Golf Edge Emaar South Dubai

Golf Edge is an Emaar Properties release on the championship golf course at Emaar South, the Emaar master community inside Dubai South near Al Maktoum International Airport. It is one building of 12 floors holding one, two and three-bedroom apartments, plus only five three-bedroom townhouses, each with staff quarters and a full view of the course. Homes run from about 796 sq ft to about 2,987 sq ft, and every apartment has a balcony or terrace.

One-bedrooms start at AED 1,170,000 (about Rs 3.01 crore), two-bedrooms at AED 1.73 M and the townhouses at AED 4.75 M. The plan is 10/70/20 with nothing after handover, and handover is set for February 2029. The source listing carries no price, so the figures here come from four portal pages that agree with one another.

At a glance

Price and unit pricing

We print AED 1,170,000 because four separate portal and broker pages give the same one-bedroom start, and none of them prints a lower or a later figure. The sizes by plan for the two and three-bedrooms are not published in the snippets we could read, so we do not compute a rate for them. Ask Emaar for the floor plan of the unit it offers, because the implied rate is what tells you whether a given unit is fairly priced.

Against its neighbours and the district

Golf Dale, the two-tower release beside it, launched one-bedrooms at AED 1.12 M for about 780 sq ft, about AED 1,436 per sq ft. Golf Edge is about AED 50,000 dearer for 16 sq ft more, so the two are priced almost level per foot. Its three-bedroom townhouse at AED 4.75 M sits above Golf Dale's launch figure of AED 4 M, but it is also larger, up to about 2,987 sq ft against about 2,559.

Across Emaar South, 2026 guides put prices between AED 1,150 and 1,900 per sq ft, with the average apartment sale about AED 1.72 M for just over 1,000 sq ft. The Golf Edge one-bedroom is in the middle of that band; nothing here is a discount to the district, and nothing is priced at the top.

Payment plan and total cost

The plan is 10/70/20: 10% to book, 70% in instalments over about four years of construction, and 20% on handover. Some pages call it 80/20. There is no post-handover portion.

Worked example: a AED 1,170,000 one-bedroom

A broker, if you use one, adds 2% plus VAT, about AED 23,400. The 70% construction share is the part to plan for: it is about AED 205,000 a year over four years, and it falls due whatever happens to your own finances in that time.

Service charge. Emaar has not published a budget for Golf Edge. Dubai charges run from about AED 3 per sq ft a year in plain communities to more than AED 30 in amenity-heavy towers. A 12-storey building with its own pool sits somewhere in the lower middle of that range. Every AED 10 per sq ft adds about AED 7,960 a year on the 796 sq ft one-bedroom.

Location and connectivity

Emaar South sits inside Dubai South, reached from Emirates Road (E611) and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road (E311). One portal puts Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) about 5 minutes from Golf Edge, Dubai Marina about 30 and Downtown Dubai about 35. Emaar's own copy speaks of the Dubai - Al Ain Road; the community guides name Emirates Road and E311 as the approaches, so time the commute on a map.

The building's position is its argument: it is set on the course itself, and Emaar sells every home on the fairway view. The district around it is mid-build, with more Emaar golf releases and the airport's expansion still ahead, so expect construction nearby for years after 2029. There is no metro in the community; UAE Exchange on the Red Line is about 17 km by road.

Golf Edge sits beside Golf Dale, the two-tower apartment and townhouse release that hands over two months earlier, and near Emaar's villa phases such as Golf Lane. Compare them on our Dubai South page, across all Dubai projects we track, or in the full projects list.

Amenities and specifications

Emaar lists a pool, family barbecue areas set in landscaping, and a children's play area within Golf Edge. The wider community adds jogging tracks, yoga areas, tennis courts, an outdoor gym and a public park with playgrounds and event lawns, with the 18-hole championship course and its clubhouse as the centrepiece.

The portals quote balconies or terraces and walk-in closets in every home, and staff quarters in the five townhouses. A townhouse of up to about 2,987 sq ft with a maid's room is a family house in all but name, and at five units it is the scarcest product in the building.

About the developer

Emaar Properties built Burj Khalifa, The Dubai Mall and Downtown Dubai and master-planned Dubai Marina, Dubai Hills Estate and Dubai Creek Harbour. It says it has delivered more than 84,000 homes since 2002, including 3,633 in the first half of 2026, a half in which it booked AED 26.6 billion of property sales and carried a revenue backlog of AED 164.9 billion.

In Emaar South, the Expo Golf Villas phases and Golf Links villas are delivered and lived in, which is the evidence that Emaar finishes what it sells here. The caution is volume: more than 67,000 Emaar units are under development, 51,441 of them in the UAE, and several golf-course apartment releases in Emaar South hand over within months of each other. That is good for Emaar's execution and less good for your resale price in 2029.

