Al Badia Golf Club is a district of Dubai, 2.4 km from Creek Metro Station.
Al Badia Golf Club is an 18-hole championship golf facility in Dubai Festival City. Opened in 2005 and designed by Robert Trent Jones II, the course and its striking sailboat-shaped clubhouse became a visible part of the Creek-side landscape. The club ceased public operations in 2017, and the property is privately held by The Al Futtaim Group.
Al Badia Golf Club was built as an 18-hole championship course along the banks of Dubai Creek. The layout was designed for championship players and newcomers alike, with yardages ranging from 5,398 to 7,388 yards. The course covers approximately 85 acres of turf, with indigenous planting, extensive water features and strategic sand hazards. Eleven lakes and several waterfalls are prominent landscape elements, while both the front and back nines return to a central clubhouse set within the course.
The sailboat-inspired clubhouse contained several dining and leisure venues. Before public operations ceased in 2017, the site included a golf school, golf shop, the all-day restaurant Blades, a three-suite spa, four restaurants and two bars.
Access to Al Badia Golf Club is primarily by road. The nearest Dubai Metro station is Green Line station G30, around 2,394 metres away, with a short drive, taxi ride or other road transport generally needed for the final leg.
Approximate driving times include 16 minutes to Dubai Mall, 28 minutes to Palm Jumeirah, 26 minutes to Burj Al Arab and 31 minutes to The Walk at JBR. Dubai International Airport (DXB) is around a 10-minute drive, while Al Maktoum International Airport is approximately 46 minutes away by car.
The club opened in 2005 and operated publicly until 2017. Following its closure, the property became private and is held by The Al Futtaim Group. Its legacy is defined by the championship course design, landscaped water features, sand hazards and distinctive central clubhouse.
Extensive water bodies, waterfalls, rivers of sand and the clubhouse remain among the location’s most recognisable features.
The site lies in Dubai Festival City. Nearby educational facilities include Deira International School, approximately 0.8 km away, and Universal American School, around 0.9 km away. The Creek-side setting and water features create a visual connection with Festival City’s wider waterfront environment and neighbouring districts.
Its Dubai Festival City address provides relatively short road journeys to central Dubai destinations and Dubai International Airport. The combination of championship golf, a Creek setting and clubhouse dining helped establish the club as a sporting and leisure destination for dining and events.
Al Badia Golf Club’s original design suited golfers as well as organisations seeking a clubhouse setting with dining and banqueting venues. Its 5,398-to-7,388-yard range, championship routing, water features and sand hazards created a layout suitable for skilled competitors and less experienced players using alternate tees. The nearby schools also contribute to the family-oriented character of the surrounding area.
Short driving times to Dubai Mall and Dubai International Airport historically supported access for visiting players and guests arriving by air or from elsewhere in the city.
The club ceased public operations in 2017, and the property is privately held by The Al Futtaim Group.
