About Golf Grove
Golf Grove is a gated villa community by Emaar Properties within Dubai Hills Estate, offering 3 and 4-bedroom villas positioned directly along the community's own 18-hole championship golf course. Launched in February 2019, the community is fully delivered today: Dubai Land Department-linked resale and mortgage transactions show villas trading as recently as September 2026, and live listings include currently tenanted units, both signs of an established, actively occupied community rather than an off-plan project.
Golf Grove should not be confused with two other similarly named Emaar developments within the same masterplan. Golf Grand is a separate apartment building, not villas, elsewhere in Dubai Hills Estate. Golf Place and its Golf Place Terraces sub-cluster is a separate, much larger villa and mansion product, with units starting from around 8,730 sq ft, roughly 2.5 times the size of Golf Grove's largest 4-bedroom villa. Golf Grove's own villas are considerably smaller, in the 2,910 to 3,368 sq ft range across three named architectural styles: Eames, Savoye and Aalto.
Sources disagree on Golf Grove's exact total villa count (one source states a boutique 30-villa collection; a separate, lower-reliability source states 166 villas), and the most methodical source checked for this guide states plainly that Emaar never published an official unit count at all. This guide does not commit to either figure as fact. The exact completion date is similarly unconfirmed beyond "delivered": one source cites December 2022; the original 2019 sales launch targeted July 2021. What is well corroborated across multiple independent sources is that Golf Grove is fully delivered and actively trading today, regardless of the precise historical date.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Golf Grove sits within Dubai Hills Estate, Emaar's master community built around the Dubai Hills Golf Club's 18-hole championship course, off Al Khail Road within Mohammed Bin Rashid City. The community includes Dubai Hills Mall, Dubai Hills Park, several schools including GEMS International School, and two hospitals including King's College Hospital, all shared amenities across the wider masterplan.
Dubai Hills Estate already has a wide range of other developments covered separately on royalestays.com, including Golf Grand, Emerald Hills 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.
Villa Types & Architectural Styles
Golf Grove offers 3 and 4-bedroom villas across three named architectural styles selected at purchase: Eames and Savoye (both 3-bedroom, approximately 2,910 to 2,940 sq ft total area) and Aalto (4-bedroom, approximately 3,368 sq ft). Every villa includes a private rooftop terrace, 549 sq ft on the Eames and Savoye styles and 590 sq ft on the Aalto style, per Emaar's own floor plans. Real resale and mortgage transaction data shows a somewhat wider practical range in the market today (roughly 2,848 to 4,163 sq ft for 3-bedroom villas and 3,587 to 3,763 sq ft for 4-bedroom villas), which is normal variance across a resale market rather than a contradiction of the brochure figures.
Amenities
Golf Grove includes a resort-style clubhouse, a community swimming pool, outdoor fitness facilities, a tennis court, a basketball court, children's play areas and landscaped picnic spaces, alongside each villa's own private rooftop terrace. As part of the wider Dubai Hills Estate masterplan, residents also share access to the 18-hole championship golf course and Dubai Hills Golf Club, Dubai Hills Park and Dubai Hills Mall.
Sales & Completion Status
Golf Grove launched in February 2019 with an original payment-plan completion target of July 2021. One source states the community's completion was later confirmed in December 2022, though this specific date is not independently corroborated elsewhere. What is well corroborated is that Golf Grove is fully delivered and actively trading today: Dubai Land Department-linked transaction data shows villa resales and mortgages through September 2026, and live listings include a currently tenanted unit with a strong resident satisfaction score.
This guide treats Golf Grove as an established, already-delivered villa community with an active resale and rental market, without committing to an exact completion date or total unit count given the disclosed conflicts in the About section above.
Airbnb / STR Income Potential
Golf Grove is an Emaar-developed villa community, 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 Grove villa is not structurally blocked from holiday-home use.
Royale Stays does not currently manage a villa in Golf Grove specifically, but does manage villas elsewhere in Dubai, including Mag City in MBR City and across DAMAC Hills and DAMAC Hills 2, 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 Grove-specific rental income or occupancy figure is quoted here. Royale Stays' confirmed villa-management track record is centred on Mag City, DAMAC Hills and DAMAC Hills 2, not Dubai Hills Estate, so this section describes general service capability rather than an existing Golf Grove track record.
