The Montgomerie Golf Club – Dubai’s Stylish Desert Links 🌵⛳
Nestled in the ultra‑exclusive Emirates Hills community and paired with the Address Montgomerie Resort, this championship course was designed by Colin Montgomerie alongside master architect Desmond Muirhead. It spans 265 acres—123 of turf, 49 acres of shimmering water across 14 lakes, and 81 artistically shaped bunkers—combining “links‑style” flow with desert chic surroundings .
Course Highlights:
Snake Hole (par‑4, #4): A dramatic saddle‑back fairway dogleg, flanked by bunkers that emulate a serpent’s “eyes” .
UAE‑shaped par‑3 (#13): An imaginative loop of tees encircling an island green—each round feels new.
Test of scale and precision: Massive green complexes, rolling fairways, lush hydrology and occasional desert wind create a challenge that champions strategy over power
Conditions & Experience:
Well‑maintained with consistent upkeep in Dubai’s climate . Greens roll true (often over 9.5 ft speed) and demand finesse The resort provides top‑tier amenities: floodlit academy/Par‑3 course, premium Troon‑managed practice facilities, and elevated hospitality
🎥 Behind the Lens: Dubai Meets Design
Framing shots here blends luxury and landscape. At sunrise, the skyline glimmers beyond lush fairways; mid‑day light dances across water hazards; and dusk reveals dramatic silhouettes over manicured greens. The “Snake” hole’s sweeping dogleg lends cinematic lines, while the island‑green par‑3 offers iconic, almost surreal, composition angles. The contrast between Montecristo‑style bunkering, waterfront elegance, and desert backdrop makes every image a story.
One standout moment: capturing a practice swing on the range with the skyline towering—Dubai perfection meets golf precision Plus, sharing the course’s sense of exclusivity—hidden villas, lush foliage, seamless surroundings—adds a luxe narrative to both playthroughs and photo essays.
