The
original home
of the Dubai
Desert Classic
and the flagship
course of Emirates
Golf Club, The
Majlis Championship
course is a
challenging
par 72, 7200-yard
course. Sculptured
around the original
tall desert
dunes in 1987,
The Majlis was
the first grass
course in the
Middle East
and takes its
name from the
Arabic for 'meeting
place'. Indeed,
one of the most
prominent features
on the course
is the Majlis
building itself,
positioned between
the 8th and
9th holes.
The
8th hole, a
par 4 dogleg
is The Majlis'
most unusual
hole. Stroke
index 3 and
playing a full
434 yards, it
has the unusual
distinction
of playing up-hill
and requires
a long, well
directed drive
to leave a reasonable
second shot
to its well
protected green.
