Al Badia Golf Resort
at Dubai Festival City is home to one of the world’s most distinctive
clubhouse projects – a swirling ‘wrap around’ structure
of roofs and terraces on different elevations, all encircling an atrium
‘oasis’ at the core.
Situated on the
banks of Dubai Creek, the Clubhouse offers magnificent views of the
7,250 yard Al Badia championship course from its restaurants, lounges,
function rooms, terraces, golf shops and boutique hotel.
Only 2 kilometers from Dubai International Airport, the Al Badia Golf
Resort is dominated by water features including 11 lakes and waterfalls.
The project is part
of DFC’s ‘mixed use’ development comprising Mediterranean-style
residences, commerce, shopping and leisure facilities.
