| The
original home of the Dubai Desert Classic and
the flagship course of Emirates Golf Club, The
Majlis Championship course is a challenging
par 72, 7200-yard course. 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 for
'meeting place'. Indeed, one of the most prominent
features on the course is the Majlis building
itself, positioned between the 8th and 9th holes.
The
8th hole, a par 4 dogleg is The Majlis' most
unusual hole. 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
well protected green. |
