Dubai Desert Classic

The Dubai Desert Classic is an annual professional golf tournament which is usually played in February or March.  Dubai Desert Classic began in 1990 and is organized and promoted by the Dubai Desert Classic Executive Committee. The golf event is sanctioned by the PGA European Tour, sponsored by Dubai Aluminium (DUBAL) and presented in association with UAE Golf Association.

It is played on the "Majlis" course at Emirates Golf Club, although it moved to Dubai Creek Golf Club for two years in 1999 and 2000, and will again be staged there in 2007.

The Dubai Desert Classic at the Emirates Golf Club features a challenge match on the first day, a pro-am competition on the second and then the four days of the Classic itself.

Events like the Dubai Desert Classic are an integral part of showcasing Dubai as one of the world's greatest destinations for business and pleasure. The Dubai Desert Classic also allows us to demonstrate to the world the fact that Dubai is full of culture, enthusiasm, innovation and excellence.

The event is notable for attracting some of the biggest stars in world golf with the assistance of generous appearance fees.

The Dubai Desert Classic will stimulate a culture of enthusiasm, excellence and innovation, setting it apart from other events.

Dubai Desert Classic will start on 30 Jan - 4 Feb 2007 (annual) at Emirates Golf Club.
