Dubai Hills Estate, a joint venture between leading developers Meraas and Emaar, said the construction work on the championship golf course at its Dubai Hills Golf Club development has been completed.

The 18-hole par-72 championship golf course was designed by European Golf Design of Dubai Hills Golf Club. It is set on a 1.2- million-sq-m area. Work on the clubhouse is making brisk progress, said Dubai Hills Estate.

Offering a challenge to golfers of all handicaps, it is billed to become one of the key golfing destinations in the Middle East region, it added.

A differentiating strength of Dubai Hills Golf Club is the exceptionally designed Academy Building, which sits at the heart of the spacious floodlit practice facility. It will serve as a service point for golfers arriving early and will feature two golf studios, teaching bays and an F&B kiosk. The practice facility also includes a 220-m long warm-up area with multiple target greens designed to allow golfers to practice shots from wedge up to medium-long irons before going out to play.

The course will be maintained using recycled water and has been planted with Platinum TE Paspalum (greens) and Pure Dynasty Seeded Paspalum (tees and fairways) along with a wide array of lush desert landscaping.
