1. Five Iron Golf Dubai: The Ultimate Indoor Golf Arena

Getting to the Greens
Navigating your way to Dubai's golf and sports entertainment venues is seamless thanks to the city's world-class, fully air-conditioned public transport network.
The Dubai Metro makes getting around incredibly easy. In fact, golf is such a major part of the city's culture that the metro's Red Line (Route 2020 extension) features a dedicated Jumeirah Golf Estates station for those heading out to the prestigious residential golf community.
To reach venues like Swingers Crazy Golf on Bluewaters Island, you can take the metro down to the Dubai Marina or Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT) stations, where you can easily connect to the Dubai Tram or enjoy a scenic walk over the pedestrian bridge from Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR).
Whether you are stepping into a state-of-the-art simulator or navigating the moving obstacles of a crazy golf course, Dubai's newest attractions prove that the city takes its recreation seriously. Grab your friends and get ready for an unforgettable round!
