GOLF PLACE: THE GOLF-FRONT VILLA TIER OF DUBAI HILLS ESTATE

Golf Place is one of Dubai Hills Estate’s premium villa addresses — 4, 5, and 6-bedroom standalone homes set directly along the 18-hole championship golf course, positioned a clear step above Maple, Sidra, and Golf Grove in both plot size and price, while still sitting below the community’s largest mansion-tier estates like Fairway Vistas and Parkway Vistas.

THE TWO PHASES

Golf Place 1 is the original phase — 158 villas, construction completed and officially handed over by Q4 2023 / Q1 2024 depending on the source. As the first phase, it sits closer to the original core of the masterplan and carries the more established, settled feel of an earlier Dubai Hills delivery.

Golf Place 2, also marketed as Golf Place Terraces — the same development under two names, not two different projects — is the second phase: 89 villas, officially delivered by Q1 2025. This phase introduced a feature Golf Place 1 doesn’t have: a dedicated roof terrace on every villa, designed specifically for outdoor entertaining through Dubai’s cooler months. Several Golf Place 2 villas also back directly onto parkland rather than just golf course frontage, depending on plot position.

Both phases share the same underlying design quality and Emaar construction standard — the practical differences are roof terrace availability, exact plot positioning, and phase-driven pricing, not build quality.

VILLA TYPES AND HOW THEY COMPARE

Golf Place is built around three architectural styles — Contemporary, Modern, and Elegant — a styling choice at purchase rather than separate sub-zones, similar to Golf Grove’s Eames/Savoye/Aalto system one tier below it.

Within those styles, the most commonly seen layout is Type D1: a 4-bedroom-plus-study villa, single-row, typically backing onto park, with built-up area around 5,587 sqft plus a roughly 541 sqft roof terrace, on plots around 7,464 sqft. 

The ground floor centres on a guest room, expansive kitchen, and open living areas; the first floor holds three en-suite bedrooms plus an expansive master, with a 228 sqft study that works as an office, library, or additional room.

Across the wider Golf Place range, built-up areas span roughly 5,000 to 8,600+ sqft depending on bedroom count and phase, with plot sizes from around 7,000 sqft up to 17,000 sqft for the largest configurations — a meaningfully wider range than the headline “4 to 6 bedrooms” suggests, since plot size varies as much by position within the cluster as by bedroom count.

HOW GOLF PLACE COMPARES TO OTHER DUBAI HILLS VILLA CLUSTERS

Golf Place sits in a clear middle tier: roughly double the built-up area of a Sidra villa, but well under half the footprint of the community’s largest golf-mansion estates.

 It’s the point in Dubai Hills’ villa stock where golf-course frontage becomes a defining feature of every unit, not an occasional premium — every Golf Place villa faces the course.

PRICING CONTEXT

At launch, Golf Place 1 villas started from AED 6.3 million; Golf Place 2 launched from a similar range, around AED 7 million for 4-bedroom units.

 Resale pricing today reflects several years of established-community premium: average villa pricing in Golf Place 1 currently runs around AED 23 million, at roughly AED 2,560 per sqft — figures that should be read as indicative of the top end of the cluster (larger plots, premium positions) rather than a flat average across every unit.

AMENITIES

• Direct frontage onto the Dubai Hills 18-hole championship golf course
• Roof terrace on every villa (Golf Place 2 / Terraces)
• Clubhouse and community centre facilities
• Swimming pools
• Retail and dining within the cluster
• Walking and cycling tracks
• Proximity to top-rated schools, including Safa Community School and Kings’ School Al Barsha, both KHDA-rated Outstanding
•  

LOCATION WITHIN DUBAI HILLS ESTATE

Golf Place sits in the southern enclave of Dubai Hills Estate, with Dubai Hills Mall accessible directly from the cluster. 

The location offers roughly 21 minutes to Dubai Mall, 21 minutes to Burj Al Arab, 26 minutes to Dubai International Airport, and around 42 minutes to Al Maktoum International Airport.

WHO BUYS HERE

Golf Place draws a buyer profile a step up from Maple or Sidra — established families and high-net-worth end-users who want genuine standalone-villa scale with golf course frontage as a baseline feature, not an upgrade. 

The relatively low unit count across both phases (158 plus 89, 247 villas total) keeps the cluster more exclusive than Dubai Hills’ larger townhouse communities, while remaining more accessible in both price and footprint than the community’s top mansion tier.

WHY THIS MATTERS FOR BUYERS

The phase matters more here than in most Dubai Hills clusters. Golf Place 2 / Terraces villas come with a roof terrace as standard — a feature Golf Place 1 villas don’t have — and several Golf Place 2 plots back directly onto parkland rather than golf course alone.

 For a buyer comparing the two phases at similar price points, that roof terrace and the specific plot backing (park vs. fairway vs. both) are the details that actually differentiate one villa from another within the same cluster, more than which phase name appears in the listing.
