Australia has more than 1,400 courses, nearly all of them open to visitors. Each year, more than 500,000 eager golfers grab their clubs and sample one or more. The country's best-known greens include Royal Pines and Sanctuary Cove in Queensland, Riverside Oaks and The Lakes in New South Wales, Huntingdale and Kingston Heath in Victoria and the Grange in South Australia.

Kingston Heath in Melbourne, designed by Dr Alister Mackenzie, is one of the world's top courses, while in Sydney, the undulating links of the Peter Thomson-designed Camden Lakeside course remind many players of St Andrews, Gleneagles or Muirfield.

Dubai

While many vacationers come to Dubai, more and more professionals are choosing to plan and attend conferences in this location, because of one main reason: the golf. The contrast of the dry, desert landscape is complimented beautifully by the well-manicured greens that flow through this gulf-side haven. Multiple opportunities exist for those who wish to take aim on Dubai soil. Rod Bogg, managing director of Dubai Golf says, "We have fabulous golfing facilities in Dubai. We have some of the best courses in the world and without doubt some of the best clubhouses."

Dubai is located on the Eastern Coast of the Arabian Peninsula; it has a sub tropical arid climate with infrequent and irregular rainfall (less than 13 centimetres a year). We have found that the best time to play golf is from mid September to mid May, during the summer the temperature can be as high as 44 degrees but the green fees drop in price during this period.

Dubai is a cosmopolitan city and has retained many cultural traditions established by fishermen, pearl divers and nomads. Experience the Arabian Desert, steel towers, shopping at old souks or modern shopping malls. Dubai is a shopper's paradise with everything from gold, electronics, spices and textiles; it's famous for offering top international brands at low prices. West from the city centre is the popular suburb of Jumeriah which is home to some of Dubai's most luxury hotels. Here you will find beautiful unspoilt stretches of beach and water sports complexes.

The biggest attraction for golfers is the selection of golf courses and the perfect playing conditions. Millions of pounds have been spent on these courses to ensure that all visiting golfers have a memorable experience.