For Indian buyers

Ownership. Emaar South is freehold for foreign nationals. During the build your purchase sits as an Oqood record at the DLD; after handover the DLD issues the title deed in your name. There is no annual property tax and no VAT on a residential sale in the UAE; the government cost is the 4% DLD transfer fee, AED 46,800 on the one-bedroom.

Remittance. Under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme each person can send USD 250,000 per financial year. The one-bedroom with fees is about AED 1.22 M, roughly USD 332,000. One buyer can fund it across two financial years because the payments stretch over four; a couple can do it in one. TCS of 20% on remittances above Rs 10 lakh a year is adjusted against your income tax.

Golden Visa. The property route needs AED 2 million. One and two-bedrooms fall short; the three-bedroom apartment from AED 2.5 M and the townhouses from AED 4.75 M qualify on the title deed value.

Rent and tax. No rent is published for Golf Edge. 2026 guides put Emaar South gross yields between about 4% and 7.5%, with smaller units at the top. At 6% gross the one-bedroom would earn about AED 70,200 a year before service charges. The rent is untaxed in the UAE; an Indian tax resident declares it in India with the 30% standard deduction and lists the flat as a foreign asset.

Pros

• A single building of 12 floors, so fewer neighbours and a quieter lobby than a tower cluster
• Every home is sold on a golf-course view, and the five townhouses are genuinely scarce
• One-bedroom entry at AED 1,170,000, about AED 1,470 per sq ft - mid-band for Emaar South
• 10% to book and nothing after handover
• Emaar's delivery record and its liquid resale brand

Cons

• Handover in February 2029 is the latest of Emaar South's golf-course apartment releases on our pages
• Priced slightly above the neighbouring Golf Dale for similar one-bedrooms
• No metro; the Red Line is about 17 km away
• No construction progress, DLD project number or service-charge budget published
• Emaar keeps releasing near-identical golf-side stock, which caps resale premiums

Who this is for

• Buyers who want a small, low-rise building rather than a tower cluster
• Families who want one of five golf-course townhouses with staff quarters
• Long-horizon investors backing the Al Maktoum airport expansion
• Couples funding about USD 330,000 through the LRS across four years

Who should look elsewhere

• Anyone who needs keys or rent before spring 2029
• Metro commuters to Downtown, DIFC or the Marina
• Buyers chasing the Golden Visa from a one or two-bedroom
• Anyone who wants a quick resale gain on a long Emaar South pipeline

Our verdict

Golf Edge is the smallest-scale of Emaar South's golf-course apartment releases: one 12-storey building and five townhouses, where Golf Dale next door has two towers. The entry figure is AED 1,170,000 for about 796 sq ft, about AED 1,470 per sq ft, a little above Golf Dale's launch rate and in the middle of Emaar South's 2026 range. What you pay the extra for is a smaller building, balconies on every home and a February 2029 handover rather than December 2028, which is not an advantage. The five townhouses at AED 4.75 M are the rare product here, since Emaar South's townhouse supply is otherwise in larger clusters. For an apartment buyer the choice between Golf Edge and Golf Dale comes down to the specific unit's view and price on Emaar's list, not the building name.

A sound Emaar buy for a patient end-user or long-hold investor who prefers a low building over a tower pair. Compare the exact unit against Golf Dale's remaining stock before booking, and do not pay a resale premium on a one-bedroom when Emaar keeps releasing similar homes nearby. If you need income before 2029, buy ready stock instead.

FAQs

What is the price of Golf Edge?

What is the payment plan?

10% on booking, 70% during construction over about four years and 20% at handover. On AED 1,170,000 that is AED 117,000, AED 819,000 and AED 234,000, plus AED 46,800 of DLD transfer fee.

When is handover?

February 2029 on the portals, written by some as Q1 2029. No construction percentage is published. The SPA date binds.

How is Golf Edge different from Golf Dale next door?

Golf Dale is two towers of 11 and 14 floors with a larger townhouse row, launched from AED 1.12 M with handover in December 2028. Golf Edge is one 12-storey building with only five townhouses, starts at AED 1,170,000 and hands over about two months later.

Does Golf Edge qualify for the UAE Golden Visa?

A one or two-bedroom at the listed prices does not; the property route needs AED 2 M. A three-bedroom apartment from AED 2.5 M or a townhouse from AED 4.75 M clears it on the title deed value.

What is the service charge?

Not published for Golf Edge. Dubai charges run from about AED 3 to more than AED 30 per sq ft a year; ask Emaar for the budgeted rate in writing before handover.

What rent can a Golf Edge apartment earn?

No rent is published for this building. 2026 guides put Emaar South gross yields between about 4% and 7.5%, higher for one-bedrooms than for three-bedrooms.

Can an Indian buyer own a unit here?

Yes. Emaar South is freehold for foreign buyers. The money leaves India under the LRS, up to USD 250,000 per person per financial year, and the DLD issues the title deed in your name after handover.
