Tips for a Better Visit
Bring Waterware. Bring your own bottle or container: refill stations were available, but no paper cups or bottles were provided.
Check Conditions. Ask about current green conditions before booking, as reviews range from immaculate to below expectations.
Plan Warmup. Allow extra time to find the driving range; one visitor found its location tricky on arrival.
Clarify Charges. Before a twilight round, confirm club-hire and spectator charges, especially if sunset could shorten your game.
Expect Mats. If grass practice matters to you, check the range setup first, as the bays use mats rather than grass.
Allow Bar Time. If you plan drinks after your round, allow for possible delays or ask about service timing before settling in.

The Bottom Line
Montgomerie Golf Club Dubai in Emirates Hills is built around a full golf course with a forgiving shape, wide fairways and enough risk-and-reward holes to keep experienced players interested. You can also use the driving range, try the par 3 course or book Academy lessons. The views bring in lakes, villas, greenery and Dubai’s skyline, with the 18th often singled out for its scenery.
The Academy is a real draw for learners and improvers. Reviews mention an indoor TrackMan studio, short-game areas, and both individual and group lessons. 9 handicap.
Beginners are described as well accommodated, too. Service is usually a strong part of the visit, from bag drop and marshals to reception and the restaurant. Food reviews are often positive, including a mention of the seafood sizzler, though dining feedback is not uniformly good.
Budget carefully. Some visitors feel the pricing is high, and course condition can vary, particularly on the greens. The range uses mats, and you should bring a container for water refills in hot weather.
If booking twilight, confirm charges and how late you can realistically finish.
