Our take

The Burj Khalifa and Downtown skyline stay in view across nine holes here, and the golf underneath holds its own.

• Higher handicapsThe fairways are broad and there is no water to find, so the driver can breathe. It is the undulating greens and the rough either side that add the shots, not anything off the tee.
• CouplesGPS buggies come included and the course is dead flat, so it stays a comfortable round even in the heat, with the Downtown skyline in your eyeline for half the holes.
• Serious golfersDo not read the generous fairways as soft. Troon keep it in superb order, the greens have real movement in them, and finding the wrong tier leaves you working hard to save par.
