The Address, Montgomerie Dubai demonstrates the high quality luxury resort that combines both a championship standard golf course with unbeatable service and hospitality.

The design of the course is exquisite and mimics a links golf course, with undulating fairways. The fairways are wide, although with the link feel to them provide a challenge to every golfer that tees it up.

The fourth a par 5, “The Snake” which takes it name from the bunkering and the ridging that seperates the two fairways offers a myriad of options for the golfer. The most direct line is down the left fairway. The bunkers in the middle of the hole will quickly gobble up any miscued second shot. The easiest approach from this sloping fairway is from the right, but beware this hole is a real test of your skill.
The par 3 thirteenth is one of the most iconic holes in the Dubai region. The shape of the hole represents the UAE and has a 360º teeing area, which allows for a completely different golf hole every time, played to an island green.

Water features for the entirety of the hole, and requires accurate wood play. The undulating fairway will keep you guessing as to the lie you are going to face with each shot.
