The flagship course at Emirates Golf Club, The Majlis championship course is a challenging par 72, 7,301-yard layout. 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 word for 'meeting place'. One of the most prominent features on the course is the Majlis positioned between the 8th and 9th holes, while one of the most challenging holes on the course is the par 4, dogleg 8th. 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 small, undulating green where the dreaded 3-putt is always a threat. The Majlis has developed a worthy reputation worldwide as a testing layout for even the best golfers. This ‘desert miracle’ features hundreds of indigenous species of flora and fauna, beautifully complemented by meandering fairways and seven fresh and saltwater lakes.

One of the best courses in UAE, really difficult and very well maintained. Worth it 100%

Very well maintained. Now it has floodlights for night play greens are very firm and slower than before. Front 9 is very chalenging and under lights is difficult to play unless you know the course. Back 9 is more accessible and does not have as many blind shots.

The Majlis is a superlative course, the best in Dubai (by a hair) over Creek. Long, tough and fair. The Faldo is a good course, although compared to its brother it plays as more of an afterthought. We found the landscape relatively spartan and the setup to be a bit unfair. If you're playing only once, spend the extra $$ and play Majlis.
