Majlis Course Layout

Each hole presents a fun challenge that tests your strategy, accuracy, and focus. Golfers will find a good mix of challenges, with wide fairways that lead to fast, sloped greens and tricky sand traps.
Standout Holes at The Majlis Course
One of the standout features of The Majlis is its collection of signature holes. The par-4 8th is a demanding dogleg with water guarding the green, while the par-5 18th delivers a grandstand finish. With water running down the left and a green tucked behind a lake, it’s a hole that rewards bravery. Another highlight is the par-3 7th, offering a picturesque yet punishing tee shot over water.
