Royal Palms Golf Course

Without further ado, Ahlan Wa Sahlan presents you with our newest attraction: Royal Palms Golf Course! Designed by the legendary Jack Nicklaus, Royal Palms Golf Course is a top notch golf course exclusive to hotel guests and PGA stars. Royal Palms gives you great ocean-side views, along with taking you inland to give you a combination that can't be matched by any other course in the world. When asked, Nicklaus was very delighted to talk about his newest design: "Royal Palms is truly one of my best designs. I had a great location to do the course and the routing came naturally. I feel like the guests of Dubai will be very happy with this course, as I honestly feel it's one of my best course designs." While the front nine mostly takes you inland, the back 9 takes you out by the water with the signature hole being the closing 18th, a 484 yard par 4. The 18th bends left to right with dunes and ocean right at your side, making it one of the most unique finishing holes in the world today. After your truly opportune experience feel free to stop by the ocean side19th hole for our exquisite gourmet menu and cocktails as you watch the sunset over the Indian Ocean!
