Championship moments, Creekside rituals, and a stay that stays with you

From 15 to 18 January 2026, the eyes of the golf world return to Dubai Creek Resort, where the second edition of the Dubai Invitational brings together elite players, iconic matchups, and one of the most picturesque courses on the DP World Tour.

Tommy Fleetwood, fresh off a historic season and his FedExCup title, returns to defend his crown. Rory McIlroy, now a career Grand Slam champion, comes back to chase the trophy he narrowly missed two years ago.

The tournament sets the stage. But what surrounds it: the atmosphere, the views, the dining, the quiet details, is what sets Dubai Creek Resort apart.

This is where championship golf meets timeless hospitality.

Golf that shaped a city

The Dubai Creek Golf Club has been a landmark since 1993. Its sail-shaped clubhouse, rolling fairways, and marina setting have played host to some of the most celebrated moments in regional golf.

During tournament week, 60 professionals and 60 amateurs compete across three days of Pro-Am play, before a professional-only Sunday finale. Entry is free, and you can register your place at dpworldtour.com.

Those not on the leaderboard can still get closer to the game. The Peter Cowen Academy offers swing analysis, private coaching, and short-game refinement for all levels. Driving ranges, indoor studios, and putting greens stay open throughout the week. Whether you're a spectator or a scratch player, there’s always time for a round.

Where you stay becomes part of the experience

Within walking distance of the 18th green, Park Hyatt Dubai offers rooms and suites that overlook gardens, marinas, and the Creek. Interiors feel calm and open. Mornings start with light through the shutters, not alarms.

For more extended stays or group bookings, the resort’s villas offer space and seclusion in three distinct styles.

Solenna Villas balance modernity with light, bright textures.
Elara Villas give families direct access to the Creek.
Golf Villas bring you as close to the course as it gets.

Whether you're a player, partner, sponsor, or fan, every room here feels like it belongs to the moment.

Brunch tables. Sunset cocktails. And everything in between.

In the rhythm of tournament week, food matters more than ever. And at Dubai Creek Resort, every meal feels considered.

Traiteur Brunch is a Saturday institution: seafood towers, grilled meats, caviar, a famed cheese room and marina views. The energy rises with every course.

By night, Asado Nights by Chef Rodrigo brings the fire. Chef Rodrigo Llanes returns with a soulful Argentine menu built around open flame, curated wines, and a creative atmosphere that reflects Park Hyatt’s Masters of Food & Wine programme.

Boardwalk delivers Italian spirit by the water, with its Squisito Brunch, family-style Sundays at Nonna’s Table, and daily golden-hour Aperitivo. Pizza-making sessions give younger guests their moment, too.

At The Thai Kitchen, native chefs work across three live kitchens to serve authentic regional dishes, from wok-fried street staples to delicately grilled meats and seafood. The Sawasdee Brunch and Thai Cook-Off Challenge add a personal touch to every bite.

Lakeview, just beside the clubhouse, is an all-day favourite. From The Breakfast Club to Backyard Movie Brunch, business lunches to Beat the House match nights, it flows with the pace of the day.

And for something slower, NOÉPE offers ceviche, sushi, signature cocktails and creekside calm. Whether you join for the Sunset Soirée, a Sakura Sushi night, or an intimate Cocktail Masterclass, the setting always delivers.

For late nights and casual favourites, The Lounge is the perfect spot to round out the experience with shisha, sport, and soft music from the Piazza.

You can plan every evening around the game or let the game finish and follow wherever your appetite leads.

Recovery. Ritual. And time to reset.

Between tee times and terrace tables, there’s room for pause. At Amara Spa, treatments draw on regional traditions, high-performance skincare, and deep tissue massage. Private villa-style suites are set among gardens, and the quiet comes naturally.

Next door, Rossano Ferretti Salon offers hair and grooming services shaped by one of the world’s most recognised names in style. It’s ideal for players, guests, or anyone preparing for a gala, Pro-Am dinner, or slow afternoon.

The Creek, the Marina, and time on the water

Our beautiful marina, managed by Viya Marine, is the perfect spot for a relaxing dockside stroll and stunning sunset views. Guests can admire luxury yachts and, if inspired, visit the marina office to explore a selection of boats for sale.

Padel, tennis, and play beyond the course

For those who prefer racquets to wedges, Viya Padel and PBI Tennis offer professional courts, lessons, and match play just steps from your villa or suite.

While the players train, guests can cross-train. And if you’re travelling with family, there’s always something to do, whether it’s supervised play at The Kids Club, brunches designed with little ones in mind, or quiet mornings by the pool.

This isn’t just a golf tournament. It’s a Creekside stay.

The Dubai Invitational is a special moment. On the leaderboard, in the stands, and on the screen.

But at Dubai Creek Resort, that moment expands and elevates. Into brunches and spa sessions. Into villa check-ins and sushi nights. Into the early light over the marina, or the late-night stillness after a win.

Whether you’re here to compete, cheer, entertain or unwind, the Resort keeps you close to the game and everything that surrounds it.
