Some of the best golf trips don’t involve an airport. With the season about to turn, JA Resorts & Hotels has launched a UAE residents offer built for exactly that: a couple of nights away, a twilight tee time, and no queue at passport control.
The course itself carries more pedigree than most residents realise. Designed by Swiss architect Peter Harradine in 1998, the golf course at JA The Resort hosted 10 Challenge Matches in partnership with the Dubai Desert Classic back in the day. It was a much-loved curtain raiser to the main event that brought the best six or eight players from the Desert Classic field to compete at Jebel Ali. Tiger Woods, Greg Norman, Nick Faldo and Seve Ballesteros have all teed it up here.
Harradine returned in 2018 to redesign the opening three holes around the new JA Lake View Hotel, reshaping the layout into today’s par 35 while keeping the identity and flow of the original. The resort’s history runs through the routing too; the hotel’s original Gate House still stands on the 5th hole.
For golfers, the headline is a 2 FOR 1 on twilight 9-hole tee times. Play as the heat drops out of the day, then take your pick of everything else on site.
“Not many resort courses can say Tiger Woods and Seve have played their fairways. Twilight golf here is at its best as the sun drops, and with the 2 FOR 1 offer it’s the perfect excuse for residents to make a weekend of it,” said Stuart Gibb, Group General Manager at JA Sports & Shooting Club.
And there’s plenty of it. Guests booking the offer enjoy 2 FOR 1 on spa treatments, tennis, padel, the shooting range, archery and horse riding (once per day during weekdays), along with 30% savings across all restaurants. Kids under 12 stay complimentary and dine on the same meal plan as their parents when eating together, while complimentary daily breakfast and early check-in and late check-out (subject to availability) round things off. Residents who sign up for JA DISCOVERY unlock up to 20% savings on stays.
The choice of base is yours. JA Lake View Hotel, JA Palm Tree Court and JA Beach Hotel put you between the fairways and the Gulf, while JA Hatta Fort Hotel swaps the coast for the mountains, with nature trails, archery and evenings under clear skies.
The offer is valid for stays of two nights or more until 30 September 2026. Book at jaresortshotels.com.
