Welcome to the Middle East’s newest clubhouse, an elegant accompaniment to the fine golf on offer at Dubai Hills Golf Club
For golfers the world over, a duck hook is a disheartening scourge to scorecard happiness. In Dubai, The Duck Hook is something altogether more appealing. The emirate’s newest golf course opened to great fanfare and rave reviews late last month and it wasn’t just the eminently playable and immaculately presented European Golf Design layout that warranted those worthy plaudits. The 45,000sq foot, Arabian-themed clubhouse at Dubai Hills Golf Club is an elegant accompaniment to a course sure to attract global attention, especially with the iconic Burj Khalifa serving as an almost constant backdrop. A gentle fade to the right through the lobby at Dubai Hills G.C. is the aforementioned The Duck Hook, a British-inspired bar complete with views beyond the 18th green and six big screens on the walls to watch the latest golf or big game after your round.
