I have been playing golf very occasionally with friends, however could never get any consistency. I decided on 1 lesson with Mr Ian Brennan and he was amazing! He cleaned up my stance, the way to hold the club, how to strike the ball upon many other things by which at the end of the session, I was hitting every single ball perfectly. I cannot rate this establishment highly enough especially Mr Ian Brennan. If you want to improve, I seriously recommend you take lesson with him and you will guaranteed notice the improvement in your game even after 1 session!

Arrived at The Track, Meydan Golf a bit early and immediately greeted and assisted by smiling, friendly Staff all the way from bag drop, check in, driving range, snack shop, tee off and occasional checks on the way round 9 holes by staff to make sure all was OK.
Fairways and Greens in excellent condition with the occasional Gazelles popping out of the bushes which also contributed to this being one of the most enjoyable and more importantly, relaxed and comfortable times on a Golf Course in Dubai, unlike many other pompous Golf Clubs in Dubai.
Added bonus with a Tour of "Dollarsandart" by artist Jim Wheat at the Qube Clubhouse with many fascinating stories behind his inspiration for "Dollarsandart" and signed dollar bills by many Celebrities incorporated into his Artwork.
Excellent experience rounded off by great food in the Qube Clubhouse.

Enjoyed a very entertaining afternoon and evening at Meydan. Golf course was in excellent condition and provides a fair challenge to all abilities, being floodlit means your not worried about finishing your round in daylight. Also great idea to have different pin locations for front and back 9 holes. We had a guided tour of the Dollarsandart exhibition by the artist Jim Wheat which was very enjoyable hearing all the back stories and anecdotes to his colourful work. Finished off with refreshments and fish n chips in the Qube, super tasty and good value.
If you are looking for a great venue for golf and f&b at very reasonable prices then you will not be disappointed at Meydan.

Booked for a single player round 9 holes at 3pm on Friday 4/11/2022. Paid 293AED (about £70). I've been there before but usually with a playing partner and never in the afternoon.
I was placed into 4 ball with a shared buggy which I expected. What I didnt expect was that none of the other players in the group had actually paid for their round - instead they were there on various credit card promotions. One person was late so we had to have him brought to join the group.
Throughout the round we were harried to hurry up with complaints of slow play. Without doubt we were slow because my playing partners were treating the whole thing as a freebie practise round sometimes replaying their shots 2 or 3 times. Although I tried to keep to the rules of golf concerning times for looking for lost balls and time taken to address and take a shot this clearly wasn't acceptable to the course marshals.
It was clear what was happening was that they were trying to get as many players as possible through the course in the remaining daylight hours whilst honouring all their commitments to freebie rounds. They had no care or consideration for paying customers and it was clear that the 'marshals' had no understanding of golf, its etiquette or its rules.... their sole job was to harass people round as quickly as possible.
To Meydan Golf - Please treat your paying customers with more respect or like myself they will not return!

The lobby looks like it is a cheap motel, the bathrooms are stuffed with ceiling damages, humidity damages, their lobby is closed until afternoon, no place to sit and they're trying to kill their golf players by letting them share (during this pandemic) golf carts with strangers, but still want to charge additional, only to watch a friend playing on the golf course. The main entrance is lack of presentation, I had to check several times if my car's GPS is incorrect, and got lost. I was in the middle of nowhere, with dust and not even a sign or logo explaining that this is the entrance to the golf course. The member of staff is rather impolite and rude, their security asked me to sign 4 times and wants to check my temperature over 4 times in less than 90 minutes, the parking is extremely dirty, and the whole golf course feels like a construction site and not a golf course at all. I also booked this golf course on the Entertainer, but out of a sudden they wanted to charge more money and tried to always find additional charges. I got the name card of Mr. Ian, who is supposed to be the Manager of this golf course, but when I saw how many negative ratings this golf course actually has, and all the responses are rather standard drafts that have been copied from somewhere, somehow, I felt like "uk", and wanted to just walk away from this place. As far as I'm concerned about this golf course is simple: it is a place that doesn't make their guests enjoy playing a round of golf. Not one single moment, I have see any member of staff helpful, kind of supportive at all, no one smiles and being in a graveyard is most likely, and this is my opinion, is more fun to go than Track Meydan. Just to recap,they need to improve their entrance side, and make their main gate more visible, dust and dirt are not necessarily welcoming anyone. Will never visit this place anymore in my whole entire life and hopefully they will release their reputation is below the carpet, their facilities are really really bad, which would be fine, but as long as their management is acting careless, it is not worth to paying a visit at all. What a waste of my time and money, horrible experience.

