1. Overview: Front-Line Golf Living with Remarkable Unit Sizes

Golf Terrace is one of Damac Hills' most respected and enduring residential developments — a completed, 9-storey multi-building complex offering 151 units ranging from elegantly sized 1-bedroom apartments to remarkably spacious 3-bedroom homes of up to 3,653 sq ft, with a small collection of townhouses occupying the first two floors. Completed in Q4 2016 after a three-year construction period, Golf Terrace occupies a prime position within the Damac Hills master community, delivering what residents consistently describe as the most direct and unobstructed front-line views of the Trump International Golf Club Dubai's rolling green fairways.

The development's name is not merely aspirational — the buildings feature genuine terraces (large private balconies) attached to most units, providing residents with a direct outdoor viewing platform from which to observe the golf course below. This architectural commitment to the view — large terrace areas rather than token Juliet balconies — distinguishes Golf Terrace from many neighboring Damac Hills apartment buildings and contributes directly to the development's sustained rental premium.

For investors, the combination of a completed 2016 building with a near-decade of proven rental performance, unusually large unit sizes for the starting price point, and the enduring demand for golf-course-view apartments in Dubai's most golf-focused master community creates a transparent, well-understood investment case.

2. Location: Damac Hills — Dubai's Golf Community

Damac Hills is a 42 million sq ft luxury master community in the Dubailand corridor, anchored by the Trump International Golf Club Dubai — the only Trump-branded golf club in the MENA region. The community provides an active, resort-style lifestyle environment at a price point substantially more accessible than comparable golf communities such as Jumeirah Golf Estates.

Key Distances from Golf Terrace:

• Trump International Golf Club Dubai: Walking distance (direct view)
• Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311): 10 minutes
• Emirates Road (E611): 15 minutes
• Dubai Studio City: 10 minutes
• Motor City & Dubai Autodrome: 12 minutes
• Dubai Production City (IMPZ): 10 minutes
• Mall of the Emirates: 20 minutes
• Dubai Marina & JBR: 25 minutes
• Downtown Dubai & Burj Khalifa: 30 minutes
• Dubai International Airport (DXB): 35 minutes

3. Building Architecture: 9 Storeys, Townhouses, and True Terraces

Golf Terrace is built as a series of 9-storey residential buildings positioned at the golf course edge — a configuration that both maximizes the proportion of units with direct golf views and creates an intimately scaled, low-rise streetscape compared to the taller towers found elsewhere in Damac Hills.

Building Structure:

• Total Floors: 9 storeys
• Floors 1–2: 8 townhouse units — ground and first floor homes with direct garden access and maximum connection to the golf course landscaping
• Floors 3–9: 142 luxury apartment units spread across 7 residential floors
• Total Units: 151 (8 townhouses + 142 + 1 from rounding in some sources)

The Terrace Architecture:

The building's defining design feature is its commitment to generous private terraces on all apartment units. Rather than standard narrow balconies, Golf Terrace apartments feature expansive outdoor terrace spaces that function as genuine outdoor living rooms — dining tables, lounge furniture, and even small herb gardens are common features residents install on their terraces. This outdoor space quality is a primary driver of rental demand premium.

Interior Finishes:

• Modern open-plan living and dining rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows
• Contemporary kitchen with fitted cabinetry and integrated appliances
• Premium tile flooring in living areas and bedrooms
• Quality bathrooms with well-specified sanitary ware
• Central A/C throughout
• Large private terrace on all apartment units

4. Unit Specifications: Generous Sizes That Stand Out

Golf Terrace's unit sizes are one of its most notable attributes — particularly the 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom configurations, which significantly exceed the typical sizing found in more recently built Damac Hills apartments:

| Type | Size Range | Notes | |---|---|---| | 1 Bedroom | 849–885 sq ft | Well-proportioned, generous by current Dubai standards | | 2 Bedroom | 1,471–1,902 sq ft | Exceptionally large — approaching villa scale for a 2BR | | 3 Bedroom | 1,840–3,653 sq ft | The 3,653 sq ft 3BR represents villa-equivalent space in an apartment |

The largest 3-bedroom apartments at 3,653 sq ft are among the biggest non-penthouse residential apartments in Damac Hills — units of this scale in a well-located completed building are very rarely available at the community's entry-level price points.

Aquatic:

• Swimming Pool: Landscaped, temperature-controlled pool with sun deck and lounge areas

Fitness:

• Gymnasium: Fully equipped fitness facility with separate male and female changing rooms

Outdoors:

• Landscaped Gardens: Green, well-maintained communal garden areas surrounding the buildings

Services:

• 24/7 Security: Controlled access, CCTV monitoring throughout
• Covered Parking: Dedicated resident parking allocation per unit
• Central A/C: Throughout all common areas and units

6. Trump International Golf Club Dubai — The Frontline View

Golf Terrace's primary lifestyle and investment asset is its direct frontline position on the Trump International Golf Club Dubai's fairways.

Golf Club Details:

• Course: 18-hole championship course designed by European Golf Design
• Brand Management: Trump Hotels & Golf — the only Trump-branded golf facility in the MENA region
• Facilities: Driving range with Toptracer ball-tracking technology, professional golf academy with certified instructors, pro shop, golf simulator bays
• Clubhouse: Trump-managed restaurant, bar, and social facilities open to non-members and community residents
• Tournaments: Hosts professional and amateur tournaments, including club championships and corporate golf events

For Golf Terrace residents, the golf course is not an abstract location benefit — it is an immediate visual and recreational part of daily life, visible from terraces, living rooms, and bedrooms at every hour of the day.

7. Damac Hills Master Community Amenities

Beyond Golf Terrace's own facilities, residents have full access to the Damac Hills master community infrastructure:

• Malibu Bay Wave Pool: Wave surfing simulator, wave pool, lazy river, splash pad
• Equestrian Track & Stables: Horse riding and equestrian sports within the community
• Sports Fields: Multi-use fields for cricket, football, and outdoor sports
• Tennis & Padel Courts
• Skate Park & BMX Track
• Fishing Lake
• Damac Mall: Supermarket, restaurants, pharmacies, and essential retail

Damac Hills Rental Market:

Golf Terrace's combination of direct golf views, generous unit sizes, and terrace living commands a premium over average Damac Hills apartment rentals:

Capital Appreciation:

Damac Hills apartment values have appreciated significantly 2020–2025. Golf Terrace, with its 2016 vintage and front-line positioning, benefits from both broader market appreciation and the increasing scarcity of front-line golf apartments at affordable price points as newer buildings fill in the community's remaining plots.

Freehold & Golden Visa:

Full freehold title available to all nationalities.

9. Why Golf Terrace Stands Apart

1. True Front-Line Position — No road, building, or infrastructure between the terraces and the golf course fairways — the view is as direct as it is possible to achieve
2. Genuine Terraces — Large private outdoor spaces rather than token balconies; this architectural commitment to outdoor living is Golf Terrace's most distinctive daily quality-of-life feature
3. 2-Bedroom Units from 1,471 sq ft — In a market where 2BR apartments average 1,000–1,200 sq ft, Golf Terrace's 2BR minimum of 1,471 sq ft is a significant differentiator
4. Completed 2016 with 8+ Years of Rental History — No construction risk; transparent, proven rental performance data available
5. Trump Golf Club Adjacency — The only Trump-branded golf facility in MENA; the brand association creates permanent rental marketing narrative
