About Golf Grand
Golf Grand is a residential apartment development by Emaar Properties within Dubai Hills Estate, offering 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments, including ground-floor level residential units, in a low-rise building set beside the community's 18-hole championship golf course. The Dubai Land Department's own registry records the project as fully complete, with completion recorded on 23 January 2026, though a couple of third-party property portals still carry an older, unrefreshed off-plan listing status that does not match Emaar's own live sales page, which shows the project effectively sold out, with a single unit remaining as of September 2026.
Golf Grand should not be confused with Golf Place or Golf Place Terraces, a separate, similarly named Emaar villa and townhouse development elsewhere within Dubai Hills Estate. Golf Grand is an apartment building; Golf Place and Golf Place Terraces are villas and townhouses. The two are distinct developments that happen to share the "Golf" naming convention used across several Dubai Hills Estate sub-projects, including Golf Grand, Golf Place, Golf Suites, Golf Grove and Golf Hillside.
Sources checked for this guide disagree on Golf Grand's exact total unit count (a DLD-registry-sourced tracker states 720 apartments, while a separate portal aggregator states 329) and, less materially, on the precise completion timeline (the DLD registry itself records the project as 100% complete since January 2026, while two portal listings still show a stale handover Q1 2027 status). Given no independent third source resolves either figure, this guide states only that Golf Grand is a substantial, already-delivered apartment development, without committing to either disputed number as fact.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Golf Grand sits within Dubai Hills Estate, Emaar's roughly 2,700-acre master community built around Dubai Hills Golf Club's 18-hole championship course, off Al Khail Road within Mohammed Bin Rashid City. The wider community includes Dubai Hills Park (180,000 sqm), Dubai Hills Mall (282,000 sqm), three schools and a 54km bicycle route network, all shared amenities across the masterplan.
Dubai Hills Estate already has a wide range of other buildings covered separately on royalestays.com, including Golf Suites, Elvira and Palm Hills, each a separate development with its own developer timeline and unit mix. For a wider view of the area's short-term rental market, Royale Stays' Airbnb management guide for Dubai Hills Estate covers licensing and demand across the wider community.
Unit Types
Golf Grand offers 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments, including ground-floor level residential units. Per independent portal and DLD-transaction data, 1-bedroom units run approximately 680 to 910 sq ft and 2-bedroom units approximately 1,000 to 1,350 sq ft, with 3-bedroom units larger still; Emaar's own current listing shows a 1,327 sq ft unit priced at AED 2,709,888. As with any Emaar development, the developer's own sales channel is the authoritative source for any specific unit's exact floor plan.
Amenities
Confirmed amenities include an infinity pool and pool deck, a children's play area, a fitness centre, an indoor multi-purpose room, a landscaped podium deck, a rooftop lounge, 24-hour security and covered parking. Golf Grand residents also share the wider Dubai Hills Estate community's amenity set: the 18-hole championship golf course and Dubai Hills Golf Club, Dubai Hills Park, and Dubai Hills Mall.
Sales & Completion Status
Golf Grand's completion status is disputed across the sources checked for this guide. A DLD-registry-sourced handover tracker records the project as 100% complete, with completion registered on 23 January 2026 (720 apartments, construction started August 2023, project registered value AED 223.2M). Emaar's own live sales page is consistent with this: as of September 2026 it shows the project effectively sold out, with a single unit remaining, priced from AED 2,709,888.
Two third-party portal listings instead still show an older off-plan, handover Q1 2027 status; one of those same portals' own DLD-linked transaction table shows a run of ready-status resale transactions dated as recently as July 2026, which is inconsistent with its own page-level off-plan label. Given the DLD registry and Emaar's own current inventory both point the same way, this guide treats Golf Grand as an already-delivered, largely sold-out apartment development, while noting the conflicting portal data honestly rather than ignoring it.
Airbnb / STR Income Potential
Golf Grand is an Emaar-developed apartment building, and Emaar is not a hotel brand with a short-term-letting restriction of the kind that applies to Vida-branded buildings, the only confirmed prohibition on short-term letting in Dubai, so a Golf Grand apartment is not structurally blocked from holiday-home use.
Royale Stays does not currently manage a unit in Golf Grand specifically, but already manages short-term rentals across other Dubai Hills Estate buildings, and can extend that same operational model here: professional photography, dynamic pricing, guest communication, housekeeping between stays and DTCM holiday home permit handling, for a fee starting from 15%. Owners can read Royale Stays' Dubai holiday home permit guide for how the process works, model a scenario with the ROI calculator, or submit their property directly.
No Golf Grand-specific rental income or occupancy figure is quoted here. Royale Stays does not currently manage a unit in this specific building; this section describes general service capability, not a Golf Grand track record.
