What Has Opened
The course is designed for experienced golfers, beginners and families. Emaar says the club will host tournaments, member competitions, sporting events, and corporate and society golf days. When the course opened on 5 October, Emaar said the food and beverage outlet and golf shop would follow soon after. Golfers should check on the club's website which clubhouse services are running before they visit. The club also has a no single-use plastic bottle policy, with refill stations around the course.
"This is more than a new Golf Course; it is a thoughtfully designed destination that brings together championship-level sport, quality hospitality, and a strong sense of community," said Hakan Keskin, Leader of Hospitality at Emaar Hospitality Group. He said the club is meant to appeal to "residents, families, and visitors seeking a premium leisure experience in one of Dubai's fastest-growing communities."
Why the Golf Course Matters for Emaar South Property
Emaar has marketed Emaar South as a golf community from the start, and most of its neighbourhoods are planned around the course. Until now, buyers were paying for golf views that only existed in renders. Here's what changes now that the club is open:
- Golf-front homes are now actually golf-front. Owners and tenants of homes facing the course can see and use a working championship course. That usually helps resale and rental demand for those units.
- The community feels more finished. A working clubhouse, restaurant and practice area give residents somewhere to go inside the community. Families and long-term tenants look for exactly this kind of amenity.
- It is a sign Emaar is delivering. Emaar said in September that the club would start operating in the final quarter of 2026, and it opened in early October. That is useful when you judge delivery timelines for Emaar South phases still under construction.

The Bigger Picture: Dubai South and Al Maktoum Airport
Emaar South is in Dubai South, close to Expo City Dubai and Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC), with access via Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Expo Road. In April 2024, Dubai approved designs for a new AED 128 billion passenger terminal at Al Maktoum International, planned for an eventual capacity of 260 million passengers a year. The Dubai Media Office said in June 2026 that the first phase is on track to begin operations in 2032. As the airport grows, more people will need to live nearby, and Emaar South is one of the established master communities closest to it.
What It Means for Owners, Buyers and Investors
If you own in Emaar South: a working course and clubhouse are a selling point you can now show buyers and tenants. If your home faces the course, make the most of it in your listing photos and descriptions.
If you want to buy: you can now see the course for yourself instead of relying on renders. Book a visit, walk the community and compare golf-facing units with homes inside the community. The difference in price between the two should reflect a view that now exists.
If you are an investor: Emaar South lets you buy into a golf community for less than Dubai's more established golf addresses. Rental demand here depends heavily on Dubai South and the airport's growth, so plan for the long term and check rental comparables for the specific building or cluster.
