Overview

The Els Club

Ernie Els has a passion for the great links courses of the UK, where he has won two of his 4 major championships, and in creating the Els Club Dubai he set about recreating some of these design features in a desert landscape. Thus a ‘desert links’ was born, one that was quickly named ‘best new international course’ by the prestigious US magazine, Links.

The course features pleasing undulations and strong elevation changes for visual and strategic interest. Extensive use of sandy waste areas and of native grasses and vegetation between wide fairways, along with a classic style of bunkering, add to the links effect. The perfectly manicured playing surfaces can be enjoyed 365 days of the year.
The holes all constitute characteristics from Els’ favourite courses around the world; bunkers from Royal Melbourne, greens resembling Pinehurst No. 2 and wide, rolling links fairways. Combine this with strategically placed tee-boxes, strong course management, soft sand, hard sand and carefully-developed undulation, and you are presented with a true masterpiece in golf course design.

  • The Course
    Stretching 7,538 yards with four sets of tees, allowing players a selection of differing lengths from which to play, the course offers a challenging round to all.
  • Practice Facilities
    Complete with fully lit driving range, a magnificent short game area with 2 different pitching greens, 3 bunkers and numerous angles from which to sharpen your game and 2 putting greens.
  • Dining
    Bar & Restaurant 261 is the perfect place to unwind after a round of golf or to watch the sunset. The Big Easy is an unpretentious bar & grill hailing from the stunning Western Cape region of South Africa – inspired by the lifestyle and spirit of Ernie Els.
