Dubai Golf City
Dubai Golf City is a mixed-use $1.8 billion project covering 55,000,000 square feet (5,100,000 m2). This unique golf community was developed by Benaa Development (part of Dubai-based Thani Investments) and offered a stunning collection of 700 mansions built around five golf courses. The project was intended for completion in Dubai, United Arab Emirates in late 2009, but has been on hold with only one golf course partly completed. This golf course is no longer being maintained and the project looks to have been abandoned (Feb 2023).
The development, when completed, will feature 5 world class golf courses, a golf academy, a grand 5-star resort with traditional architecture, retail souks, residential villages and convention centres. It is one of the most significant projects at Dubailand.
"The architecture provides a fusion of Arabic, Islamic and Moorish design elements resulting in a unique development that harmonises with the culture and history of the region. Also, the architectural character of the overall project is very unique and rich," said Abdulla Saeed Al Thani.
