Trump International Golf Club

Aspetti positivi: fairways perfetti, clubhouse meravigliosa, buona selezione di ristoranti di ottima qualità.

Aspetti da migliorare: purtroppo ci sono ancora molti cantieri nell'area intorno al gof club quindi il rumore in sottofondo è continuo. Il personale ce la mette tutta, ma mi è parso un pò caotico e mal organizzato.

Voto complessivo: 8.

De gastvrijheid aan de balie bij binnenkomst zou wel beter kunnen. Er loopt zeer veel personeel rond die wel gastvrij overkomt. Mooie kleedkamers, douche’s en veel verzorgingsproducten. En ligt zelfs fruit en zonnebrand bij. Mooi aangelegde baan, maar die nog wel vrij kaal is.

Redelijk nieuwe baan maar goed ingericht. Doordat hij vrij breed is heb je wel wat marge. De huizen die er omheen staan willen nog wel eens doelwit worden van een verdwaalde bal. Desalniettemin schitterende bunkers en 2 holes met flinke waterpartij en absoluut geen foutmarge als je de green mist.

Ontvangst is fantastisch, wel is het compound er omheen nog in ontwikkeling en dat doet wel wat afbreuk aan de rust.

Il percorso par 3 di 9 buche è molto ben disegnato e impegnativo anche per giocatori con basso HCP. Divertente. Il percorso principale è un par 71, tecnico e abbastanza lungo, molti Water Hazards e greens molto ondulati.

La Club House moderna e ben organizzata, palestra e piscina, Bar, e 2 ristoranti. Il servizio impeccabile, decine di addetti che ti seguono discretamente, Marshal che ti porge un ghiacciolo tra una buca e l'altra...

Went on a trip to Dubai in order to play this course while the weather in our region was still kinda pleasant, and I was not sorry for doing so!

The facilities are part of a much larger development that is going around the course, commercial and residential real-estate, this is normal for our region, when playing in the middle east, you don't really expect to play in the middle of forest, rather, you play alongside villas, apartment buildings etc...

They, the facilities, are quite nice, the looker rooms are clean, well stocked and nicely maintained. The Pro-Shop, while small, does offer all you need and it well stocked. There is a nice restaurant and a bar (relatively small) for your pre/post rounds snacks and meals. The architecture of the clubhouse is a bit futuristic and not in-line with other Trump courses I played, but in a positive way, I quite like it.

The club has good practice ares; range, short game, putting... all well maintained and nicely build!

The curse itself is quite fun to play, interesting layout with some long holes and more water than you would expect. I do like how they have managed to incorporate the desert into the course so that it makes it better, rather than trying to build over it and struggle with the terrain, not sure if I make sense, but the course is build nicely, I liked it. Especially the greens, are really on a high level, among the best in the region I would say. The think dough, they did put some of the tee boxes very close to the residential buildings, actually, quite a lot of the residential buildings are too close to the course if you ask me. It happened to me that on one of my tee shoots I almost hit the building and it happened to the member I was playing with that he actually did hit a building on his second shoot a few holes down the line, they really should address this with either some vegetation or protective nets, otherwise, I think we will see a lot of broken windows on this one. The course is quite flat and if you don't mind a bit of heat its worth walking.

All in all, cool course to play, I will surely play it again.
