Golf Fields

Golf Fields Overview

Golf Fields is an off-plan residential project by Emaar Properties in Emaar South, Dubai South. It has 181 homes, including one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments and a small number of three-bedroom townhouses, with sizes ranging from around 73 to 258 sq m. The project sits alongside Emaar South’s 18-hole championship golf course, which is one of its main features.

The project is in a freehold area, with access to major roads including Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) and Al Maktoum International Airport nearby. At the same time, the Q3 2030 handover, payment structure and continued development in Emaar South are important factors to consider when comparing the project with other options.

What Makes Golf Fields Different

• A Project Focused on One- and Two-Bedroom Apartments

Golf Fields has 181 homes, and around 84% are one- or two-bedroom apartments. This means these smaller and mid-sized homes make up most of the project, so future rental and resale demand for these unit types will be particularly relevant.

• Only Seven Townhouses

The project has just seven three-bedroom townhouses, representing around 3.9% of the total inventory. Their limited number makes them a small part of the project, but that alone does not mean they will have higher value, so buyers should still compare their price, size, layout and outdoor space.

• Living Beside an 18-Hole Golf Course

Golf Fields is located alongside an 18-hole championship golf course, with large windows designed to bring natural light into the homes and make better use of the surrounding views. However, views will vary between units, so the floor and orientation should be checked before choosing a property.

Golf Fields Apartment Design and Layouts

Golf Fields uses a modern design with large windows that bring natural light into the homes and make better use of the surrounding green spaces and golf-course views. The project offers one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments and three-bedroom townhouses, with one-bedroom units ranging from around 786–958 sq ft, two-bedroom units from 1,173–1,399 sq ft, three-bedroom apartments from 1,636–2,153 sq ft, and townhouses from 2,670–2,777 sq ft.

Layouts differ in terms of internal space, balcony or terrace size and orientation, so outdoor space and views can vary between units. The project also includes an infinity pool, padel court, indoor and outdoor gyms, yoga areas, children's pool and landscaped spaces. As the published sizes are approximate, buyers should check the exact unit area, floor plan and orientation in the sales documents.

Golf Fields Payment Plan

The payment plan requires 10% on booking, 70% during construction and 20% upon completion, with handover scheduled for Q3 2030. This means most of the purchase price is paid before handover, so buyers should consider how much of their capital will remain tied up until the project is completed, especially when comparing Golf Fields with projects that offer more post-handover payments.

Golf Fields Location

Golf Fields is located in Emaar South, within Dubai South, with road access through Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) and Emirates Road (E611). The project is close to Al Maktoum International Airport and Expo City Dubai, while the wider Emaar South community is planned around an 18-hole golf course, 25 neighbourhood parks and around 53,000 sq m of retail and dining space. The planned expansion of Al Maktoum International Airport is another major factor to watch as the area develops.

Investment Context for Golf Fields

Golf Fields is not expected to be completed until 2030, so there is currently no established rental yield for the project itself. To put the project in context, current Emaar South market data shows a median transaction price of around AED 19,480 per sq m, with about 1,302 transactions recorded over the past 12 months. Gross rental yield is estimated at around 7%.

Bayut's sales index is around AED 16,923 per sq m, with annual growth of approximately 3.78%. In the rental market, approximate rates are AED 915 per sq m for one-bedroom apartments, AED 764 for two-bedroom units and AED 635 for three-bedroom units. These figures describe the current Emaar South market and should not be treated as forecasts for Golf Fields' prices or rents at handover.

New Projects in Emaar South

Emaar South is still developing, and Golf Fields is only one of several residential projects being built or launched across the community. More supply can bring a larger population, new shops and better local services, but it also means buyers and tenants will have more properties to choose from when Golf Fields is completed. For investors, future supply is therefore something to consider alongside the purchase price and payment plan.

Sustainability at Golf Fields

The Golf Fields brochure mentions natural light, large windows, landscaped areas, green spaces and sports and wellness facilities, with the layouts designed to create a stronger connection between the homes and their surroundings. However, the reviewed documents do not provide specific figures for energy or water consumption, solar power, sustainable materials, waste management, EV charging, carbon emissions or green-building certifications such as LEED. These features can therefore be documented, but there is currently not enough information to assign an official sustainability score or measure the project's environmental performance.

Key Points to Consider

• Long completion period: Handover is planned for Q3 2030, so buyers will need to wait several years before occupying the property or generating rental income.

• 80% paid by completion: Most of the purchase price is due before handover, which is important for buyers looking for more flexibility after completion.

• New supply in Emaar South: More projects are being added to the area, which can improve local services but may also increase future rental and resale competition.

• Airport proximity: Being close to Al Maktoum International Airport is useful for connectivity, but its future expansion could also change traffic and activity patterns around the area.

Who May Golf Fields Suit?

Golf Fields may be more suitable for end users and families who like living in Emaar South, value landscaped surroundings and golf-course views, and are comfortable waiting until 2030 for completion. It may also be worth considering for long-term investors, although the outcome will depend on factors such as the purchase price, unit type and orientation, future supply and market conditions at handover. It is less suitable for buyers looking for immediate rental income or quick occupancy, as the project is still off-plan.
