Located in the heart of Arabian Ranches, a peaceful community where families reside in their private-gated polo homes, lies the beautiful Arabian Ranches Golf Club (ARGC). Built in 2004, the golf club is just a stone’s throw away from Dubai’s iconic landmarks and world-famous attractions. Promoting a true sandy golf course, with indigenous shrubs and bushes, the course spans over 247-acres; of which 120-acres are irrigated; while the rest show wonderful desert landscapes. With a bespoke swimming pool and a GPS yardage service on every golf cart, the golf course links an impressive 18-hole course with a signature par 72, playing up to 7,658-yards. The natural flow of holes through the sand dunes create the perfect opportunity to play championship golf. Situated right in-between Autodrome Dubai and Global Village, the golf course remains partners with Dodge, Troon Golf, Dubai Duty-Free, Emirates, and more, while maintaining sponsorship from Emirates Golf Federation, Mont Blanc, Rivoli Group, etc. It is home to the Golf Academy, Spanish Colonial Clubhouse, Maison Mathis, Ranches Restaurant and Terrace, Birdies Sports Lounge, a floodlit Driving Range, and the Pro Shop, all conveniently established near the inhabitants of the family-centric rented homes within the vicinity.
