Golf in Dubai

This is the clubhouse at the Majlis Golf Course in Dubai.

I am standing on the putting green with the clubhouse behind me.

As you can see in the background, this golf course is hosting a professional women's tournament. The tournament played at this course is a "Fairwell to Annika Sorenstam" since she is retiring after this year.

Here are the box seats they are building around the 18 green. We had 2 professional ladies playing behind us on this day. They could outdrive us on every hole and they were playing from the tips. The European tour is hosting a Race to Dubai tournament here in a couple months. The winner gets around $3 million. Tiger Woods won the tournament last year. The rough was 4 inches thick, the greens were fast, and the fairways were in great shape.

Here are the bleachers on the 18 green. The 9nth green is also attached to the 18nth green since it is a double green.
