Open winner Ian Baker-Finch has created the most authentic and visually stunning desert golf course in Dubai.

 With fairly narrow fairways and smallish greens, accuracy is at a premium if you want to avoid the beautiful but penal rough. In sublime condition, this course is worth playing at least a couple of times - if only to learn that it’s not as hard as it first appears! Easy walking and buggies are not obligatory. 15 miles south-west of downtown Dubai.
