Challenging course in excellent condition and well priced, if you stay at the IC or have vouchers. Good facilities and service plus an excellent practice facility.

The first thing people picture in their minds when they think of Dubai is desert and lots and lots of sand! Playing Al Badia you forget that you are in the middle of the desert - unless of course you're trying to get out of a bunker, but the lushness and water on this course is amazing!!! Challenging but all... More

fantastic value, tricky front 9 with plenty of water. the club house is of the best standard offering jacuzzi, steam room and a vip section too. the 1 negative is it seems we get caught up in human traffic on the way around, maybe better marshalling or a bit longer between each tee time would make the whole experience ideal...

Dubai is a great brunching destination with all sorts of brunch experiences but this one does stand out for a simple reason - the concept (5/5 for it) We wanted to celebrate but didn’t want to go down the usual dress up - candle light route esp. with a hyperactive 6 month old in tow. We thought a picnic would... More

You can get discounts and special offers but let's face it golf in Dubai is expensive and that kind of kills the fun stone-dead.This is a wondrous course but you ned to take out a mortgage to play a round, tip your caddy and then have a bite to eat in the club house.

Fantastic, challenging course. Carts are equipped with large GPS and electronic scoring screens. The customer service here is also great. It is owned and run by Intercontinental Hotels and it tells...it is backed up with arguably the best changing room facilities in Dubai (jacuzzi, steam room, sauna) Well worth paying a little more for. One of the best courses in... More

We loved the picnic brunch at Al Badia. Have done it last year and this year and loved it! The service is hit and miss and that's a shame becasue the food is delicious and teh setting uniquely amazing. Please sort out your service so we can give you 5 stars next year!
