About Emirates Golf Club - Faldo Course

The Faldo Course is Emirates Golf Club's second 18-hole championship layout in Dubai. The course originally opened in 1996 as The Wadi, using the Arabic word for valley, and was subsequently redesigned by six-time major champion Nick Faldo before taking his name. Dubai Golf currently lists it as a par-72, 7,052-yard course.

A distinguishing operational feature is night golf, with floodlighting allowing rounds after dark. The layout uses extensive bunkering, water and shaped landing areas characteristic of the Faldo redesign. Green fees vary dynamically through Dubai Golf's booking system rather than being presented as a single fixed public rate on the course page.

The course is an 18-hole resort golf course. It plays to par 72, 6,448m (7,052 yards). Designed by Nick Faldo, the course originally opened in 1996. It is open to the public. On-site facilities include Driving range, Golf academy, Pro shop, Clubhouse, Restaurants, Night golf.

Origins

Emirates Golf Club's second championship course opened in 1996 under the name The Wadi, an Arabic term for valley.

Design Philosophy

Nick Faldo's later redesign reshaped the course around strategic bunkering, water and demanding approach angles. The routing was subsequently renamed in his honour.

Development

The most significant change in the course's history was the Faldo redesign and renaming. Floodlighting also gave the course a distinctive role in Dubai by enabling championship-length night golf.

Today

The Faldo is one of two full-length championship courses at Emirates Golf Club and operates alongside the Majlis and Par 3 Academy Course.
