GOLF-FRONT APARTMENT BUILDINGS AT THE HEART OF EMAAR SOUTH
Golf Hills and Golf Hills 2 are twin residential releases by Emaar at Emaar South, the master community in Dubai South laid out around an 18-hole championship golf course and close to Al Maktoum International Airport and Expo City. The two adjacent plots sit at the heart of the community, overlooking the golf course, with an infinity-edge pool framed by the fairways and a landscaped podium of parks and play areas.
The brochure describes 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments finished in wood, textured stone, metal and glass, with full-height glazing facing the greens. Each building has a ground floor, a podium floor and ten floors above. Homes at Golf Hills and Golf Hills 2 share the same design and amenity offer across the two buildings.
This is a single brief covering both Golf Hills and Golf Hills 2. Emaar publishes a separate fact sheet for each phase, and both carry an identical unit table: 204 homes per phase, in the mix set out below.

- 18-hole championship golf course
- Infinity-edge pool and kids' pool

THE INVESTMENT CASE
LOCATION: THE HEART OF A GOLF-COURSE COMMUNITY IN DUBAI SOUTH
Emaar South is a master community in Dubai South built around an 18-hole championship golf course, with hotels, retail, healthcare, education and recreation on the master plan. The brochure positions Emaar South within reach of key destinations in under 45 minutes, citing a 5-minute drive to Al Maktoum International Airport, 30 minutes to Dubai Marina, 35 minutes to Downtown Dubai and Burj Khalifa, and 45 minutes to Dubai International Airport, with Expo City and Dubai Hills Estate also nearby. Golf Hills and Golf Hills 2 sit at the centre of the community, beside the golf course and clubhouse.
APPLICABLE STRATEGIES
- Pre-handover resale — the construction-linked plan means a buyer commits limited capital ahead of the 2029 completion; any exit before handover depends on market conditions at the time and should be checked against live DLD data.
- Buy-and-hold for rental — golf-front apartments at the heart of a growing Dubai South community support family long-let demand.
- Owner-occupation — a primary or second home overlooking the golf course in a masterplanned community.
RISKS & WATCHPOINTS
- Off-plan completion risk — according to the Dubai Land Department register, construction began in December 2025, and delivery is estimated for September 2029; timelines can move, and returns depend on the market at handover, not today's.
- Two phases, one release — Golf Hills and Golf Hills 2 launched with identical unit tables, payment plans and completion dates on adjacent plots. That doubles the stock reaching the market at the same moment, which matters for any pre-handover exit.
- Emerging location — Dubai South is still developing; commute times to central districts and the pace of community build-out should be weighed against the entry price.
- Supply — Emaar South has a substantial pipeline of concurrent phases, including neighbouring golf-course releases; overlapping handovers can affect near-term resale and rental pricing.
