About Golf Hillside
Golf Hillside is a single 20-storey residential tower developed by Emaar Properties within Dubai Hills Estate, positioned off Al Khail Road with views over the fairways of Dubai Hills Golf Club. The tower offers one, two and three-bedroom apartments sized from approximately 741 to 2,322 square feet across the range, priced from approximately AED 1.47 million. Handover is targeted for the fourth quarter of 2028 (December 2028 cited specifically by more than one source).
Golf Hillside is still under construction as of this guide. One source describes the building's currently marketed inventory as limited to a small number of apartments, which is not corroborated elsewhere and may reflect only a subset of released units rather than the tower's full inventory, so this guide does not state a specific total unit count as fact.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Golf Hillside sits within Dubai Hills Estate, Emaar’s master community built around an 18-hole championship golf course, with the tower positioned to overlook the fairways of Dubai Hills Golf Club. The location has direct access onto Al Khail Road, putting Downtown Dubai a short drive away, with Dubai Hills Mall within the estate itself.
Dubai Hills Estate already has a wide range of other buildings covered separately on royalestays.com, including Golf Grand, Golf Grove and Palace Residences Hillside, 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 Hillside offers one, two and three-bedroom apartments. Per the developer’s own listing and independent broker project pages, unit sizes run from approximately 741 square feet up to approximately 2,322 square feet across the range, with two-bedroom layouts around 1,190 to 1,222 square feet and three-bedroom residences around 1,603 square feet at the sizes independently corroborated across sources. As with any off-plan development, Emaar’s own sales channel is the authoritative source for exact floor plans, which can be revised before handover.
Amenities
Planned amenities include a pool and pool deck, a children’s play area, a MUGA (multi-use games area) court with fitness facilities, an indoor multipurpose room, 24-hour security and covered car parking. As with any pre-handover project, the final amenity offering is confirmed only at delivery.
Sales & Development Status
Golf Hillside is sold under a staged payment plan running through construction, with the balance due on handover, which is targeted for the fourth quarter of 2028 (December 2028 cited specifically by more than one source).
Because Golf Hillside has not yet been delivered, no sale or rental transaction history exists for the building as a completed property, so this guide does not publish sale or rental comparables it cannot support. Prospective owners can model their own scenario with Royale Stays’ ROI calculator once handover approaches and real comparables exist.
Future STR Potential
Golf Hillside is not yet delivered, so there is no current income figure, occupancy data or existing short-term rental listing to report for this building, and Royale Stays does not manage any unit here today. Once handover takes place, owners will need the same building blocks any Dubai Hills Estate holiday home needs: a DTCM holiday home permit, professional photography, dynamic pricing, round-the-clock guest communication, housekeeping between stays and owners’ association coordination.
Emaar Properties is not a hotel brand with a short-term-letting restriction, unlike Vida, the only developer confirmed to prohibit it outright, so there is no policy reason a Golf Hillside apartment could not be run as a licensed holiday home once handed over. Royale Stays already manages short-term rentals across other Dubai Hills Estate buildings and could extend that same operational model here, covered in Royale Stays’ guide to Airbnb property management in Dubai. Owners who want an early conversation ahead of handover can submit their property for more information.
This section is deliberately written as a future/conditional discussion, not a current-earnings guide. Golf Hillside has no completed units, no current owners letting short-term, and no Royale Stays-managed unit at this building today.
