Introducing

Villa living, built around green space.

Dubai Golf City is a freehold residential district in Dubailand, planned across roughly 55 million square feet around golf and green space. It is lower-density than the city's apartment hubs, made up of gated villa and townhouse communities such as Gulf Land's Paradise Hills, and it sits close to Dubai Sports City and Motor City with highway links north to the rest of Dubai.

Life in Golf City

The district takes its name from the golf-led plan behind it: fairways, landscaped open space and low-rise homes in place of high-rise towers.

Homes here are villas and townhouses with private gardens, and at Paradise Hills every home comes with its own pool, giving families room inside and out.

Highway links run north towards Al Barsha, Dubai Marina and Downtown Dubai, while Dubai Sports City and Motor City next door add schools, shops and sport.

Dubai Golf City is still growing, with new gated communities under way. Gulf Land's Paradise Hills, a collection of 170 villas and townhouses, is 85% complete.

    Buying in Golf City

    What it really costs to buy off-plan.

    Enter a price to see every government fee on an off-plan purchase, the cash you need when you sign, and an estimate of monthly repayments and running costs after handover.

    Cash needed upfront
    Monthly repayment

    Government fees from the Dubai Land Department's published service fees for initial-sale (Oqood) registration and mortgage registration, retrieved 6 October 2026. UAE banks lend up to 50% of the price on off-plan homes; they also charge valuation and arrangement fees, which vary. The rate shown is an example, so check current offers with your bank. The service charge is an estimate you can change; the final figure is set once the building is completed. This is an estimate, not financial advice.
