The property market in Dubai includes numerous glamorous gated golf communities where the finest fairways meet charming homes and townhouses. Here's a look at eight top developments, and their championship courses, signature homes, and lifestyle amenities.
Jumeirah Golf Estates
Between these two courses lie the award‑winning Earth and Fire courses, designed by Greg Norman that have hosted the DP World Tour Championship. There are homes here ranging from graceful villas and townhouses to modern apartments, all oriented to overlook manicured fairways or landscaped gardens. Away from the golf course, the development's luxurious clubhouse houses fine‑dining restaurants, while fitness centres, swimming pools, children's parks, and meandering walking trails ensure every family member is catered for.
Emirates Hills
Described as the Beverly Hills of Dubai, Emirates Hills wraps itself around the plush greens of the Montgomerie Golf Club. Mansions are custom‑built on large plots, featuring advanced security and private waterfront walkways. Residents enjoy immediate access to world‑class international schools and state‑of‑the‑art healthcare facilities, which draw high‑net‑worth individuals with a preference for privacy and prominence.
Dubai Hills Estate
Developed by master developer Emaar, Dubai Hills Estate is home to an 18‑hole championship golf course designed by European Golf Design. The estate's portfolio comprises luxury villas, townhouses, and high‑rise apartments, most with views of the fairways. Shop at Dubai Hills Mall, jog or walk through the carefully planned parks and paths, visit one of the nearby medical centres, or cycle along dedicated tracks located close to your home.
Arabian Ranches
Arabian Ranches presents an 18‑hole, par‑72 course created in association with Ian Baker‑Finch and Nicklaus Design, which winds through beautiful villa clusters. At the Dubai Polo & Equestrian Club, around 4,000 modern homes — everything from large townhouses to family‑sized villas — sit among the equestrian tracks. Schools, shopping villages, and community pools add to the family‑friendly nature of this well‑established suburb.
