"The Els Club Dubai really feels like my home club away from home. Whenever I'm in that part of the world I practice there and play there. The Desert links design makes it a very special golf course and everyone at Ernie Els Design is understandably proud of what we've achieved. I think it's a strong test for players of all standards and in my view there's no better venue for the finals of The Matchplay Championship."

Welcome to the home of the
Matchplay Championship

We are delighted to announce that the venue for the 2010-11 Grand Final will be the magnificent Dubai Marriott Harbour Hotel. The Matchplay Championship event itself will be staged on the fairways of the world famous Els Club, Dubai – the first golf course in the Middle East designed by Ernie Els, winner of a record seven World Matchplay titles.

The 36 Grand Finalists will enjoy a week’s accommodation at the luxurious Dubai Marriott Harbour Hotel – the exotic jewel of the United Arab Emirates and the competition will be played over three days at The Els Club.
