The Trump World Golf Club Dubai will be set within Damac's new 55 million sqft master development, Akoya Oxygen in Dubailand. The 18-hole championship-standard course will include a state-of-the-art club house, world class restaurants and pro shop.
It is the second development for the Trump Organisation in Dubai, following the Trump International Golf Club, Dubai at Akoya by Damac, which was launched with tremendous success in May 2013 and is due to open in late-2015. Trump World Golf Club Dubai marks the 18th golf course in the Trump Organisation's prestigious portfolio, which also includes the legendary Trump Turnberry in Scotland; Trump National Doral, Miami; Trump International Golf Links, Ireland; Trump National Golf Club, Los Angeles; and many other highly-rated courses. Damac Properties confirmed the designer of the course, a world-renowned golf professional, and will be announcing the name in the coming weeks.
Damac Properties managing director Ziad El Chaar, speaking on the eve of the Cityscape Global exhibition in Dubai, said: "This golf course will complement the ethos of Akoya Oxygen, as the greenest and most lush living environment anywhere in the region."
"The Trump Organisation is renowned as the best golf course owners and operators in the world and will deliver the highest quality service to players coming to enjoy Dubai's great climate and Akoya Oxygen's great facilities." Dubai is one of the favoured golfing destinations in the world, according to professional services company KMPG, which rated the emirate as the sixth most popular location for golfers. The Trump Organisation is known for delivering the highest standards of luxury real estate in the world, with a portfolio that also includes iconic residential developments, private estates, resort properties and a hotel collection which is considered to be the fastest growing in the super luxury sector.
"I have been hugely impressed with the quality and professionalism of everything in Dubai and it was a natural progression to bring another world-class course to the emirate," said Donald J. Trump, chairman and president of the Trump Organisation. "The Trump World Golf Club Dubai will complement the Trump International Golf Club and its residential component perfectly and elevate Dubai's already strong golf industry to the highest levels of luxury."
Ground has already been broken at Akoya Oxygen, with the course set to open by the end of 2017.
