GOLF GROVE: GOLF-FACING VILLAS IN DUBAI HILLS ESTATE

Golf Grove is a boutique, 30-villa collection by Emaar Properties, positioned directly along the Dubai Hills golf course — a small, low-density cluster rather than a sprawling sub-community.

Construction began in 2019, with completion confirmed in December 2022, making this a fully established, ready cluster.

THREE ARCHITECTURAL TYPES, NOT THREE LOCATIONS

Every villa in Golf Grove comes in one of three named architectural types — Eames, Savoye, and Aalto — a styling choice you select at purchase, similar to how Maple and Sidra use type codes (2M, 3E, E1 through E5).

These aren’t separate sub-zones within Golf Grove; with only 30 villas on one compact site, it’s a single cluster offering three façade and layout styles. The names are a thematic nod to modernist design icons — Charles Eames, Le Corbusier’s celebrated Villa Savoye, and Alvar Aalto — reflecting Emaar’s design branding rather than literal architectural replicas of those works.

Eames and Savoye are both 3-bedroom villas in the 2,930–2,940 sqft range — same bedroom count and nearly identical built-up area, differentiated mainly by façade language: Eames leans into deep-set walls, expansive glazing, and shadow-casting window screens, while Savoye is more compact and contemporary in massing. 

Aalto is the larger four-bedroom option, at 3,365–3,368 sqft, built around a simpler material palette designed to frame golf course views.

Worth being upfront about: a detailed room-by-room floor plan breakdown — bathroom counts, study or maid’s room inclusion per type — isn’t published anywhere, including by Emaar itself. 

The bedroom count and BUA figures above are confirmed; layout specifics beyond that should be checked directly when reviewing a unit.

HOW GOLF GROVE COMPARES BY SIZE

Golf Grove sits in a specific middle ground within Dubai Hills’ villa stock — bigger than the standard Maple townhouse, smaller than Sidra’s larger villa types, and a different category entirely from the golf-mansion segment.

• Golf Grove: 3BR/4BR, 2,930–3,365 sqft
• Maple: 3-5BR, roughly 2,200–3,200+ sqft (Type 2M around 2,228 sqft, Type 3E around 2,700 sqft)
• Sidra: 3-5BR, 3,102–4,283+ sqft across types E1 through E5
• Golf Place: 5BR+, from 8,730 sqft
• Fairway Vistas / Parkway Vistas: 5-7BR, 13,000-15,300+ sqft

In practical terms, Golf Grove reads as “Maple-plus” — modestly larger than a standard Maple townhouse, well short of Sidra’s bigger villa types, and nowhere near the mansion-scale plots of Golf Place or Fairway Vistas.

That positioning is exactly what makes the cluster work: family-sized villas with golf course frontage, without the price tag attached to the community’s largest standalone estates.

LOCATION WITHIN DUBAI HILLS ESTATE

Golf Grove sits along the Dubai Hills 18-hole championship golf course, within walking distance of Dubai Hills Park and a short drive from Dubai Hills Mall. The cluster connects directly to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, putting Downtown Dubai roughly 20 minutes away. Two hospitals sit nearby, including King’s College Hospital London’s Dubai Hills facility, and GEMS New Millennium School and GEMS International School Al Khail are both within easy reach for families.

AMENITIES

• Direct frontage onto the Dubai Hills golf course
• Outdoor fitness areas and walking trails
• Tennis court and half basketball court
• Children’s play areas
• Cycle paths and shaded nature trails
• Rooftop terrace on every villa
• Private garage and small private garden per unit

WHO BUYS HERE

Golf Grove’s buyer profile skews toward families who want a small, quiet villa cluster rather than one of Dubai Hills’ larger sub-communities — with only 30 units on the entire site, density stays low and the neighbourhood feels distinctly more residential than nearby Maple or Sidra.

The three architectural styles within one small collection also draw buyers who want a villa that doesn’t look identical to every other unit on the street, a genuine point of difference at this size bracket in Dubai Hills.

WHY THIS MATTERS FOR BUYERS

Golf Grove is fully delivered, golf-course-facing, and capped at just 30 villas — a combination that tends to hold resale supply tight and pricing steady compared with larger, higher-turnover clusters in the same community.

For a buyer comparing villa options across Dubai Hills, Golf Grove occupies a useful middle ground: established and ready like Maple or Sidra, sized a step up from a standard Maple townhouse, but without the acreage — or price tag — of the community’s golf-mansion tier.
