Trump International Golf Club Dubai Collects Three World Golf Awards

Trump International Golf Club Dubai has come home from the 2026 World Golf Awards with three titles. The club says it has retained Middle East’s Best Golf Course and Middle East’s Best Golf Real Estate Venue, and added Dubai’s Best Golf Course to its list of honours.

General Manager Philip Waine and Director of Golf Martin McDonagh collected the awards at the ceremony at Madinaty Golf Club in Cairo.

A trophy cabinet that keeps growing

This is not a club new to the stage. Its nine hole floodlit Par 3 course was named World’s Best Par 3 Golf Course, and its championship course has been named UAE’s Best Golf Course, most recently in 2024. In 2025 it was named Middle East’s Best Golf Course, the title it has now held on to.

Developed by DAMAC Properties and managed by the Trump Golf Organization, the club sits within DAMAC Hills. The centrepiece is an 18 hole championship links style course designed by Gil Hanse, inspired by the game’s Scottish roots, alongside the floodlit Par 3 and a golf performance academy offering PGA coaching for players of every level. The 30,000 square foot clubhouse brings together restaurants, an infinity pool, a fitness centre and a large golf shop.

The real estate award recognises exactly that setting: a course and clubhouse woven into a residential community, where golf, dining and leisure sit on the doorstep.

In the club’s words

“Retaining both Middle East titles and adding Dubai’s Best Golf Course is a proud moment for our team,” said Philip Waine. “These awards recognise the care that goes into preparing the course and looking after our members and guests every day.”

With the cooler months now here and the evenings made for floodlit golf, it is a good time to find out why the judges keep returning to DAMAC Hills.
