World Golf Guides: United Arab Emirates

image: UAE flag in Dubai

Golf in the United Arab Emirates is a marvel of invention and ingenuity unrivalled in the world. What other nation would ever consider building a golf course in a land which has only a few days of rain each year, daytime temperatures shooting to 120F, humidity swelling to 80 percent, and with few endemic blades of grass within the 50,000 square miles of its borders? Despite these natural inconveniences, there are more than a dozen courses within a flourishing golf industry. There are magnificent championship courses designed by the likes of Nicklaus, Montgomerie and Ian Baker Finch; all-sand desert courses where you carry your own Astroturf and putt on "browns" instead of greens; and fully floodlit courses for play into the cooler nights.
