DWC Golf City Launches Unique Wellness Lifestyle Concept Provides Retreat Away From Dubai’s Hectic Routine

Release date: 6 October 2008

Dubai World Central (DWC), the huge, multi-phase urban land development in South West Dubai, unveiled the concept for DWC Golf City - a 15 square kilometre sanctuary for a healthy lifestyle, on the first day of Cityscape Dubai 2008 being held at the Dubai International Exhibition Centre between 6-9 October.

 DWC Golf City is a far cry from the unhealthy pace, hectic traffic, and daily grind of commuting from home to schools, and shops and workplaces. Its iconic indoor leisure gardens, five world-class golf courses, five-star hotels and health spas are interwoven with an unmatched range of luxury villas and penthouse apartments.”

Using sustainable design principles DWC Golf City provides its residents with a healthier lifestyle which allows people to move and congregate in shaded cool environments whilst engaging in a wide range of recreational activities.

“The development will be a smart and intelligent city with state-of-the-art telecommunications and media installations which will allow a free flow of communication and information thereby avoiding wasted time and energy for its residents and guests,” said Ahmed Saeed, General Manager, DWC Golf City.

“From the use of natural sources of energy to meticulously laid out accessibility links of all its facilities through shaded walks, its very own light electric rail system and electric-powered golf carts, DWC Golf City will make its occupants leave those harmful carbon-monoxide puffing cars behind, yet still be able to travel around the city easily and enjoy its facilities.”

With an overall concept meant to provide sports and leisure activities, together with relaxation and well-being facilities, as well as eco-friendly villas to provide families a wonderfully relaxed residential retreat, DWC Golf City combines the serenity of nature with futuristic technology to make the development a truly self-contained city.

“Apart from having the most number of golf courses in one project, the concept of ‘green’ at DWC Golf City is not just all about the lush trees and grass around it, but the totality of its unique healthy lifestyle offering,” explained Saeed.

DWC Golf City will announce the signatures for the golf courses through the rest of the year and commence development by December 2008. The city will be fully occupied by around 2015 when the DWC-Al Maktoum International Airport will be completely operational. DWC

Golf City will feature several golf courses (72 holes), extensive practice facilities, driving ranges, putting greens, a luxury clubhouse with restaurants and a pro-shop. Over 20,000 freehold homes will surround the courses. The resort will also feature a high-end boutique hotel.