Dear Guest, We appreciate you taking the time to provide us with such detailed feedback about your recent golfing experience but at the same time, deeply regret to hear that certain things did not meet your expectations. Here at Meydan Golf, we always welcome comments – be it positive or negative – from our valued guests and are open to healthy criticisms which we see as an opportunity to help us improve our overall facilities and enable us to continuously deliver outstanding services to the satisfaction of our guests. On the other hand, we are saddened to see that despite our Interim General Manager’s response to the review which you have posted earlier, with his attempt to provide a comprehensive explanation to all your concerns and turn your negative experience around, you continued to repost your bad reviews not only here on TripAdvisor but to other social media sites as well using different aliases. Similarly, you have also reposted negative reviews from other players dating to two years back under different accounts. What has been most disturbing to us was your e-mail threat mentioning: “do all in my power and position to spread out the word, telling the world that your golf course is a fiasco, a place that I generates unhappiness throughout their golf players – which supports your aggressive actions online. While we can no longer remove the negative imprint that you had from your last visit, please rest assured that our doors are always open and we are ready to hear it from you personally, where we could both discuss this matter in a closed forum and in a more professional and refined manner. Meanwhile, please note that we have already taken the necessary actions towards your online reviews which violated review contents and guidelines. Respectfully, Mohamed Shawky

Bad service, bad management, absolutely not recommend. I'm playing at track Maydan for free because the credit card offer, otherwise I will never never ever come here.

1. The security at the main gate will never remember you even you signed in hundred times.

2. The staffs are not very professional and not friendly.

3. If you want to take second person on your cart, have to pay 75AED extra, only to look at you play. I have been to a lot of different golf course, none of them charge that and at the same time this golf course is totally empty. No wonder there is no visitors.

4. The lounge is not open until afternoon, so there is no way to have a cup of coffee or breakfast before you play.

5. The cart has so bad maintenance that my gulf bag falls out because the locker is broken and my driver has damaged.

6. That's impossible to write a Google review in the club house because their WiFi networks has blocked the page to make sure nobody saying anything. I have to use my own cell phone data to write that.

To the Track Maydan Golf Course, if you only make discount all the time to attract customer is not enough, to improve your service and management is more important.

Dear Golfing Guest, Thank you for writing a Trip Advisor review after your recent experience at the Track, Meydan Golf Managed by Troon Golf. I am disappointed to hear we did not meet your expectations and would like to clarify a few of the concerns you have outlined. 1. Our Security team are simply following our COVID-19 protocols laid out by the government and facility. I realize that it can be frustrating to get temperature checked often but it is for your safety and the safety of our staff. 2. I would like to reassure you that feedback like this is always brought to the attention of staff at regular team meetings and we are dedicated to offering a friendly, relaxed environment and ultimately a great golfing experience. This will be taken up at our next meeting. 3. This is known as a Spectator Fee and is common place throughout all the clubs in the UAE. 4. I will pass this on to the F&B team and can assure you this is only temporary as part of our reopening procedure. However, the kiosk and drinks buggy at the driving range can serve tea, coffee or soft drinks anytime. 5. Upon checking in at the Proshop you will have received and signed a receipt that asks you to ensure you properly check the course worthiness of the buggy before heading to the course. This is always conveyed to guests by our staff as this is standard procedure. If one of the straps on the buggy was damaged you should have reported this immediately to one of our staff and a replacement would have been offered. 6. I have personally not experienced any issues with google or the wifi in the facility. This is the first time I have heard this but will certainly look into this and see if we have been having any issues. Please contact me directly on Info@meydangolf.com so I can personally see to it that your next experience with us lives up to your expectations. Ian Brennan - Interim General Manager

I was invited to The Track at Meydan by Jim Wheat, renowned international artist and founder of 'Dollarsandart.' My wife and I enjoyed Jim's unique 'Art Tour and then played the The Track 9 hole golf course, which was also a unique experience, particularly with a monster opening hole of over 600 yards! The warm welcome we recieved and Jim's passion for the venue ensured that a memorable day was had and I strongly recommend it to anyone living in or visiting Dubai. The Qube sports bar is possibly the best of its kind in the country too. Cheers Jim.

Went directly to the Driving Range at Meydan Golf and booked for myself and a colleague. We were able to play within 30 minutes and they provided the trolleys. With the Troon Executive Card we paid each AED 200 for 9 holes walking. Nice package.

After living in Dubai over 30 years and leaving in 2018 but fortunate enough to be back in 2021, I was lucky to be paired up with DollarsandArt legend "Jim Wheat" for a round of Golf at Meydan. In all my years here, this day has to be up there with the best.
Not only do you get to enjoy Jim's humour whilst playing but he will also help you with your Golf !!
He will then treat you to a private Art Tour of his work on display at Meydan revealing some of his life's comings and goings which are his inspiration for his amazing Art work.
Jim is available via Meydan Golf and if you are looking for an enjoyable day of Golf, Art and Humour, he's your Man.

The course itself is ok and would be passable but the management of the course never ceases to disappoint.
A few times my tee time was moved up and I wasn't contacted. I arrived to find out I was late or wouldn't have any time on the driving range. When I asked the reception to please notify me if they were planning on moving my tee time up, I was told they couldn't as it was the responsibility of another department.
I had a friend who had a game where the marshall was pressuring them to move faster but they were held up by the group in front of them and explained this each time they were approached by the marshall. He made a formal complaint but never got a response.
For me the final straw was a game I had to cancel due to the death of my brother. I asked a friend to call as I was in the US. After 10 minutes of answering some very insensitive questions, he was assured my game was cancelled. I went to play on Sunday and was told I owed a no-show fee. When I explained what happened, that my friend had called because I couldn't, and even showed the funeral announcement, I was told there was nothing they could do. It was in the computer.

I will never return.
