Shorehaven Golf Club is a spectacular destination for golfers on holiday in Dubai. Located in the beautiful Jumeirah Lakes District of the emirate, this is one of the most scenic courses in the Middle East. It is not surprising that the course was designed by the award-winning Tiger Woods. Furthermore, the club boasts a spectacular restaurant and bars, as well as first-class accommodation that can take care of any need.

An Impressive 27-Hole Course
Shorehaven Golf Club’s 27-hole course is an impressive display of artistic design. It features undulating fairways lined with marmoreal villas with spectacular ocean views. The greens are a delight and feature a brilliant green belt that borders the entire course. In fact, one of the holes on the course is named after the enchanting green space that surrounds it โ the โSultan Gardens’ hole.
The par-72 course also features a number of elevated teeing blocks that afford panoramic views of the entire 18-hole course. Additionally, the entire course is flanked by two lakes: Al Barsha and Lagoons, and features the Dubai Marina as a backdrop.
The Perfection Of Craftsmanship
Tiger Woods wasn’t the only internationally acclaimed designer who took part in the creation of the course. The entire 18-hole course was designed by the British firm, Field & Golf, who have also created courses in the Maldives, Portugal, and France. The field & golf course design company was founded by Geoff Field and Ian Golf, whose design credits include the Dubai Marina Golf Club, Park Course, and the Dubai Classic.
Like many courses designed by Field & Golf, Shorehaven showcases impeccable craftsmanship and exquisite materials. The British company has designed a masterful course that is full of hidden treasures, including ponds, streams, and gorgeous flowerbeds. The architects employed a French irrigation system and planted thousands of flower beds and trees around the course. The end result is a beautiful display of nature and artistry.
Fully Customized For Adventure And Fun
One of the things that make Shorehaven so appealing is that it provides an opportunity for golfers to have fun and enjoy themselves. There are a variety of activities available including fishing, hiking, and even camel riding (yes, people still do that in Dubai). Golfers can also arrange for a spa treatment at the end of the round, or they can opt for a beer at one of the many bars on site.
All of this is provided in a luxurious atmosphere that is designed to cater to the needs and desires of today’s modern traveler. Furthermore, the entire course is fully equipped with modern conveniences, including tees, fairway greens, and bunkers. It even features a pitching wedge made of titanium.
Accommodation To Suit Every Need
Accommodation at Shorehaven is excellent and offers something for every need. There are a variety of villas available, all of which boast spectacular ocean views and private pools. The designer has also provided a number of chalets and treehouses that offer unique views of the golf course. All of the accommodation at Shorehaven has been decorated according to a modern yet traditional Emirati design with beautiful carpets, flooring, and fabrics. There is a wealth of culinary delights on offer, including fresh herbs, handmade pasta, and a wide range of European and Arabic dishes in the main restaurant.
The Perfect Pitching Ground
Another thing that makes Shorehaven unique is the fact that it has been specifically designed as a pitching ground. This is something that hasn’t been offered in a conventional golf course before. Tournaments can be held here, and it is also used for training beginners and children. The entire course has been built with this in mind. There are wide range of tees, fairway flags, and baskets available to improve your pitching. It also features two putting greens and a pitching platform. The platform was specifically designed for the Asian games and can be used to practise your short putt.
The Perfect Day For A Romantic Evening
If you’re looking for a truly unique and romantic getaway, then Shorehaven is the place to be. The atmosphere here is completely different to that of a conventional golf course. There are no green fees and no rush to get back to the hotel room. You’re going to want to play and drink all afternoon, and then eat some fantastic food in the evening. After dinner, you can go for a walk, light some candles, and catch up on each other’s stories. This is the kind of setting that gets feelings of love and romance flowing.
Shorehaven is open all year round and offers something for everyone. It provides a gorgeous seascape with panoramic views of the Gulf, and it’s also the perfect place for an adventurous golfer to play a round or two. Designing a golf course is not an easy task, and Tiger Woods and Field & Golf have certainly delivered a magnificent creation with a magnificent dessert.
