Montgomerie Dubai
Address Montgomerie, Dubai is home to a big, expansive and open layout, a golfing oasis bounded throughout by large villas, and dotted with occasional palms and small trees within the course. The luxury residences should not come into play, they are thankfully set well back from the prodigious roller-coaster earth mounding that defines the often generously wide fairways.
Your golfing senses will be thoroughly absorbed in Monty's challenging design, which contains its fair share of good-sized water hazards, not least at the par-5 18th that snakes its way through water left and right. Mischievously sloping greens, elevated tee-boxes and substantive greenside and fairway bunkering are also strong components of most holes.
Among many interesting features, is a hand-shaped bunker at the par-3 17th and a gigantic UAE-shaped green at the par-3 13th (see Did You Know section below). This green is surrounded by water on virtually all sides, the water is in turn surrounded by the teeing ground, which forms a near complete circle around the hole.
Scottish links meets Arabian desert is how the literature defines this course - you can make up your own mind on that score, but when in Dubai don't miss out on one of its best and most imaginative designs.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance. Maximum handicap: men 28, women 36. Proof of handicap may be requested.
Non-metal spike facility.
Excellent
The Montgomerie course used to be able to boast the largest green in the world, a vast acreage at the par-3 13th hole that reflected the shape of the UAE. Nowadays the actual putting surface is cut to about half its original size.
The golf course and facilities at Address Montgomerie are managed and operated by Troon Golf, a world leader in upscale golf course management.

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with five wins out of her last five starts on the LPGA Tour. Winning the Chevron Championship also brought the second major championship win of her career.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda's five wins in five starts, when he placed second at the Houston Open. Either side of that, he won The Arnold Palmer, The Players, and then The Masters and The Heritage.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
