The Els Club at Dubai Sports City is the first golf course in the Middle East
designed by US Open and Open Champion, Ernie Els.
"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."
- Ernie Els
The course was awarded “Best New International Courses” by Links Magazine in
2008. “The Els Club combines the best of all the great clubs that I have played
worldwide. The golf challenge is second to none. I am really proud of what we have
achieved here. Whether you are an 18 handicap or a scratch golfer, it will be a great
test of golf. This course is something very special. I think you can make a course
challenging for the best players in the world but at the same time enjoyable for the
rest of the world’s golfers. We’ve done that here” Ernie Els 2008
