature-controlled pool is a welcome place to loosen off after golf, with a gym, sauna, steam room and massage treatments also on hand. Five dining and drinking venues cover Italian, British and international cooking. Connexions works well for an à la carte dinner, while The Terrace and Prego’s both make the most of outdoor seating when the evening cools. Happy hours and themed evenings give the hotel some life between rounds, rather than leaving you to head elsewhere after every day on the course.
